I was truly privileged to have worked with Jerel!

I already knew of Jerel through his leadership in AI Pilipinas Cebu, where I first encountered his work and vision. From that moment, I had a strong impression of him as a forward thinker. When I later realized that I would be working directly with him as part of the team, I felt both surprised and grateful for the opportunity.

Throughout my internship, that initial impression only proved more accurate. Sir Jerel is a genuine visionary. He consistently sets a clear direction, ensuring the team understands not just what we are building, but why. He is deeply committed to innovation, particularly in AI, and actively introduces emerging tools that empower the team to work smarter.

As an intern and developer, I learned an immense amount from him. Many of the AI tools and workflows I use today were first introduced to me through his guidance. More than technical knowledge, he demonstrated what strong leadership looks like: someone who provides clarity, inspires forward thinking, and constantly pushes the team to stay aligned with where technology is headed.

I am sincerely grateful for the opportunity to learn from him, and I highly recommend him to any team looking for an exceptional product manager, AI advocate, and leader.

During my time as the content manager at TripGuru, I saw firsthand how Jerel really rocked our product strategy and innovation game. He had this knack for creating a solid plan that fit perfectly with what we were doing content-wise and what the big bosses wanted.

One of the coolest things Jerel did was roll out our new Cost Portal. He led the charge on this project, and suddenly, our report generation time went from forever (okay, 12 days, but still!) to almost instant. It was a game-changer that made work life much easier for me and my team. Thanks to Jerel's smarts and leadership, we could make decisions way faster and with more confidence.

Jerel is a hardworking, intelligent young man that is making his way into Information Technology business when I worked with him back in 2023. He is eager to learn and has always been hungry for knowledge in order to advance his craft. He would make sure to seek advice from his seniors and get feedback regarding his performance so he would know which areas he need to improve. These are the good qualities that I can recommend when it comes to his work ethics.
