Bio

I am an Assistant Professor of History at the University of the Philippines Diliman. I obtained my Ph.D. in History from the  same university.  I have an MA in Historia Contemporanea (Contemporary History) from the Universidad de Navarra (Spain) and AB Humanities from the University of Asia and the Pacific (Philippines) where I taught undergraduate History courses from 2010-2023.

In 2023, I moved to UP Department of History. My current research project is on land ownership in the Philippines in the 17th century. Cases of land transfers and disputes give me a glimpse of the development of colonial society in the Spanish era. They also provide clues to social and economic mobility.
