What is your favorite part of being with Manila House’s concierge team? This job goes beyond looking presentable and having a pleasing personality; it also entails building a connection with Members and contributing to their experience of coming to the Club. Being the inquisitive and affable person that I am, I don’t shy away from initiating a conversation. It could be as basic as complimenting a member on his Jordan sneakers, or engaging in intellectual banter with a news anchor. I truly live for moments where genuine connection was established. What was your dream job growing up, and how does it relate to what you’re doing now? I remember all I ever wanted was to be a doctor, for a brief moment I thought of becoming a veterinarian. Honestly I can hardly recall what happened, why I ended up taking HRM. Perhaps it was the influence of my relatives working in cruise ships and hotels. Who are your strongest influences in life, both personally and professionally? I’m the only child and most of my formative years I was attached to my mother probably because she was more of the commander in our family, while my father shows his authority in a subtle manner. Professionally, I have a slew of influences, mainly from business, fashion, music, politics, and pop culture. Lately I have been obsessing over news and current affairs and through my job I have had the honor to meet some of the best news personalities in the industry, people I grew up watching and aspired to be like. How do you maintain a positive outlook amidst the pandemic? Much of my optimism comes from praying more often. It brings me into a better headspace. When you are guided by God, everything else will follow.
