Biography
Raphael Benasa is a techie by heart. He’s a graduate of Bachelor of Science in Computer Science major in Web Development; in fact, he was a consistent school officer during his 4th-6th-year in college. He also became an entrepreneur at a young age of 21 years old. He’s a fitness junkie who can’t stand not going into the gym, he believes in getting into shape as the best addiction you can ever have.
But this wasn’t true a few years back. Back when he was in 1st-year high school, he got addicted to computer games. In his 2nd-year of high school, he got addicted to drinking alcohol and having night outs with his friends. In his 2nd year of college, he got addicted to smoking that every break time he got in school, he would be out puffing cigarettes. In his 3rd year of college, Raphael’s parents had enough of his boneheaded skull and finally scolded him, telling him to stop studying due to his uncontrollable addictions in computer games, alcoholic drinks, smoking, and night outs.
After that incident, Raphael finally got the message into his head that he should take that sermon seriously and stop being selfish plus insensitive to what people tell him. He felt bad about neglecting his studies due to his addictions, so he thought about getting back to his parents by being more active in school. After 6 years of having no control in his addictions, it became a real pain for him. But that didn’t stop him from overcoming the situation.
A few months into his rehab, he met a girl that would change his life forever. He liked the girl so he courted the girl and after a few months of courtship, they finally became a couple. His girlfriend helped him control his addictions as it was out of control and excessive to the point that they would fight over it every time. In the following months, he steadily gained control over his addictions and in his 3rd year of college, he willingly took up the offer of becoming the president of his class.
But soon before his graduation, his girlfriend broke up with him. At the same time, his dad introduced him to entrepreneurship where he shifted all of his focus to. He was trained 3x a week for 6 months in entrepreneurship. Lessons varying from product specialization, public speaking, network marketing. digital marketing, offline marketing, goal setting, life training, leadership training, critical analysis, business strategy, and customer psychology.
While he was learning entrepreneurship, he was also training his body. Stress from his thesis and school duties got him binge eating and became overweight. So he decided to get fit and started bodybuilding at home, after a month he started going into the local gym for strength and resistance training. He also started eating cleaner, organic, natural, and healthier than before.
And it never stopped there, with the help of his girlfriend he kept disciplining himself to control his addictions. In his 4th year of college, he became the representative of the Information Technology Education (ITE) Department. By the end of his term, he was awarded the Departmental Service Award during his school’s recognition day. And in his 6th year/last year in his college life, he ran for Presidency in his school’s student council and won by landslide along with all of his party members. Furthermore, by the end of his term, he was awarded the Supreme Student Council (SSC) Service Award and graduated after 6 years in college.
He also took up DigitalJobsPH Web Development Training by the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) under LGU Numancia, Aklan. After the training, he was awarded a certificate of completion and was also a medalist for getting a client before graduation.
