I am John Manuel G. Catuday, of legal age, single, a passionate community organizer and licensed environmental planner with a Bachelor’s of Science in Entrepreneurship degree holder and a Masters’ of Management candidate, immersed in the field of planning, marketing, advertising, public relation, and project management.

I worked as a regional community development coordinator and a national livelihood coordinator at CFC ANCOP Global Foundation, Inc., a faith-based non-government organization. As a livelihood coordinator, I prepare feasibility studies, project proposals, and training design for various Micro Small, and Medium Enterprises, cooperatives, and community-initiated social enterprises. I am involved in planning, organizing, and monitoring these livelihood groups. As a community development coordinator, I facilitate and document various activities from small meetings to training and workshops, to huge events such as conferences and conventions.

Currently, I am working as a tourism officer of a local government unit here in the Philippines where I am responsible for crafting comprehensive tourism development plans, organizing livelihood projects, facilitating cultural and social events, and promoting our municipality locally and abroad.

Through my past and present job experiences I can develop flexibility at work being alone, working under a group, or as a leader both onsite or remote by being comfortable in using different online productivity and team management tools. My expertise in using several social media platforms allowed me to maximize the use of the internet in establishing meaningful networks, promoting certain advocacy or project, provide interesting content, and sharing relevant information.

Personally, I love to travel and photography. These hubbies offer an opportunity for me to recognize and appreciate the wonderful beauty of the world that surrounds the me-providing an infinite source of inspiration for content and personal growth.
