He learned the power of sharing your knowledge because he believes that it is not something that could lessen you as a person if you help and recognize others' growth. He also became a speaker at various conventions and seminars.
His Message to VOTY members is to continue the fire, the activeness in serving Voice of the Youth Network. He commended the Founder of the Philippine Center for Voice Acting.

Quote 1:
“The greatest lesson that I learned in VOTY is the Power of Sharing your knowledge, may favorite ako na paniniwala, na hindi kabawasan sayo ang pagtulong at pag angat ng ibang tao, kasi pag tinulungan mo silang umangat ibig sabihin mas magaling kang tao. I think yun naman dapat amg principle natin, To help, to inform, to inspire, to involve and to empower. Yung mga individual na nakikitaan mo ng potential, kasi pangit naman na ikaw lang ang magaling, I believe mas maganda ang isang lugar, isang community na lahat kayo magagaling.”
Quote 2:
“And yung pagbabago naman eh hindi naman yun one way, pag tinulungan mo ung tao, nandun na yun sa tao kung gusto niyang magbago.”
Quote 3:
“Pumasok ka sa isang organization na we help each other para mas maging maganda ang buhay or we help each other to be better.”
