About my career
I studied at Manchester Met because of the opportunities open to me after graduating from my chosen course.
I was already working as a Foreign Trade Service Officer at the Department of Trade and Industry of the Philippines whilst undertaking my Graduate Diploma in English and Hong Kong Law. As a diplomat in Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR), I assist Chinese and foreign investors in Hong Kong SAR and Macau SAR who would like to expand their business in the Philippines. I also assist Philippine businesses that would like to bring their products and services in Hong Kong SAR and Macau SAR.
I have always loved the law profession since I am a lawyer in the Philippines. My study of the Graduate Diploma in English and Hong Kong Law allowed me to broaden my knowledge of common law.
After graduating, I continue to develop my career through joining seminars and conferences to enhance my knowledge in law.
My top tip for students
