Despite the challenges of physical blindness, Kuya Jeff’s ministry and apostolates are a shining testament to the boundless power of faith, creativity, and dedication.
As a composer, he has crafted several powerful musical works, including Maliwanag na Kinabukasan, the official hymn for the Office of the President – Dangerous Drugs Board; Perpetua and Felicity, the parish hymn of Sta.

Beyond his teaching and ministry, Kuya Jeff is deeply committed to missions that help those in need. Each month, he reaches out to orphans, senior citizens, individuals in prison, and even animals in shelters, encouraging others to join him in spreading love and kindness. When he’s not involved in mission work, Kuya Jeff enjoys leisurely walks in the park with his wife, Bessie, their daughter, Jill, and their playful pack of Beagle furballs. Kuya Jeff is a living proof that we don’t need our eyes to see the most important things in life. As the Bible says, “We walk by faith, not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:7)—and he exemplifies this every day. Through his exceptional work and unwavering faith, Kuya Jeff is a beacon of inspiration, showing us how God can use every circumstance to spread His love, truth, and light.
