“Before I was just a floating seed, nowhere to go, no place to grow…..”

Pamulaan is more than a center. It’s a home where mutual understanding, respect, and sharing of diverse cultures strengthen one another. It is a place where I found the fulfillment of my unspoken dreams, where I started to make my own simple yet meaningful aspirations for other people. It is a seedbed that nurtures me to go back to my own roots and be proud of my own cultural identity. It taught me the values of integrity, self- discipline, and love for land and service.


Indeed Pamulaan has made me a full-grown seed. It has awakened my mission in life, for me to make a difference in the lives of many, by helping others without expecting any return. Also, it instilled in me the realization that the true essence of life depends not “on what others can give, but on what you can give for others.” Lastly, it inculcated in me unfading inspirations that make me want to become a good leader and a responsible member of my tribe, community, and country.


I will leave Pamulaan full of spirit and courage for it has given me a never ending and unfathomable hope.
