RICHARD WOODWARD
Philippine Country of Origin Representative

I was born in Manila, Philippines and adopted around age one and a half by my Australian adoptive family.  My birth mother is Filipino and my birth father is believed to be American.  At the moment I am completing my architecture degree at RMIT and working full-time at an architectural firm in Melbourne city.

I have only recently begun to start exploring my roots and background.  In 2008 I plan to return to the Philippines for a holiday and chance to try and track-down my birth family.  By attending local Filipino church and community events, I have already been able to meet a lot of people and experience Filipino culture first hand.

I can help you get in contact with the Victorian Filipino community and help with information on local events and services. Feel free to contact me on my email or phone.
