Linguistic Communication (Pronunciation, Grammar and Accent)
- He was never born and raised abroad but he speaks with an internationally-understandable and acceptable neutral accent about which he trains his learners on in his Accent Neutralization, Local Accent Reduction, Grammar and Delivery training programs.
- He is the perfect walking example of a person who only went to Philippine-based schools but was able to adopt the neutral accent, the almost-impeccable grammar, and the close-to-perfect pronunciation in just a little over 5 years from when he was around 22 years old by just self-studying and by observing native English speakers, Americans and Canadians in particular, over the phone, on the radio, on TV and even in actual face-to-face conversations.

Majority, if not all, of his previous trainees have testified to how their English has improved since being trained by him.

His recognitions and certifications speak volumes about not only his penchant for customer service but also his selfless dedication and provision of a high level of importance to going above and beyond the call of duty especially in the service business.
- Being an actively-observant and concerned citizen who has a long list of experiences with being a customer and providing customer service himself, he knows the areas of opportunities that all professionals who provide customer service should rectify and improve on and those are the same principles that he shares during his training programs and speeches.

- Despite supervising around 16 different school-based, national and international-level university, politically-inclined, and socio-civic organizations inside and outside of Polytechnic University of the Philippines, he was still able to graduate as a Class 2006 Cum Laude with a Bachelor in Business Teacher Education degree and as one of the best students of the school.
- He was a National Galing Pilipino Young Leader (A.Y. 2004-2005), National Ayala Young Leader Nominee (A.Y. 2004-2005), National Ten Outstanding Students of the Philippines Nominee (A.Y. 2005-2006), and a Recipient of a Plaque of Appreciation for being an Outstanding Young Alumnus of Juan Sumulong Memorial Junior College in Taytay, Rizal, Philippines.
- While studying in college with all of his several simultaneous affiliations as a student leader and his Cum Laude-bound focus on academic excellence, he was able to get promoted as an Assistant Supervisor in a matter of weeks during his short stint as a Network Marketer for Forever Living Products Philippines, one of the country’s top MLM companies at that time.
- From 2008 to early 2013, he had proved himself as one of the country’s top in-house corporate trainers and training generalists educating, inspiring, motivating and empowering different people from across the BPO verticals.

- His almost 2 years working for Operations in the Call Center industry has given him the opportunity to polish his pronunciation, grammar and accent.
- His over 5 years as a seasoned and competent language and corporate trainer for a training/consultancy firm and a leading transnational contact center company not only bestowed on him the knowledge and the skills to become an excellent training specialist and public speaker but essentially the personality and the character to win his audiences’ heart and communicate with them effectively as well.
