“Spin the wheel! Take a chance! Every journey starts a new romance! 👑” - Lyrics from Jump Up, Super Star! (Super Mario Odyssey).

It’s Mikee-time! There’s no better captain to lead a crew through an odyssey quite like Mikee. With her experience in delivering browser-defeating speeches and out-of-this-world ideas, she can guide you all the way to the moon! 🚀🌕

Get to know more about this incredible captain with a write-up from her former crewmate Jason Dizon 🛟:

“Mikee is an icon of Philippine debating in a distinctly Lasallian way. ESL Champion in WUDC 2016 and twice Best Speaker of the Philippines, she led the La Salle Debate Society through a period of steady growth and afterwards served the community as Chair of the Philippine Debate Union. Her warmth and friendly demeanor is marked by steady principles and an unyielding commitment to accountability, making her one of the finest examples of that Lasallian tradition of winning with honor and making the game beautiful. Outside of her professional engagements, she spends her time raising the next generation of Lasallian debaters together with her former debate teammates— including that former partner she will marry later this year.”
