About Me

JAlfred hides in the shadow of his online alter ego John Galt (the mindful objectivist hero of philosopher+novelist+writer Ayn Rand’s most powerful book, Atlas Shrugged). He hides, because he has been very afraid  to let the world know that he is living his dream and that he has found love and is happy; he hides, because he has been selfish to illuminate and share his light to the world. He hides because he is a nobody.

But it is inevitable. Inevitable that even a glimmer of the light that he posses will leak through the crevices of his long-been closed door. No matter how much his effort of locking-in his mind and its thoughts, it struggles and is slowly succeeding in bringing itself forward.

JAlfred is the creative fountainhead of Linkage, a compact and progressive Communication Design, Public Relations and Events Management group in Quezon City, Philippines. He is a writer, graphics designer, conceptual digital artist and a strategic creative. His works, through Linkage, has helped launched some of the best brands of Philippine real estate giant, Filinvest Land as well as re-energized the marketing for top Philippine pre-need company, Cocoplans. He has also successfully handled the print media relations of one of the country’s top restaurant groups, the Chateau 1771 Group of Restaurants. Now, with Linkage, he continues to give passionate work and is continually growing creatively and strategically.

Even as a student, JAlfred’s written works has already been published in major national newspapers like The Manila Times and The Manila Bulletin and has been a contributing writer for ABS-CBN Publishing’s Chalk Magazine.

His conceptual digital art works and distinct style has earned him various awards and citations in prominent online art communities such DeviantArt and RedBubble. One of his works was also published as part of the coffee table art book, Gaia: The Living Planet, containing some of the most compelling art pieces made by varied artists from all over the world.

JAlfred is a speaker and an orator. It is because of his father that he has learned about the magnitude of his mind and the power of his thinking but it is through his mother that he learned how to gracefully utilize it. His father taught him to speak his mind and make a stand but it is his mother who taught him how to articulate them.

He has read his first book at the age of eight, his first philosophically themed book (the first of many) at the age of eleven and has written his first poem at the age of ten.

He is inspired by watching the dark comedies of Pedro Almodovar, listening to the powerful chest voice of Whitney-Houston-past, reading the lyrical genius of Pablo Neruda, learning from the books of Ayn Rand, dreaming about Anne Rice’s vampires, getting all animated over Paula Cole and Alanis Morisette’s music and spending quality hours with his favorite Latte and Frappucino at his favorite Starbucks. He is in love with theatre and is in awe with the ethereal voice, discipline and the intensity of Lea Salonga.

JAlfred is an owl and only feels sleepy when the clock hits 3am; the cause of his hair and facial hair to grow three times as fast as a normal person. He likes hot pandesal, butter, guava jelly and eggs for breakfast and still thinks that the best beef steak is the one home cooked by his mom.
