I’m really happy to share that my name showed up in the official A Month in Core report for August 2025 on:
It’s a monthly update that highlights everyone who helped push WordPress Core forward, and it feels good to be included again.
Most of my work in August was about testing, reviewing, and sending patches to make WordPress a little more stable and easier to use. I spent time writing test reports so bugs could be reproduced and fixed properly, digging into tickets around performance, editor stability, and form handling, and even helping clean up documentation to make things clearer for new contributors. I also joined a few discussions about improving the developer experience — things like better error handling and stronger test coverage.
All in all, I picked up 8 props for my contributions to WordPress 6.9 so far. Each prop might look small on paper, but behind it are hours of troubleshooting, testing, and collaborating with other contributors.
Representing the Philippines 🇵🇭
Something I’m especially proud of is that I was the lone Core contributor from the Philippines in this report. While it’s great to represent, I really hope more kababayan jump in and get involved with Core in the future.
That said, I want to acknowledge that many Filipinos are already contributing in other meaningful ways within the WordPress community, whether as meetup organizers, WordCamp organizers, volunteers, or speakers. The WordPress project grows stronger when more voices are part of the conversation, and I’d love to see more Filipinos on that list.
This keeps me motivated to keep contributing, learning, and sharing. With WordPress 6.9 on the way, I’m looking forward to being part of the work that shapes its release.
