About me

I am a writer, blogger, and developer of sites and apps based in Cebu, Philippines.

I am a long-time journalist. I have reported and edited for The Freeman, Today (a now-defunct national publication), The Independent Post (Cebu’s first broadsheet and coop-owned paper), Sun.Star Cebu, Cebu Daily News, CDN Digital, Philstar Life, and Rappler.

For 16 years, I was the business editor, online editor, and technology columnist of Sun.Star Cebu.

In 2007, I won the Best Technology Blog award of the first-ever Philippine Blog Awards (PBA) for this blog. In 2011, I won Best Sports Blog in the PBA for CebuRunning (now defunct), a running website.

I am co-founder of the new media start-up InnoPub Media, the company behind the Digital Tourism project with Smart Communications.

I was born in Polomolok, South Cotabato, where I spent the first 16 years of my life.
