Full statement, as published

Reproduced exactly as it appears on the City of North Vancouver website, retrieved September 28, 2026. Neither the municipality nor this site has verified its accuracy.

I am a proud indigenous of the Cordillera Autonomous Region of the Philippines, born and raised in Kalinga province. I graduated Bachelor of Arts Major in Philosophy at University of Santo Tomas and undergraduate of Law at San Beda University. We migrated in 1991.

My passion on social justice and human rights have urged me to pursue Criminology in Douglas College but being new to Canada and a working student has a toll on me. I worked and earned 22 years experience in payroll, staffing and human resources in unionized setting.

My commitment to you:

Help me get the vote and I will be your positive voice and force to be reckoned with on the school board table. Your trust in my commitment and our children are my priority.
