Pleased to meet you! My name is Jason, and I’m a content writer here at LuckyStars.ph. In truth, we all contribute with content in both brainstorming and writing guides and reviews, but my work is more centered on producing new content. I was invited by Jason to be the person to put all our best tips and the evaluation of online casinos and lotteries into words, and I’m glad to have accepted that invitation.

I was born in 1990 in Quezon City but moved to central Manilla at the age of 12 when my father switched jobs. That was a difficult change for a kid my age back then, and the difficulty in making new friends made me turn to books. I'm glad for having to go through that phase because it made me who I am today and prepared me for my current career.

At the age of 20, I started studying marketing at De La Salle University. As soon as I finished a master's in marketing communications, I started to travel, mostly within our continent, while freelancing by writing e-books as a ghostwriter and producing content for websites about finances and making money. That latter job led me to figure out that online lotteries were available in the Philippines and that we could actually play games from other countries online.

From then, I became a regular player of lotteries such as my favorite, the US Powerball, and discovered online casinos as well. By the time Jason found me and invited me to write content for LuckyStars.ph, I could consider myself a specialist, having gone through good and bad choices. Now, I want everyone to know what they can do online when it comes to gambling, but with our tips to avoid hard lessons that I had to figure out by myself.

Words Have the Power to Guide Players

When I accepted the role of content writer here at LuckyStars, I knew that this project had a lot of potential. The sparkles in the eyes of Jason when talking about his goal of informing people in the Philippines were positively contagious. I knew that I could use my skill to help people who are clueless about how to gamble online in safety and lead them through the right path.

In fact, seeing my work published and actively working to maintain it updated and accurate makes me really proud. If the Joshua of a couple of years ago had that much information distributed in an organized and explained manner, he would have saved some money and effort. Now, I get to inform people and make sure that they have the right choices in front of them.

My Duties at LuckyStars.ph

The role of a content writer is pretty straightforward when it comes to my tasks, but I have to admit that I have never felt like a member of the team before LuckyStars. My previous jobs were the definition of freelancing, as I simply had some instructions to follow and no connection with the company’s goals. At LuckyStars, I feel that my voice is as strong as my written words, and I’m heard.

That has a positive impact on my work. I understand the importance of a complete and detailed explanation of how online gambling works in the Philippines. After all, I used to be clueless as well in the past, and I know what is necessary to know to be safe when seeking that type of entertainment online. By getting to see the final result of my work and discussing how it can be improved, the whole team and all our readers benefit from it.

More Words About Me

As passionate about writing as I am, I could keep writing a full essay about myself. I know it is not the purpose of this page, so I will end it with a few answered questions about me for those that are still a bit curious.

Have You Worked on a Project Like LuckyStars Before?

LuckyStars is the first project that I participated in that is entirely dedicated to our people and how things work in the Philippines. I have experience writing for other gambling sites before, aimed at other countries, and that not only provided me with expertise but also allowed me to see the differences and what our country may still experience in the future.

What Is Your Favorite Game?

Unlike my colleagues, I still prefer online lotteries over online casinos, although I still enjoy using the rest of my funds after buying tickets to play live casino games. So far, I was not lucky enough to win in my favorite game, the Powerball from the United States. There is something about it that keeps me giving it a try.

How Do You See Yourself in Ten Years?

Hopefully, LuckyStars will become the most important portal about online gambling in the Philippines, maybe even an example to websites around the world, and I will be part of it. That would be the greatest achievement in my career, without a doubt.
