Inspiring Filipinos

I’m Jef Menguin, your friendly neighborhood speaker, trainer, and writer. Welcome to our corner of the internet, where positivity and inspiration live and breathe in every story we share.

You see, I’m a firm believer that within each one of us is a spark, a potential to achieve greatness and bring out the best in ourselves and others.

That’s the mission I live by every day and the reason I’ve created this page.

So, why “Inspiring Filipinos?” I hear you ask. Well, our beautiful archipelago is brimming with stories of perseverance, grit, and extraordinary feats, and it’s about time we brought them into the spotlight.

Our purpose here is three-fold.

Firstly, we want to motivate and inspire you, our fellow Filipinos. We’ll share stories of those who have gone before us and have shown the world what Filipinos are truly made of – courage, determination, and a heart full of love for our country.

Secondly, I’ll bring you personal conversations with some of my friends, many of whom I deeply admire. We’ll dive into what inspires them as Filipinos, their hopes, their dreams, and how they navigate the path toward their goals.

Lastly, we’ll share narratives of inspiring Filipinos, both well-known and those hidden gems whose tales are yet untold. We want to celebrate the extraordinary in the every day, the heroes in the mundane, and the Filipino spirit that shines through even in the toughest of times.

And why am I doing this?

Because I’m passionate about the power of positivity and the ripple effect of inspiration.

My dream is to empower you to find your own spark, your own inspiring story, and to remind you that no matter how tough the journey might be, you are not alone.

So, let’s embark on this journey together. Here’s to inspiring and being inspired! Welcome to our “Inspiring Filipinos” page.

Celebrate Everyday Heroes

Everyday heroes are everywhere. But they are seldom recognized because they are still alive. Do we have to die to become a hero? I don’t think so.

Filipino values are cultural beliefs and assumptions about what is socially desirable, and therefore, there are expectations on how one must behave in certain situations. Filipino values are inherently positive, however, some values like utang na loob and pakikisama are often abused.
