I started blogging in 2018, stepped away for a while, and decided to return to it regularly beginning February 2026.
This blog is not just about law. It is my space to breathe, to think, and to speak in my own voice. It is where I reflect on what I see, what I experience, and what moves me.
Sometimes I write about legal issues and try to explain them in ways that make sense to ordinary people. Other times I write about justice, migration, politics, faith, community, or the quiet struggles and small victories that shape our lives. Not everything fits neatly into a legal argument, and not everything should.
This space allows me to bring together my work, my advocacy, and my personal journey. I write not only as a paralegal, but as a migrant, a community advocate, and someone who believes that stories matter.
I am a licensed paralegal practicing in immigration, refugee, employment, and human rights law. My journey began at The Sisters of Mary School, a tuition-free school for children from economically disadvantaged families, where I completed my secondary education. I went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Accountancy from Philippine Christian University and later completed my Paralegal Diploma with honours at triOS College.
For over two decades, I have worked in immigration practice, representing clients in refugee claims and proceedings before the Immigration Division and the Immigration Appeal Division, as well as in workplace harassment, wrongful dismissal, and discrimination matters. My work is grounded not only in legal training but also in lived commitment to fairness and access to justice.
Beyond my legal practice, I am actively involved in migrant and refugee rights advocacy through Migrante Canada, Migrant Resource Centre Canada, and the Canadian Council for Refugees. Advocacy and law, for me, are not separate paths. They are part of the same commitment: standing with migrants and refugees as they navigate complex systems and fight for dignity, safety, and opportunity.
