Working from home as a freelancer has been one of the biggest blessings in my life, not just because of the work itself, but because it allows me to be closer to the people who matter most, my family.

The truth is, compensation and salary will always be important, but for me, they come second. What truly drives me is the chance to witness the little moments: unlimited hugs, playtime with our little Dadai, and being present, not just providing.

I pray that the Lord continues to give me strength and wisdom to be more efficient in what I do so I can be the best version of myself for them. I also pray for good health and protection over my family every single day. I share this prayer with you.

To all the amazing dads out there, especially those who are quietly carrying the weight of their family's future on their shoulders, you’re doing better than you think.

May we all find the motivation to keep going, to keep showing up, and to keep loving fiercely for the sake of our families. 🙏

Feeling Like You Don't Deserve Everything That's Been Given To You? That's

Ever started a new job, got promoted, or been handed a new project and suddenly felt like you’re not really qualified for it? Na parang nagkamali sila sa pagpili sa'yo?

That creeping voice in your head saying, “What if they find out I don’t really know what I’m doing?” That’s Imposter Syndrome talking.

** It’s surprisingly common among high-achievers, especially:
> Newly hired employees trying to prove their worth
> Recently promoted individuals navigating unfamiliar territory
> Team members given new responsibilities or projects they’ve never done before

** Pero ang totoo niyan:
> You were chosen for a reason.
> You’re allowed to grow into a role.
> Learning is not the same as failing.
> It's a Blessing and you deserve it.

If you’ve ever felt this way, take a breath. You’re not a fraud or fake. You’re just growing. And growth feels uncomfortable at first, but that doesn’t make you any less capable.

ISANG TAON AT KALAHATI NA PALA SIMULA NUNG INIWAN KO ANG CORPORATE JOB KO PARA SA FREELANCING

Halos isang dekada rin akong nagtrabaho sa industriya na sobra kong minahal — to the point na tiniis ko ang mababang sweldo, office politics, at mga pangakong napako. Grabe rin ang pasasalamat ko sa mga naging experience at exposure ko sa kanila, pero sa totoo lang, ang hirap maging parte ng working class sa Pilipinas. Parang ang hirap umasenso, lalo na kung sunod-sunod ang problema sa buhay. Kaya dumating ako sa point na napaisip talaga ako: “Ano pa bang ibang paraan para maging stable ang buhay?”

Dito pumasok ang freelancing.

Laging kadikit ng salitang ‘freelancing’ ang Work from Home setup. Tapos, halos automatic na ang iniisip ng mga tao — VA (Virtual Assistant). Noong una, parang ang hirap pasukin. Kaliwa’t kanan ang mga paid trainings, lahat may pangakong “6-digit income kada buwan” o “Hindi ka matatanggap kung wala kang experience.” Technically, may point naman sila. Pero sa totoo lang, nakakapanlambot din ng loob kasi ang hirap mag-commit, lalo na kung may full-time corporate job ka pa.

Pero darating talaga yung moment na kailangan mong sumugal — dahil gusto mo na ng pagbabago. Ako, gusto kong mas makasama ang pamilya ko, lalo na ang newborn daughter ko. Gusto ko, nandun ako habang lumalaki siya. Isa pa, hindi sapat ang iisang source of income sa dami ng bayarin. Kaya pinasok ko ang freelancing.

Pero hindi ako agad tumalon sa VA role. Ang iniisip ko: “Ito na ba talaga ‘yun? VA din ba ako?” Dahil ang totoo, ang dami nang pumasok sa field na ‘to. Baka oversaturated na, at bumaba na rin ang rates. Kaya nag-research pa ako nang mas maige

Dito ko nadiskubre ang onlinejobs(.)ph. Noong una, hindi ako convinced na legit — lalo na’t may mga scam din na nagkalat. Pero sa dami ng job posts at categories (hindi lang VA — may IT, bookkeeping, admin, etc.), nakita kong may potential talaga. Inaral ko kung paano makipag-usap sa foreign clients, paano gumawa ng maayos na resume, at paano ibenta ang sarili ko sa mga hiring managers.

Pagkatapos ng dalawang buwan, nakuha ko ang una kong client bilang Project Manager para sa isang luxury travel & tours business. That was the turning point. I let go of my corporate job and fully embraced the work-from-home life.

Pero syempre, hindi lahat perfect.

Wala akong HMO, SSS, PhilHealth. Wala ring security — anytime, puwedeng mawala ang client mo. Kahit may kontrata kayo, wala namang enforceable power dito sa Pilipinas dahil nasa ibang bansa sila. At yun nga ang nangyari. Dahil sa restructuring sa company niya, tinanggal ako. Nag-offer pa akong ibaba ang rate ko, pero hindi na raw kaya.

Bumalik ako sa pag-aapply. OnlineJobs, LinkedIn — tinry ko lahat. Hanggang sa may nag-refer sa akin sa isang US-based IT company, at doon ako ngayon nagtratrabaho. Sobrang thankful ako, kasi hindi lahat nabibigyan ng ganitong opportunity.

Ngayon, iba na ang takbo ng freelancing world. Hindi na totoo ang guaranteed 6-digit income sa isang client. Marami na rin ang pumapayag sa sobrang baba ng rates kapalit lang ng experience.

Pero kahit mahirap, hindi pa rin nauubos ang opportunities.

At itong workstation na pinost ko, paalala ito sa akin na may mga kumpanya pa ring nagtitiwala sa kakayahan ng mga Pilipino.

Kung isa ka rin sa gustong magsimula sa freelancing, tandaan mo lang:
Research. Prepare. Take the risk. Trust the process.

Daming stress, daming work, pero sabay kayong naging "thick" ng partner mo. Truly a blessing from the Lord.
