I am a survivor from the Philippines, keen to spread awareness about meningitis.

I was diagnosed with meningitis when I was two years old, but luckily I survived with no after-effects and finished my studies as an Electronics Engineer.

Today, I work in a telecommunications company here in the Philippines as a Project Auditor. I want to spread awareness about meningitis, as I don’t want to see people die when there are vaccines available to prevent some strains of the disease.
