Teaching
Teaching is a passion of mine and one of the reasons why I've decided to come back to the Philippines is the opportunity to teach advanced physics to aspiring young Filipino physicists. Although the financial incentives of teaching is miniscule, especially here in the Philippines, teaching is a very rewarding and enjoyable profession once you get to experience that spark of comprehension from your students. Furthermore, I believe that in order for the Philippines to progress faster and further, it needs a lot of scientifically-literate and scientifically-minded citizens and less of the pseudo-science and mystical beliefs.
