Blog

Welcome to my development musings. Allow me to take you on a journey of hope and inspiration. Through this blog I will share personal insights, ideas and stories to anyone who cares to listen. I will write to inspire and spark dialogue on development issues that impact on the lives of the poor and marginalized. I will talk about what I am passionate about and with my words I hope to open minds about some harsh realities. I will give a voice to the voiceless, hope to those who need it and I will propose solutions to some development problems. With every letter written, a prayer for a better life for all. Join me and together let’s change the future.

My development journey started more than 30 years ago at the University of the Philippines Los Banos, as a student of Development Communication. After graduation, I spent the next 25 years working for development, particularly in international program management and capacity strengthening.

Over the last two decades, I had the privilege to meet a lot of inspiring people, and I learned a lot about organizations and communities. I want to tell you about them, to share their stories, so that you too may be inspired. Because inspiration breeds action, and action leads to positive change, that result in genuine social impact.

So, please follow my development musings and join the conversations. If you are ready, then click the links below:
