Intentional fatherhood as curation

Everyone admires how you are. You're such a happy kid, so smart. And all of that is on purpose—it comes from the way I think about everything and what I want to expose you to.

Right now you're a sponge. So I keep asking the same questions: what values can I transfer, what principles, what's in your environment? That's my focus—what will make you the best possible human being I can turn you into.

You're half of me, and there isn't much family around to hand you the Filipino side. So I keep that alive on purpose too—learning the language well enough to teach you, keeping the culture breathing. None of it is an accident.
