Meet Luis

Life in Hong Kong

Luis is a permanent resident of Hong Kong who first moved to the region in 2007 in pursuit of new beginnings. Over the past 17 years, employment was fortunately never an issue for Luis, finding work in various industries such as the Food & Beverage industry and Banking. Luis credits this to the numerous benefits provided by the Hong Kong government, making his life in Hong Kong easier to navigate.

During his free days, Luis liked to hike the mountains of Hong Kong and appreciate the scenery. As he kept hiking, he eventually decided to put together a small group of Filipino hikers to help foster a sense of community and belonging. This is one of the many things that allowed him to stay in touch with his own culture and identity as a Filipino.

Although he has also been subjected to some forms of racial discrimination, Luis believes that staying firm in his beliefs and capabilities have helped him overcome these challenges, earning the respect of those around him. He also believes that Hong Kongers are generally more acceptable of Filipinos lately given the latter’s contributions to Hong Kong society.
