I have met him as a guest speaker back in college. A wonderful fellow, one of Cordillera's pride, truly deserving of that reward. An example to emulate. Hats off to you Dr. Guinaran!

I can't help but notice his age noted in this article. I believe he must be older than 29, otherwise he would have graduated from college when he was 14.
