[edit] Profile
I'm a Filipino hardware engineer working in Eastwood, Quezon City. I finished my B.S. Computer Engineering course at the University of the Philippines, Diliman. I live in Las Piñas City, a suburb of Manila, and part of Metro Manila. I also have a weblog, called vaes9. I also run another blog, Vista Pinas, which features Filipino sights as seen from the satellite view of Google Maps (e.g., U.P. Diliman Acad Oval and the Centennial Expo).
[edit] Contributions Summary
Most of my contributions are on topics about the Philippines. See: List of Philippine-related topics, Wikipedia:WikiProject Philippine LGUs, Wikipedia:Tambayan Philippines. My significant contributions include creating articles for all the Provinces of the Philippines
I also enjoy creating maps and graphics. Of all the pictures I've uploaded, 95% are maps and can be found in my Images subpage. Below are the pictures I've contributed that have become Wikipedia's Featured pictures.

[edit] WikiPhilosophy
As a former Wikipedian said on his profile page, we all have our own Wikipedia philosophy. Here are some of mine.
Depth rather than breadth. This is why I will strongly oppose any systemic plan to have each and every barangay in the Philippines have their own articles. It's extremely unproductive to create and maintain articles for barangays "Talaba I, Bacoor, Cavite", "Talaba II, Bacoor, Cavite" all the way to "Talaba VII, Bacoor, Cavite." I'd much rather have a well-written in-depth article on Bacoor, Cavite.
The English Wikipedia is canonical. At least with respect to the other Philippine-language editions Wikipedia. I prefer that the articles in the Tagalog, Cebuano, Kapampangan and other Philippine Wikipedias be simply translated version of their English counterparts. After all, the aim of having versions of Wikipedia in various languages is so that people who understand the language can get access to this free information. It therefore won't help to have differing information in different languages. This is the reason why I will remain primarily active in the English edition, instead of in the Tagalog Wikipedia.
