FEATURED POST: Doing extension work since 2013 - 15 years of learning, service, and community partnership. This journey began at Mapúa University – Social Orientation and Community Involvement Program (SOCIP), where I was first shaped as an extensionist. Deeply thankful to Socip, Sir JMQ, Madam Alma Arizala Canlas and my colleagues, Vic, Roy, Tin, Percy, Donna Virtuoso Madonna and Paul, Kuya Sherwin, Ate Liezl Solemnidad, Ate Weng and to our adopted community, Pandacan, Manila, for the foundation, values, and exposure that taught me that service must always be people-centered and purpose-driven. Along the way, there were misunderstandings and disagreements, but I owe so much to Mapúa SOCIP. Those moments became lessons that strengthened me, clarified my purpose, and deepened my understanding of what genuine service means.
From that beginning grew Project 81 - a continuing commitment to grassroots action, inclusion, and empowerment.

Project 81 is a journey of service, discovery, and transformation that reflects my commitment to grassroots development and community engagement. Grateful for every community, every collaborator, and every lesson along the way.
Today, I carry this commitment forward as I continue my extension service at Marinduque State University (MarSU) — bringing with me the lessons, values, and experiences gained through the years.
Still learning. Still serving. Still believing in community transformation.
