Some years ago, I started a blog website, with a similar name to this one, called "IngatPinas", hoping to start documenting my journey as a Philippine culture and heritage advocate. But years went on and I wasn't able to maintain said blog and volunteer activities that support my advocacy became sort of inaccessible for me.

I got mad at myself because to me I wasn't doing enough for my country and I felt like I am being left behind with my "lack of action". On top of that, the pandemic happened and I wasn't able to go out and physically do anything to help my countrymen. Although I tried to contribute through small donations whenever I can, the desire to "be there" to help was stronger.

Searching for more things to do for my country, I started realizing that there are more problems that I wanted to help solve other than the preservation of our culture.
I didn't know what came over me, but I started deleting the traces of my old IngatPinas blog website and any of its previous social media posts. I just know I wanted to participate in helping my country and I wanted to start by documenting the problems that I have encountered and count the steps that can help hopefully solve them.

For now this blog is empty and I'm hoping it will one day be filled with the things that helped or will help my country be the best place there is.
