What moves Me
#investinantique
I consider myself as a serial volunteer and social activist. I am passionate about contributing in the movement of seeing positive change to the lives of our kasimanwas (fellow Antiqueños), who for years have been taken for granted by our leaders. I am an advocate of politics of change that hopefully could bring new hopes and dreams for a new and progressive Antique.
The Great Idea
BALANGAY TOURS
BALANGAY TOURS aims to develop and organize tour services around the islands and islets of Municipality of Caluya, a remote and only island municipality of Antique Province heavily dependent on mining activity, providing alternative source of livelihood for the people.

The Great Idea
BALANGAY TOURS
The enterprise envisions of exploring and showcasing the town’s hidden treasures and beauty while the area is still not totally ravaged and destroyed by unabated mining operations in the nearby island.
#investinantique
The lessons and insights I could acquire from #CBSME Program could help me and our fellow Antiqueno youth leaders in Antique greatly in creating an effective campaign of promoting the Balangay Tours project that we hope could bring positive impact on the lives of our kasimanwas in the islands of Caluya.
The program could equip me the necessary skills in launching and implementing alternative ways of promoting social tourism at the same time raising attention on the plights of the residents of the area on issues of environmental protection and sustainable livelihood practices..
How can the #CBSME Program help us
CBSME could be a life changing moment for me where I could acquire necessary skills and knowledge, equipping me with tools I could utilize in my journey towards serving the welfare of my province for the rest of my life.
I long for the day that I could bring my family to settle back in my home province where I could contribute greatly in advocating positive change on the many social issues that our people is facing.
Why I want to be a Certified Blog and Social Media Entrepreneur
#investinantique
It fascinates me to look forward to utilize the power of social media in making a difference in the lives of Antiquenos. Through social media marketing and advocacy campaign, we could influence governance policy and public perception on chartering new destiny for a new Antique. As our guiding motto in #BangonAntique says, “crafting new dreams and hopes for a new Antique”, I hope that through this program I could be an instrument of change and contribute positive impact in the life of my beloved Antique.
