A Fisheries Technologist by profession and currently working as Senior Manager of an international non-profit organization dedicated to conserving coastal ecosystems and initiating innovations to support marine biodiversity conservation. I empower coastal communities in the Philippines and the globe to become resilient against the threats of life cycle shocks, crises, and climate change risks through working closely and co-developing solutions to sustain livelihood and provide better alternatives.As a community development specialist for almost a decade and have worked in different countries in Asia, Latin America, and the Pacific, the insights from all these experiences have inspired the launching of Jasconius Technologies, Inc. which I co-founded. One of its initiatives is https://www.tindagat.ph/ - a fisher-to-institution fair market that supports local fishing communities by providing them a digital platform to sell their seafood goods to consumers.As an advocate for establishing sustainable coastal communities, I like to focus my energy on incorporating climate knowledge, resource management, and fisheries development programs to help communities that depend on catching through responsible fisheries to strengthen the capacity of fishers particularly in defending their fishing rights, protecting their livelihood, and empowering the fishing communities through social inclusion and building their capabilities.
