Jeymar E. Layogan was born in Nueva Vizcaya, a hidden gem province of Region II in the beautiful country of the Philippines. Jeymar always loved hearing other people’s stories and viewing the world through other’s interpretations. This love for people led Jeymar to study Health Sciences and receive his license as a Radiologic Technologist. Through this professional, Jeymar was able to connect to others. But, he felt a calling for something more. Something or someplace where he could dive into the stories of others and find a way to share the truth he uncovered. Jeymar says that it’s as if journalism found him and not the other way around. Jeymar is now a full-time Journalist at Peres Daily News, Israel Now, and Breaking 9 to 5. Jeymar is especially passionate about sifting facts from fiction through countless hours of research and keeping up with Western politics.
