<INTERNATIONAL PUBLICATION!>

I am so ecstatic to announce that my 1st Ph.D. paper entitled "The role of Filipino occupational therapists in substance addiction and rehabilitation: A Q-methodology" has been published in the "Occupational Therapy in Mental Health" international journal with my Ph.D. adviser/supervisor Prof./Dr. Nobuo Ohshima of TMU-Arakawa and co-author/partner Ms Nicole Roraldo OTRP this April 2018!

Glory to God in the highest for this blessing, opportunity, and faithful testament!
