Embracing gratitude to live and love authentically with Kahlil Bagatsing

Kahlil’s story is about his challenge which was, that at forty he realised he was not living an authentic life. ‘it's like my whole life, I've just been trying to be someone who I wasn't’. Although living very comfortably and with a job in the family business, he was unhappy, overweight, single and had no friends. At the same time, he helped grant hundreds of wishes as a volunteer of the Make-A-Wish Foundation Philippines which he loved.He spent time in an ashram in India and a Buddhist monastery in Nepal and other spiritual activities trying to learn self-love. He fell in love with comedy improv in the US and eventually turned his life around and now helps support immigrants and refugees in the US. BiographyCurrently work as an employment services advisor for Upwardly Global, a non-profit in the US working to support immigrants and refugees with international credentials to restart their careers in the United States.
