In addition to my academic and professional qualifications, I am fluent in both English and Filipino, and I have a good understanding of the local culture and customs in Iligan City. Growing up in a multi-cultural environment has taught me the value of diversity and has enabled me to communicate effectively with people from different backgrounds.
