Business / Enterprise Experience: Aside from being in the Ateneo Graduate School of Business, I have been exposed to various aspects of business in my previous and current company, particularly Human Resources, Operations and Finance. Probably, the only aspect of business that I don't have much exposure to is Marketing.
Business Plan Topic in Mind: Training and Recruitment Center for Maids
Notable Achievements: When I took a part-time teaching job at a local school right after graduating, while waiting for the board exam, I became a motivation / inspiration for a student. He originally did not plan to go to college but after me, talking to me and becoming friends with me, my experiences inspired him. He strived hard to go to the same school I went to in college but failed. He got up again and became a scholar at another school.
Failures (if any?): Cliché as it may sound, I never considered anything as a failure. If something is not achieved based on what I expected, I always charge it to experience.
Dark Secrets (if any?): I believe my life is an open book. What you see is what you get. Thus, I don't have any dark secrets.

WHERE AM I GOING?

Personal Vision Statement: To become a successful member of society doing more for the society rather than the society doing more for me.
Personal Mission Statement: To increase my value as a person and as a member of the society by developing myself, ensuring that I will continuously stay productive and returning all that I can to the community I belong to.
Desired Material Reward in the Next 5 Years (SMART):

What will be the value, if any, of the subject to your profession?
