The compelling force behind my Air Force journey is just one out of the many narratives that discusses one’s humble beginnings, assignment and positions held, brief discussion of notable accomplishments, and values learned. My path to serving the Air Force began as a child who dreamt of becoming a military pilot. Growing up, my parents have always emphasized the importance of education as a ticket to a better life. So when I was a student, I was so determined to finish my studies; however, in 2007, an incident happened that sorely tested my faith and weakened my determination to finish my studies. The situation had urged me to join the profession of arms but my parents did not approve of my hasty decision; instead, they used the undesirable situation to motivate me to pursue my desire of entering the military service either as an enlisted personnel or an officer right after college graduation.
Driven on becoming an Air Force officer, I embarked on a year and three months enduring academic pressure, physical demands, and social isolation. Luckily, my hard work and faith had paid off when I was commissioned into the regular force as a member of PAFROPP Mabalasik Class of 2011. However, my dream of joining the military pilot corps took a nose dive due to medical reasons. Fast forward, I started my military service as a naïve lieutenant holding sensitive posts in the different squadrons of the then 300th AISG. As the Executive Officer of the 301st AISS and 302nd AISS, I take pride in my accomplishments where I was part of the intelligence team that performed intelligence missions focusing on the apprehension of wanted criminals in Batangas area and conducted large scale Marijuana eradication. In 2014, as the Operations Officer of 304th AISS, I was also part of the group that seized bombing paraphernalia and identified Abu Sayyaf supporters in Basilan. In the same year, I took a more challenging task as the Officer-in-Charge of 305th AISS where my team was involved in releasing a kidnapped victim in Marawi and in conducting several case build-up on CPP-NPA Terrorist personalities. My career went to new heights when I was transferred to 520th Air Base Wing. During my stint as Chief, WOC, I managed and supervised the Wing’s daily operations as well as all Command activities in CJVAB. As Training Officer, I took part in programming and conducting appropriate training needed by the personnel in accomplishing the Wing’s mission. In order to maintain discipline, law and order within 520th ABW, I investigated erring personnel as the Wing’s Provost Marshal. And as the Doctrines Officer, I was tasked to formulate and update the doctrines to ensure that they remain relevant to the present set up and needs of the Unit. Little did I know that these experiences have prepared me so well as I take on a new role at the Tactical Operations Group 2 (TOG 2). As the Group’s Deputy Commander, I make immediate decisions on various matters in the absence of my Commander. As the Director for Operations, I plan, manage, and supervise the daily air and ground operations of the TOG 2. Also, as the Director for Intelligence, I provide threat situation to organic and OPCON personnel of the Unit. All of these efforts and accomplishments have been critical in supporting military operations and civilian decision-making.
Having shared the highlights of my Air Force journey, there’s nothing more rewarding than knowing that the values of professionalism has played a huge part in growing maturely in the service. In a nutshell, my journey can be best attributed to my faith and hard work.
