I am Anton, born and raised in the Philippines. I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree, majoring in Development Studies from Ateneo de Manila University, with the goal of finding concrete solutions to help elevate my home country. I hope to study the history and institutions that led to various problems that plague the Philippines, comparing this with other postcolonial and Global South countries, and ideally finding creative solutions to these pressing issues. I hope to one day work in the international development sector and also be an entrepreneur in the field of sustainability and climate.
