is a Filipino philosopher, educator, and theorist whose work sits at the intersection of human nature, ethics, and societal structures. A metamodernist and psychophilosopher with esoteric leanings, he writes and teaches across philosophical, psychological, and pedagogical registers—publishing essays and theory while composing reflective and creative work.
His essay “The Becoming of A Teacher-Philosopher” appeared in Diskurso (Issue 11, December 2024; ISSN 3082-379X); he presented P.A.S.T. (Psycho-philo-pedagogical Agency through Symbols and Transformations) at the International Conference on Philosophy of Education and Values Education (2024) and delivered “Psychophilosophy: A Recursive Praxis” at The Grammar of Time: Ontologies and Practices in Cross-Cultural Perspective (University of Latvia). His paper “Transcendentally Humanist Posthumanism” was accepted for presentation at the Philosophical Association of the Philippines (PAP) 2025 Midyear Conference.
His recent work, “Ang Mundo Mula sa Sugat: Pagtiklop, Pag-ugat, Pag-usbong; Isang Dialektika ng Pag-iral sa Gitna ng Pagkawasak at Paghuhubog,” has likewise been accepted for presentation at the Ikatlong Pambansang Kumperensiya sa Pilosopiyang Pilipino, under Metapisika at Pilosopiyang Pilipino was presented on 27 February 2026. He was also accepted for oral presentation at the Philosophical Association of the Visayas and Mindanao (PHAVISMINDA) International Conference (May 29–31, 2026); the same paper was likewise accepted by the Philippine Queer Studies Conference 2026.
As Chief Archon (President) of the Philosophical Society of PNU-Manila (2024–2026), he also served on the FBeSS (Faculty of Behavioral and Social Sciences) Executive Committee, first as Programs Committee Chairperson and then as Marketing Committee Chairperson, contributing to the development of inclusive philosophical spaces across the FBeSS community. In recognition of his contributions, he received multiple honors from the FBeSS Gawad Sanghaya, including Gawad Sandigan (Leadership), Gawad Pagdaton (Service), Gawad Sigya (Inspiration), and Gawad Siyasig (Publication).
*His ongoing theoretical projects move in deliberately opposing directions: P.A.S.T. Theory—a psychophilosophical intervention aimed at engaging Western conceptual lineages—and Teoryang KUGMAT—a psychophilosophical Filipino ontology derived from Ang Mundo Mula sa Sugat that centers locally grounded metaphysics and ethics. Currently active in conferences and academic networking, and transitioning from Philippine Normal University–Manila, he has paused formal study while reassessing transfer plans and exploring other academic and professional opportunities across the horizon. He continues to collect material for future speculative work on transhumanism and post-anthropocentric ontologies.
