"I did not aim to become a leader. I just volunteered, rendered services for my campus, community, and family. I just obeyed what God told me to do. Then, I started to encourage others to do the same. Hindi ako tinuruan na maging isang leader lang, kundi maging isang servant leader (I was taught to be a servant leader) who shows [his followers what to do] just like what Jesus did. To students out there, Joshua says, “remember to use your purpose to motivate others, to use your season to influence your generation and also to inspire the next.” - Joshua

A week after my mother’s death, my father left us, taking away with him all my mother’s savings and insurance benefits.

I still vividly remember when my father told me, “o, itong P2,000, ipamasahe mo pa-Maynila. Magtrabaho ka. Ayusin mo ‘yang buhay mo. ‘Wag mo kaming alalahanin dito. Pangarap mo ang unahin mo.” (“Use this P2,000 to go to Manila. Work there and get a better life. Don’t worry about us here. Put your dreams first.”) My father sold the only pig we had for P2,000 to send me to Manila.
