Where Media, Energy, & Culture Intersect

Welcome to my digital hub. I’m an interdisciplinary professional with a deep passion for Media Studies, Education, Energy, and Social Transformation. I combine decades of experience in engineering, government service, academia, and journalism to explore solutions for today’s most pressing issues.

** Strategic Business Economics Program (SBEP) alumnus of Univ. of Asia & the Pacific
** Award-winning writer (Manila Rotary Club’s Gawad Kalinangan Journalism Awards 2001)

My work has ranged from leading energy computer modeling projects for Malampaya-Camago oil & gas fields to training the next batch of communicators in Media Literacy, Film Theory & Criticism, and Disaster Risk Reporting. I bring the analytical mind of an engineer, the strategic thinking of an economist, and the heart of a writer and mentor.
