[Job Title] Reinforcement Work

I came to Japan in 2017 to support my parents, who live in the Philippines.
It all started when a friend of mine, who works as a carpenter, told me, "There are lots of good jobs in Japan."

Reinforcement work is tough, and there are times when it's hard. But I've made friends, so there are also many happy moments. Working with my friends makes every day so much fun, and I'm really glad I came to Japan.

On my days off from work, I play basketball with my colleagues and friends I made in Japan.
Also, I love cooking. I cook and eat my own meals, and they're so delicious that I often end up eating too much.
If you ever come to Japan, I'll cook you a meal!
