What does diversity mean to you?


Diversity to me is understanding and appreciating an individual's all walks in life. 

 

What would you like other people to know about your heritage?


My birthplace Cebu City, it's the oldest city in the Philippines and known as "Asia's Cradle of Christianity". 

 

This year’s theme is ‘everyone belongs’, what does that mean to you?


Every individual has it's purpose and is unique, they don't just exist for no reason. Thus, giving a hand and supporting one another is a key factor to fulfill their purpose regardless of ethnicity, education, culture, education, etc. Along with these, it can lead to a harmonious environment.
