User:Alternativity is a Filipino writer, businessman, and academic whose particular interests focus on the complex relationships between Narratives (Information, Education, Communication and Art); Personal and Collective Identity; and the ongoing development process.
He began his career as a Univeristy Instructor (and later Assistant Professor) of Development Communication at the University of the Philippines, Los Baños. He then took some time after that to run an independent specialty coffeeshop/reading room/advocacy space in his hometown, and to do some writing. Later, he went back to life in the capital, and took on a number of different roles in the development advocacy sector.
He likes to spend his spare time working on a series of short novels set in 8th century Laguna, Philippines - the main motivation that got him into doing wikipedia research in the first place.
He received his Bachelor's Degree in Development Communication in 2000, focusing on Business and Environment Journalism. Upon graduating, he was awarded the Higino A. Ables Award for Best Undergraduate Research. In 2005, he received his Master's Degree in the same field, this time taking a minor in Information Science. His Master's Thesis focused on the health-related knowledge processes and flows in a Tagalog coastal village.
In April 2018, he [[1]] accepted a three-month post]] as Wikipedian in Residence at the Bantayog ng mga Bayani[2], where he will be serving from April to June, 2018. (Further details will be posted on Wikimedia outreach, and in a section to be added on this Talk page below. Talk page and MainSpace Edits related to the project start on 5 April 2018.)
