BANGSAMORO GIRL TRAINED IN JAPAN
I am an alumna of Hiroshima Peace and Capacity Building for the Bangsamoro (HIPECBM) sponsored by Hiroshima University and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). I am a Maguindanaon-Tausug in Cotabato CIty. I am working in the Department of Public Works and Highways as Audio-visual Production Officer. If you have the luxury of time to browse the net or facebook "DPWH on the Road", I am the voice behind it. Anyway, enough for the segway.
I've been in Japan specifically to Higashi Hiroshima prefecture for one month on November 2015, January 2017 and July 2017, three times in a row for FREE. WOW!
How did I do it?
I applied for it. Its not easy as 1-2-3 but the exposure I had in Japan was fun and exciting as ABC. Back to the question, how I did it? It was on year 2015 when I felt that it was the right time for me to join. I saw their posters in our graduate school in Mindanao State University Maguindanao and tarpaulin at St.Benedict College. I saw the first poster on 2014 but I was not confident enough back then seeing the procedure and requirement; there is a need for passport, transcript of records, filled up application forms and 2x2 photo.
I didn't expect to chosen as part of 33 but I wish I wanted to be part of the 33. I think, they were convinced on my answers on the application questions. I was detailed, direct to the point, specific and passionate. My answers were related to my work experience, educational attainment and advocacy in life. Hence, I am suggesting you to follow the same strategy. There is no lost in trying.
Don't doubt yourself! Have faith and you can do it too!
