Nag-Siege KNB? Mag-Siege Ka Muna!
Again, why philosophy?

I really wanted to be a lawyer on TV, so I thought, since I wasn’t born of a showbiz family, I had to work my way from the bottom to the top (like most Starstruck boys, no?) by first researching what it’s like to be a real lawyer so I can audition properly and get the plum lawyer roles on TV. (I wanted to compose empathic closing arguments which I’ll deliver like the lawyers of Cage & Fish on TV’s Ally Mc Beal. I rehearsed for hours.)

So, I went to study philosophy as my pre-law school discipline. I wanted to study logic and arguments with surgical precision. I want to parse out a statement, dissect it to its basic phonemic units, and turn it around.

Eventually, writing empathic closing arguments did work for me. As a copywriter, I’m tasked to present our proposed campaigns and activations to clients. Sometimes, as I deliver one of these presentations, I imagine myself in a court room, and the jury is my audience. I clear my throat, I argue my case.

We win some, we lose some. the important thign is you look good either way.

Ask me anything.
