From Pampanga to Melbourne, Arvin’s journey reflects courage, creativity, and reinvention. After working as a nurse, he discovered a deeper passion for baking and moved to Australia in 2014, where he found a new way to express his Filipino identity. Through his craft, Arvin introduced Filipino flavors to the global stage, earning praise for his bibingka scones and having his ube cheesecake hailed by judges as one of the best bakes they had ever tasted. A proud alumnus of Holy Cross College, Arvin carries with him the values of excellence, passion, and cultural pride, proving that wherever a Crucian goes, home is never far from the heart. #FidesCaritasLibertas
