Hi. My name is David. I am the webmaster for Canada Pinoys.
I am a Filipino-Canadian. I was born in Manila. I went to school and worked for the first part of my career in the Philippines. I migrated to Canada in 2001, together with my wife and 3 children.
I've had an opportunity to travel to many countries including the USA, France, Switzerland, Japan and a number of asian countries prior to moving to Canada. Traveling to other countries allowed me to experience other cultures, and helped me adjust to Canada. However, uprooting my family to move and live in another country was a different experience altogether.
I took on this effort to become the webmaster for Canada Pinoys because I believe I can help fellow Filipinos prepare for a smoother transition into Canada. My family has lived through the challenges of starting from scratch in a foreign country. Many friends and relatives who we first met or did not know lived in Canada helped us tremendously during our first year. I am grateful for the help we received, and I would like to do the same.
