Ruko, from General Santos City, is a creative individual with a passion for many forms of art. Growing up, he was drawn to painting, dancing, singing, and writing, using these outlets to express his emotions when words couldn’t capture them. He often shares his artwork with his close friends and family, making it a personal way of connecting with those he cares about. His deep love for the arts led him to pursue a Bachelor of Performing Arts degree, majoring in dance, while also becoming a member of Teatro Ambahanon, a national contemporary dance company.
Ruko’s hard work and talent have earned him impressive accomplishments. In 2022, his dance film was showcased at the Tanghal National University and Community-based Theatre Festival at the Cultural Center of the Philippines, where he wrote, choreographed, and directed the film. He also placed 6th out of 38 finalists at BodyRock Asia 2023 in Manila and earned 5th place in the Monster Category at the World Supremacy Battlegrounds 2023 in Davao. Despite struggling with social anxiety, Ruko loves performing and making people smile. His passion for teaching also led him to hold dance workshops across Mindanao, sharing his love for dance with others. In addition to his artistic career, Ruko is a fan of simple pleasures. He loves wearing neutral colors, especially shades of gray, but has a playful side that enjoys experimenting with all colors. When he's not dancing or painting, he finds joy in moments of solitude—whether it's wandering the streets, playing with his inline skates, or enjoying quiet time with street animals. His favorite hobbies include listening to Chinese classical music, playing table tennis, and enjoying matcha drinks, especially at Tokyo Matcha, where he loves the Matcha Goko Blend.
Ruko’s unique personality is reflected in his favorite things. He has a soft spot for ducklings and collects Hangyodon items and plushies. His favorite flower is the water lily, and his favorite book is The Little Prince. Whether he's enjoying the view of a sunset, riding the LRT, or visiting museums and churches, Ruko finds beauty in the little things in life. With his creative spirit, warm heart, and quiet determination, Ruko is constantly finding new ways to express himself and connect with others. His journey is one of personal growth, artistic expression, and embracing the simple joys of life.
