That piece of butter on your breakfast table or your favourite brand of ice cream, beer, laundry detergent, furniture, car, etc., etc., would not be there if it weren’t for the tens of thousands of ships carrying around 20 million containers across the world’s oceans. And these vessels would not be making their way to your country without the seafarers who man them. Shipping and the entire logistics chain remain very relevant today, and in an age where they say print is dead, this audacious band of people decided to launch a maritime magazine to honor the tireless individuals who make the shipping and logistics industry 🙌🏼Thank you for getting me to write for the maiden issue of #FASMaritime, @vivalogos @mamamela70 @lougonzales. You guys are AMAZEEEHNG! 💙🧡

It’s finally out: “On the March: The Jesuits in the Philippines since the Restoration”. The unexpected writing assignment that not only took me on a physical journey across the Philippines (from Bukidnon to Culion to Cagayan de Oro to the Bilibid Prison in Muntinlupa and everywhere in Metro Manila) for two crazy months to cover different apostolates of the Jesuits and gave me a deeper appreciation of my education in universities run by the Society of Jesus, but also brought about that much needed shaking up of my spiritual and emotional core. I still remember that mass Fr. Javi made on our last morning in Culion, Palawan, and his message then was “Ang tamang panahon ay bumubunga” (The right time will bear fruit) which, if you know me, timing has always been a concept I’ve struggled with. It looks like the time for this one is now—I love how the book turned out and captured the amazing impact the Jesuits have especially on spiritually neglected sectors where the need to “find God in all things” is greatest. It wouldn’t be a stretch to say this has been the most inspiring and emotionally rewarding project I’ve worked on, its official launch yesterday a timely reminder of what a privilege it is to be a journalist, to witness first-hand and write stories that would otherwise remain untold. I love my job 🙏🏼💛 #journalism #journolife #writing #societyofjesus #jesuits

Acai berry bowl and a cup of yummy matcha latte, which has become a serious contender to coffee in recent weeks #🍵vs☕️ #ilikeyousomatcha #matchalatte #acaibowl #nomi #nomiacaivibe #modernjapanesecafe
Finally got to see some of the interesting things the #GrandHyattManila is cooking up and much as I want to keep it a secret.. the place is where all the good wines (and chocolate lava cake 🤤🤤🤤) of Manila have been hiding. Thanks @kdeungria for the sneak peek (and the beer) #ifidontmakesenseblameitonthealcohol
