Tish is foremost a political activist. She is a lover of compelling discussions, cigarettes and alcohol. She is an dabbles in iconography, history, photography and political analysis.

Evangelical Theology, Post-Modernism and Marxism are all familiar territory to Tish. However, she chose to follow the last. Many decisions she made in the course of her short, colorful life were prompted by her belief in Marxist, Leninist and Maoist theories.

Tish has served twice on the editorial board of Matanglawin an Ateneo de Manila University student publication. In 2005, she joined Migrante International as their Media Liaisons officer. Her political involvements prompted her to “go down from the hill,” leaving the comforts of the Ateneo behind in 2006. She returned to the Ateneo a year later, to take up her Bachelor’s Degree in European Studies once more.

In 2008, she served as a convener Youth for Accountability and Truth Now!-Ateneo (Youth Act Now!) and Tanggulan sa Ateneo (Tanggulan is a Human Rights Youth Network). She was also part of the Eman Lacaba Artists’ Collective (ELAC) core group in 2008.

She credits her political growth to the movement. Many of her published works sprung from the various human rights, labor and student rights issues she encountered through it. She has written for the Philippine Daily Inquirer, Tinig.com and a host of other current events publications.

Recently, Tish entered the world of corporate public relations; as a writer for RubyComm-K.Austria Public Relations Consultants (RCKA PR). She believes that meaningful public relations can shape the way we perceive today’s burning issues.

Despite her corporate work, Tish is still active in various political organizations. She is an advocate of Anakbayan, Lisa Masa for Senator, Kilos Laban sa Budget Cuts and Satur Ocampo for Senator, to name a few.
