Aside from his regular instructional duties, he also delivered ten public lectures on various issues and in various venues and audiences including several universities and colleges.
Prior to the start of his Fulbright work, he convened the NAKEM 2022 conference hosted by the PanPacific University in Urdaneta City.
He also begun his field work on mother language education among indigenous groups. In particular, he started his field research among the Ifugao people and then started learning Tuwali, the language of the people, as part of his research.
An initial result of his field experiences will be in the upcoming work, Dispatches from Dalligan, a critical meditation on ethnography as a field methodology, on indigenous life and indigeneity, and on the challenges faced by the indigenous peoples as they confront the hegemonic forces of a dominant state.
