BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Mr. Adan Vargas is a 20-year-old male who is the third of siblings born on March 24, 2003. He is associated
with the Bonifacio Group of Company as a scholar. Every Sunday, he attends the World Mission Society
Church of GOD and enjoys playing the guitar and singing.

Adan Vargas takes responsibility for the family's laundry, housework, and cooking. His mother trusts him
for these tasks and believes that his shyness might stem from their relocation from Taguig City seven years
ago. She also mentioned that her son has never had a girlfriend and that he is a sweet and loving person
who takes care of his siblings.

During my time with them, I could sense the love and respect his family has for him.

BEHAVIORAL OBSERVATION

Mr. Adan, a kind boy, takes care of their house. I don't know anyone else like him, especially considering
he is a teenager man. We know that most men are naturally ignorant of housework, but he is different.
This observation was further confirmed when I visited him at his house, and I overheard his mother
praising him for his good qualities. During our first meeting at the BVMGT activity, he was wearing
casual clothes, a Blue Polo shirt and jeans, and rubber shoes, with his hair neat. Before we went to his
office, he mentioned that he was shy around me, attributing it to nervousness. I inquired why he felt that
way, and he explained his apprehension about potentially saying something that might bother him. I tried
to make him feel more comfortable by assuring him that our conversations would be confidential and that
the activity was a safe zone.
Despite his stammering, which I noticed during our interviews, he still managed to convey his feelings of
fear and nervousness.
