Photographer: Jasmine Abelardo

I'm Jasmine Abelardo, a 22-year old Bulakeña. I was born in the city of San Jose del Monte, Bulacan-Philippines. I am currently studying as a Broadcast Communication student at Polytechnic University of the Philippines. I am also the youngest child in my family. I have two older sisters. My mother is a sales clerk and my dad is a wallpaper installer. My hobbies include was watching movies, reading, writing, anything about art and traveling. Although I don’t get to travel much, I relish every moment I get to. I love going to historical places or any place that feels like I’m so close to the nature. It makes me feel alive. I’m always looking for ways to develop my skills and learn new things not just in school but outside the school environment. I have every intention to make the world a better place. I pride myself as a motivational person, so I write poems or give advice for people to inspire them when they are down or don’t know what else to do. As a Christian, I consider that every soul is precious like how the Lord sees it. I know that I am living for a purpose and I am breathing to share love, happiness and hope to many people.
