Ricci Danelle SY

I’m Ricci Sy, and my background in AB Sociology has shaped the way I value stories—especially those rooted in real, everyday experiences. I enjoy listening to people’s narratives and turning them into insights and voices that deserve to be heard. I’m passionate about living life fully and making a positive impact wherever I can. I joined TLA because I’ve always felt that Filipino Hokkien is a gated language—spoken only by a few. I was really moved by the organization’s mission to preserve and revive the language in the Philippines, and even more by how it affirms Lannang as a proudly Filipino identity. I wanted to be part of that effort—to help make our language and culture more inclusive, visible, and alive.
