00:00I was given the opportunity to handle a variety of cases, including civil litigation and family

00:13law.

00:14What stood out for me in my years of being a lawyer was when I represented a client with

00:20a complex custody case.

00:22I had limited resources and my client is understandably frustrated.

00:28Did you win the case?

00:29I did, fortunately.

00:31Well, you've been in a private practice.

00:35Why the sudden interest in becoming a lawyer?

00:37Believe it or not, attorney, I've always been passionate about public service.

00:42I want to make a difference where it matters most.

00:45Ilang beses ko na naririnig ang mga kwentong ganyan.

00:49I do not want to invalidate your experience, but do you feel that just being in a private

00:56practice would qualify you for public service?

00:59Aaminin ko po, attorney.

01:01Nung nakapagtapos po ako ng abogasya at nakapagtap sa bar, it was all about my name and my pride.

01:11Pero nung na-detain po ako at nakasalamuha po po yung mga taong totoong pinagkaitan ng

01:17katarungan, nagkaroon po ng mas malalim na kahulugan yung profession ko para sa akin.

01:23Do you mean to tell me that just because you suffered in jail, makaparalik ka na sa lahat

01:28ng mga kuyente mo?

01:30My experience of being wrongfully accused taught me firsthand that our justice system

01:35can sometimes fail people.

01:38I want to be an advocate for policy changes that can improve the system for those who

01:44are marginalized.

01:46Ambitious.

01:47Very ambitious.
