I am Gil M. Parentela, primarily a mental health professional and educator and a humanitarian by personal choice. Though my professional practice takes up most of my time, I pride myself into indulging volunteer work to different associations and organizations that aid the underprivileged and “differently abled” individuals both locally and internationally through the best efforts possible and as needed. And if personal limitations seemed to be an obstacle, the time-tested way of organizing people and influencing them towards common agreeable goals (through God’s help) had always been helpful.
