What does humanity mean to you?
A good friend once said, “Humanity is being able to empathize and care for another human without asking anything in return.” I truly believe in this, because good intentions are intentions, but good deeds are deeds. At the same time, for me, humanity comes when we learn to understand everyone’s situation before telling on them. The freedom and explicit acceptance without giving big doubts on someone’s capacity to survive the diversity of life. It’s letting people move to where they want to go and helping them grow in simplicity. Humanity includes everyone living on Earth. And its more like letting everyone live in harmony with no limits, but with fair guidance to produce good and kindhearted people.” – Mari Lucris Diploma Bernardo, HR, Traveler

“I have two nicknames, Angel when I was younger and Lucy during my teenage years. Oh yah, my birthday, February 8, 1989. Just do the math to get my age. Hahaha!”, she said during the interview. She was an agent for more than a year at Convergys Shaw. She is currently an HR Assistant for AMA Corporate Office. She is what you call a typical yuppie, living the corporate life.

After a year of working as an agent, she felt the need to leave and explore the things she only heared or read about. Through the encouragement of her friends she decided to take a leap. “ I started traveling with my friend October 2013. I really dont have the means but my close friend made me realize its a good feeling and you’ll learn a lot, not just the environment but everything about life. I travel with friends yah but I’m planning to do a backpacking solo trip before the year ends. I can’t go with big groups but I am helping myself out of it. Well yah. I’m a starter for traveling but I hope to travel more in the coming days.”
