Hi everyone! Kamusta kayo!

I'm a student from Baguio City. I mainly contribute on Tagalog and Ilokano content. Languages are my hobby but my dream is to become a doctor someday. I decided to try contributing to Wiktionary and doing stuff I could in my free time.

If you want (and if you're comfortable enough) to help me or correct my edits (or vice versa), you can leave a message in my talk page. You're welcome and thank you for your contributions!

Things to do

 * Main objective: Adding more Tagalog and Ilocano content.
 * Improving the conjugation table of Tagalog verbs and also bringing it to the Tagalog Wiktionary.
 * Maybe create more Tagalog and Ilocano templates.
 * Add Tagalog and Ilocano words in translation tables.
 * Of course, study hard (or smart, I should say)!

My references
When creating or editing entries, I rely mostly on myself, my family, and my relatives, although I always consult multiple references. These are the references I use, listed roughly according to how often I use them.
