Interests

Besides games, I am passionate about fitness. I'm a freestyle jump roper and also go to the gym regularly.When I'm not working out, I'm usually home spending time with my husband and cat, or out having good coffee or brunch somewhere.In the 2022 Philippine elections I was a Team Leni Robredo volunteer and am proud to have been part of the #kakampink movement fighting for good governance.^{CoreX photo by Ruel Tafalla}
