This Saturday, Oct 3, UCLA Pilipino Alumni Association (PAA) is honoring me with their Distinguished Alumni Award.
I’m humbled.
Before I was an attorney, I was a student activist at UCLA with Samahang Pilipino. I learned that fighting for community and social justice isn’t optional — it’s who we are. We learned to organize, to protest, to not back down when it was uncomfortable. Activism isn't a phase you outgrow. It's a practice you carry.
From campus to courtroom, I still march. I still protest. Now for my clients, and still for justice, fairness, and equity.
I hope to see many of you Saturday. Old friends, new friends. Let's celebrate.

Maraming salamat, PAA.
