Good and real friends are known during the best and worst times of your life

Ilonggos in Manila

With a mix of friends from high school, after college and from Iloilo...Old friends show how good a person is to be able to keep them

I have a bachelor’s degree in Economics. Someone in my life before told me that I tend to avoid risks because I was so focused on managed and calculated risk that I was always on the safe side. That person said you won’t feel that you truly are alive when you don’t risk big at times especially in going for the things you want and making things happen and possible.

My biggest risks were running for office in a political territory that wasn’t as familiar as the province and the political personalities weren’t as friendly then, going for the woman I love despite the distance, going to top schools and getting courses that were challenging, opening myself to the public as a media personality and going for what I want and not just settle for anything less.

I would still suggest we go for managed and calculated risks but be reminded that with high risks there will always be high rewards.

As what I usually say as my battle cry or my usual spiel, Para sa kauswagan sang Syudad sang Iloilo, UGYON Kabataang Ilonggo, UGYON Iloilo. Ilonggos are worth working and fighting for.
