I've visited Taiwan twice already and I absolutely love it there. That's why I'm glad that the "Go Green with Taiwan" movement has been launched! It is a global initiative for groups or individuals to come up with environmental and economic sustainability project concepts that will implement Taiwan green industry solutions while fostering technological relevance.

Honored and inspired to have been a part of the 3rd National Investigative Journalism Conference 💯 To be among the carefully selected participants from all over the country - what an honor!

100 journalists. 46 speakers. 3 plenary sessions. 12 breakout sessions. Topics were extremely relevant and urgent including artificial intelligence, deep fakes, social media for news and public engagement, 2025 elections (‼️), collaborations, digital storytelling etc.

Also had the chance to listen to the reporters who have made quite a mark including Caecent who unearthed that controversial swimming pool amid what’s supposed to be recognized as our natural treasure, the Bohol Chocolate Hills. You can feel her passion in her voice and you can’t help but hope that there will be more like her - who will fearlessly write what should be written, without qualms or hesitation.

Thank you so much to the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism, to Miss Weng, Miss Carmela, Aaron and to the rest of your awesome team. Thank you to everyone who made this 3-day event a success.

I will definitely incorporate all my learnings not only in my writing and my platforms but also in my speeches and workshops.

Extra special shoutout to Miss Rowena for trusting folks like me who belong under the “in-between” category (a little journalism experience, a little digital/social experience but a whole lotta respect for the community and belief that when we respectfully synergize and innovate together, we can accomplish tons!)

Cheers!

THE HEAT IS ON IN SAIGON 🇻🇳 How can I describe this production of Miss Saigon? Gather all the superlatives you know and that’s how 💯

I first watched Miss Saigon in New York City 7 years ago and I must say, the Manila production is just as world-class. Amazing stage design, powerful, heart wrenching voices, passionate acting, awesome dance routines/choreography and although there were very, very slight changes in lyrics, the show is a must-see, especially with the refreshing presence of Seann Miley Moore 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

Abigail Adriano as Kim was purely spectacular. I loved how she embraced her role with so much tenacity that she made me cry a few times! Handsome Nigel Huckle as Chris, on the other hand, was a joy to watch and listen to. Intense voice and he went from being a naive, smitten G.I. to a man torn between life decisions. Watch out for Lewis Francis, who plays Jon, because I can’t promise that you can’t cry when he sings “Bui Doi.” Of course, Kiara Dario as Gigi was EVERYTHING. Sooo good! The role fit her like a glove. Laurence Mossman as Thuy was perfectly cast as well. Lovely, deep voice that could swim the recesses of your soul haha.

And then, of course, there’s Seann. Oh, where and how do I begin to show my admiration for someone who possesses a different kind of magic? He has completely redefined the role of The Engineer. He made it his and we all can’t help but agree. Bravo! 👏

BTW, I brought along my Mama to watch. Of course, only the best seat for her! Third row from the stage, center 👌🏻 It was truly a different kind of experience. Worth every single penny!

Also met the cast after the show and they were all sooo nice 🥰 Of course, I excitedly told Jack and David that I follow them on TikTok 😁 Abi is so pretty and even made mano kay Mama! Nigel Huckle is so handsome 🫶🏻

Catch the last few remaining days of ! IT IS A MUST-WATCH, trust me!
