Prior to IPA, Mr. Advincula was the editor-in-chief of The Filipino Express, an English-language national weeky, and a correspondent for The Jersey Journal.

My year as a Revson Fellow was undeniably a productive experience from which I was able to benefit significantly. It afforded me a unique opportunity for the in-depth examination of child-care services in New York City and for the detailed analysis of public policies influencing the administration of the Human Resources Administration and its Agency for Child Development.
