"My mission is to drive meaningful changes by bringing their stories to the forefront and fostering understanding of them by informing the general public."

Justin is a boy from Quezon City, Philippines.

He is eager to achieve his dream of becoming a broadcast journalist one day. As a journalist, Justin wants to be an instrument of creating positive change towards a better Philippines and ultimately transforming the lives of the Filipino people especially those in underprivileged communities.

Mindfully, Justin prioritizes watching documentaries or Filipino movies, catching up with the latest music trends, and reading news articles online during his free time.

And aligned with his passion for humanities and social sciences, Justin’s favorite subjects include World Religion and Belief System and Philippine Politics and Governance. For him, these subjects help him keep an open mind.

His father has no work while his mother earns through their sari-sari (retail) store.

In Grade 11, Justin received a High Honors award among 1,519 students in their high school.
