Laguna, Calabarzon, Philippines
I am an expert in carbon offsetting, agricultural waste utilization, and sustainable project development. With a strong background in project management, I have led stakeholder engagement and implementation efforts in the rice production sector. I have worked on carbon credit projects, specializing in biochar, with experience in Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) for emissions reduction. I conduct biochar market research, secure grants, and identify high-impact sustainability opportunities. Currently finishing my Master's in Environment and Natural Resources Management at the University of the Philippines, I focus on bridging research and implementation. Dedicated to sustainability, I develop scalable projects that drive climate action.
At Planet2050, we are building new digital infrastructure for Carbon Markets, Project Developers and Climate Communities. We enable transparent, verifiable and accountable environmental assets such as Carbon and Biodiversity Credits to be issued and exchanged within value chains (Scope 3) and beyond (Carbon Markets).
I lead market research, project assessments, and stakeholder engagement in the Philippines' carbon market. My role covers a broad scope of carbon methodologies, including biochar, Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW), Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD), Afforestation, Reforestation, and Revegetation (ARR), biomass, biogas, and mangrove restoration. I develop market entry strategies, identify partnership opportunities, and track regulatory developments. I also support project origination, feasibility assessments, and documentation to ensure alignment with carbon credit standards, driving high-quality carbon removal initiatives.

Our flagship, MinTrees (VCS 2412), issued the Philippines’ first verified NbS credits (Triple Gold CCB). We’re also developing MinFor, the country’s first Indigenous-led REDD+ project. Part of Kennemer, with 15+ years of experience in rural restoration, we blend local depth with technical rigor to scale impact.
