Juan Percent Better by Engr. Pam

Sometimes growth isn't about learning something new, it’s about unlearning what no longer serves us. As we grow, our beliefs, habits, and even our identity need to evolve too. You can't become a better version of yourself while holding on to the version you're supposed to outgrow.

01/08/2026

Disclaimer: You might not agree with this, and that's perfectly okay. This is simply my perspective based on what I've observed and experienced.

2000s: "Feeling ko nahuhuli na ako sa buhay."

1990s: "Ako rin... feeling ko hinahabol na ako ng oras." 😅

Magkaiba man ang generation, pareho pa rin tayong nakakaramdam ng pressure.

Minsan dahil sa social media. Minsan dahil sa achievements ng mga kaibigan natin. Minsan dahil sa sarili nating expectations.

Pero nga sabi nila, "Comparison is the thief of joy."

Kapag ang sukatan natin ay ang buhay ng ibang tao, laging may mas maaga, mas mabilis, o mas malayo ang narating. At doon nagsisimula ang pagkawala ng appreciation sa sarili nating progress.

Instead of asking, "Bakit mas nauna siya?" maybe ask, "Mas naging mabuti ba ako kaysa sa dati kong sarili?"

COMPARE YOURSELF WITH WHO YOU WERE YESTERDAY,
NOT WITH WHO SOMEONE ELSE IS TODAY.

Iba-iba ang starting point, opportunities, responsibilities, at timing ng bawat isa. Hindi pare-pareho ang timeline natin, kaya hindi rin pareho ang finish line.

Whether you're from the 2000s or the 1990s, keep moving at your own pace.

The goal isn't to be ahead of everyone else—the goal is to become a better version of yourself than you were yesterday. 🌱

Some days, leadership feels heavier than usual.

I've tried asking for help, but I can't shake the guilt of giving others tasks that were never supposed to be theirs. So I carry what I can, even as my responsibilities continue to grow without additional pay or recognition.

I still believe in giving my best and creating value for the team. That's what keeps me going.

But I'd be lying if I said I don't sometimes wonder...

How long do I keep carrying more before I find an opportunity where my growth, contributions, and leadership are truly valued?

Until that day comes, I'll keep learning, growing, and doing my best—because the kind of leader I choose to be isn't defined by my circumstances.

Feeling incredibly grateful and humbled to be recognized during our Mid-Year Assembly.

To my clients, mentors, teammates, family, and friends. Thank you for your trust, support, and encouragement. This milestone wouldn't have been possible without you.

This is only the beginning. Here's to serving more families, helping more people achieve financial security, and reaching even greater milestones in the second half of 2026.

Two weekends. Two finish lines. One unforgettable Pride Month. 🏃‍♂️🌈

Grateful to have completed two 5K fun runs this June:
🏅 Runrio Pride Run 2026 – June 21, 2026
🏅 Pride Stride Run 2026 – June 28, 2026

These medals are more than race souvenirs. They represent showing up, celebrating diversity, supporting the community, and choosing progress one step at a time.

Here's to more miles, more meaningful causes, and more finish lines ahead. Happy Pride! 🌈

Today, I had the privilege of volunteering with In Touch Community Services at the Pride PH Festival 2026, where I helped man Booth #133 from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

It was a meaningful afternoon meeting people from all walks of life and helping create a safe space for reflection, encouragement, and connection.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth, shared messages of hope and affirmation, explored our Emotions Jar and Comfort Cards, or simply said hello. Your openness and kindness made today truly special.

Happy Pride! 🌈 May we continue building communities where everyone feels seen, heard, and supported.
