Jai in Silliman University, Dumaguete City

Transferring from Xavier University in Cagayan de Oro City, Jai continued his course in Psychology in Silliman University in Dumaguete City. Silliman University has an excellent course in Music which caused Jai to consider shifting to a Bachelors course in Music but, he had always wanted to emulate his uncles who were successful practitoners of Medicine back home in Cagayan de Oro City. Dumaguete City is well-know for Music and the Arts and boasts of many musicians .who are well-known in the Philippine music scene.

While he is considered a gifted basketball player, Jai has pursued a different avocation when he moved to Dumaguete City. Music has become a principal obsession with him and although he is greatly influenced by the music of Incubus, his taste in music varies widely from Santana, to David Spinoza, Steve Vai and other artists of established reputation.

With other friends, Jai organized a band to compete in the Battle of the Bands which is an annual contest where winners from various cities vied for honors in regional contests the winners of which would compete in the National Battle of the Bands in Manila. Jai and his band handily won the Dumaguete leg of the Contest and they competed with bands in Cebu City. While he used to play bass when he had his band in Cagayan de Oro City, Jai did the lead vocals at this time.
