Born in the Philippines, I had my 10th bday in Chicago & my 13th bday in the SF Bay Area (w/c is still home). I am father to 3 wonderful children, to whom I would love to pass on the Filipino culture & traditions. In a previous life, I was an IT Product Manager for a Fortune 500 company in San Francisco. I managed all software & computer security on the corporation's enterprise servers. Today, I work out of my home as an IT Consultant & a photographer. I got pinoybuilt.com in 2011 initially to sell FILIPINO STRENGTH tshirts. Now I maintain the site to promote FILIPINO CULTURE, IDENTITY & UNITY. If you like to write, or just share pix, I'd like to invite you to join us. Facebook/Instagram already has made billions from your content. Pls consider adding a Filipinx layer to your social media activity. As with Fb, YouTube, etc, this website works off ads. Pls whitelist pinoybuilt.com if you have an Ad blocker. Thank you. Comments are just as important as posts on the site. Pls leave a word or two in the comment box. Let's build the #1 Filipinx site in CA. USA? Online? Let's do it! | THERE CAN BE NO TYRANTS WHERE THERE ARE NO SLAVES. JOSE RIZAL
