Training Is My Life


Training and Human Development.... my interest since college.

Being one of the youth leaders in our campus, I was sent by our Student Affairs to participate in various student training, conferences and congress in places I never thought I can visit that time. This developed my interest in Human Development...



Training and Human Development.... volunteer work

This interest drove me to volunteer in different organizations assisting in training/ conference / camp administration and/or facilitation. I also engaged in church outreach work-- organizing and conducting bible studies.

Training and Human Development.... income generation

My first work is with a large Christian church assisting the Under-shepherd in various church programs. From youth to family centered development programs.

My second work is with the leading Skin Clinic and Manufacturer of beauty products as Training Officer. I managed the Training Institute as well as developed programs for the manufacturing and the service group.

My present work is with a company engaged in various business operations-- one of the best and in the top 20 corporations of Asia. I started in Training but promoted to handle the overall functions of Human Resources Management of one of its business units.

Training and Human Development... still my source of joy and satisfaction

Though most of the time, I am locked in administrative work-- compensation admin., manpower planning, employee discipline... I find time for my first love... CONCEPTUALIZE AND FACILITATE TRAINING PROGRAMS. This has been a source of satisfaction in the midst of stress and boring admin. works.

My interest in training led me to connect to groups engage in similar activities... I offered my services for free-- I took this as an opportunity to learn from the gurus and sharpen my skills in the process. But God is good, the same interest that cost me time and money several years ago is now a source of income. I used to spend money to have fun, but now I earn money while having fun. And in God's mercy, I believe I'll be able to complete what God placed in my heart to build people's career thru training and sharing of life principles. This is my calling and purpose in life.

Training and Human Development... My Interest, My Life, My Calling... What Is Yours?
