As Program Manager of Public Health Surveillance of the City Epidemiology, Statistics, Disaster and Response Unit (CESDRU), he captures data on the ground so that the Antipolo City Government can undertake health programs and policies that are evidence-based. In the process, his work becomes a learning opportunity as he meets people from different walks of life.
