Romeo and his friends visited these indigenous and tribal communities of Palawan Philippines once or twice a year to conduct feeding and medical programs, education and sports activities, training and leadership skills and many more.
Triathlon Engagement
It was April of 2016 when Romeo's Friend Rodruf Sollestre invited him to check what Triathlon is all about. At that time Romeo doesn't know how to swim, and not properly know how to pedal a bicycle and run.
