My Story
I am Raymund Ordoyo and I’d like to share some stories about how I chose aviation as a profession. It all started in a city called Iloilo situated in one of the many islands within the Philippines. My family lived near a town where the main airport of the city is located at. I took every chance I got to view planes flying low and slow relative to the ground. Whether this is after school, before school, day or night, It would take up most of my free time throughout the day. Fast forward a few years to the year 2012, me along with my two siblings and my parents, immigrated to a country and place we now proudly call home, British Columbia, Canada. During my early teen years, my peers would be consumed with video games and hanging out with their friends while someone like myself would wait for the next episode of “Mayday: Air Disaster” to be released. I was fascinated with the intricacies and nuances that came along with the aviation industry as a whole. Ever since then, I was convinced that the aviation sector was something I could foresee myself being immersed in for a long time.
My Education
I am currently a young and aspiring student that is currently enrolled and studying at the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) for Aviation Management Operations. Set to graduate with a diploma at May 2026.
Since joining this program at BCIT, I have amassed the relevant knowledge, skills and technical abilities to be able to perform the necessary duties that is instrumental with regard to running an airport. Having completed courses such as Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs), Safety Management Systems (SMS), Airport Emergency Management, Airside Operations and Airport Planning and Design, to name a few. Not to mention the many advices and insights, I have picked up so far during my stay here at BCIT. Along with having experience in the working world where I have develop my skills in being reliable, team oriented and having an eagerness to strive for continuous improvement, within myself and the workplace, I am excited to apply this into a complex and ever-changing industry such as aviation.
