A heartfelt thank you to The Global Filipino Magazine (TGFI) for featuring our Brand Ambassador, Engr. Mark Francis Abela.

We truly appreciate your support in sharing his inspiring journey, achievements, and advocacy with Filipinos around the world. May his story continue to empower and inspire our global Filipino community.

One Company. Two Experiences. Endless Possibilities.

Balancing a demanding career in the oil and gas industry with a string of other pursuits, Engr. Mark Francis Abela has made a name as an engineer, licensed nurse, radio host, and — as of this year — a pageant winner.

The Saudi-based Filipino channels each role into a single advocacy: lifting up fellow overseas workers.

"Regardless of where we come from, every Filipino deserves to be seen, heard, and empowered," he shares with TGFM.
