Honored to be invited by Children International Bicol Inc. during their Volunteer Club Facilitators Appreciation Day to speak about "The Heart of Volunteerism: Finding Purpose in Serving Others.”
Our conversation explored the difference between simply living a happy life and building a meaningful life —one grounded in purpose, connection, and service beyond oneself.
Through the lens of Filipino Psychology, we reflected on the value of Kapwa—recognizing that the person we serve is not separate from us, but part of our shared humanity.
Volunteerism becomes more meaningful when it is rooted not only in helping others, but in pakikipagkapwa, malasakit, and genuine solidarity.
Because at the heart of service is this truth: when we uplift others, we also discover a deeper sense of who we are and what we are called to do.
