I'm an instructor at the University of Asia and the Pacific. I have a BA and MA in Humanities from the same university. I'm currently taking an MA in Philosophy at the University of the Philippines. My research focuses on personalist philosophy, philosophical anthropology, the humanities as an area of study, and the foundations and history of the liberal arts.
