out of tour guiding. However, the universe has a seemingly magical way of leading this Tanjay native, showing him around as he moved from being an accredited freelancer to working with several tour operators in Cebu by way of assisting tourist/guest upon arrival and hotel check-in and conducting the tour as per guest itinerary.

“I took up Political Science in 1994 at the Silliman University (Dumaguete City), but I did not finish the course. I became an activist,” Balbino “Ka Bino” PadaGuerrero narrated. “Then I went back to school and took up BS Secondary Education with History as my major in Diaz College (TanjayCity). After which, an opportunity plucked me off Negros (Oriental) and transplanted me here in Cebu.”
