About Jet

mga padi! kumusta na. more than 12 years na yata an nakalipas san urhi nato na pagbaragat. anyways, to update you about me and the goings on in my life:

school
going out of the college seminary after a year, i found myself enrolled in a psychology course in PUP -Sta. Mesa. it was the first time in my life that the average no. of students per class was around 50. sa minor 20+ lang tayo di ba. sa college 10+. shocking. anyways lumipat ako ng sociology kasi isip ko lalo akong mabubuang sa psych. sa kabutihang palad naman nakatapos din.

work
upon graduating "officially" i worked for otradev, an NGO working with the indigenous peoples and fisherfolks in the southern tagalog region. i was assigned in oriental mindoro and worked amongst the iraya mangyan for around 3 years. after my the project ended i worked at phildhrra (a network of NGOs focusing on agrarian reform) in the upland development unit, then later on was assigned to the technical services department. then i was hired by natcco (a confederation of coops) as a communications officer and worked there for 2 years. i am currently working at asiadhrra (a regional network of asian ngos) as the MIS officer.

i am also a self-taught graphic designer and i design and produce books, websites, presentations, large format prints, magazines.

family
i'm married (officialy last jan 28) to Let and we have a precocious 4 year old son Julian. we've been together for around 10 years or so. we live in a suburb in masinag, antipolo. presently, let and julian are living in the states. kasi immigrants na sila. i'm still here in good 'ol philippines. buhay single kuno. if all goes well, magkakasama kami in 3 years.

here are some pictures when i visited seminario again after 19 years.
