Lloyd A. Luna is a Filipino motivational speaker based in Manila, Philippines. In the last seven years, he has spoken to more than half a million people not only in the Philippines but also in most part of Asia and the Middle East including Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Brunei, South Korea, and United Arab Emirates.

His motivational story has been the subject profile of major dailies, national and local television and radio, and Internet in the Philippines.

Lloyd started as a bread seller in a suburb town of Gumaca in Quezon Province, about 200 kilometers away from the city capital of the Philippines. He would help his father distribute breads to small stores in at least five villages.

Growing up, Lloyd didn't have so much. He would attend public school from grade school up to college where he would take Bachelor of Science in Electronics and Communications Engineering in Polytechnic University of the Philippines, the country's premier government-subsidized university.

Because he thought money is the most important thing in life, probably because his family lacks it, he would give up his dream of becoming a journalist and took engineering to guarantee some high paying job after graduation.

Haunted by his passion for writing, he would join the college paper and take a leadership role for two years as the Editor-in-Chief. It is when he started developing his writing skills.

In 2003, he landed a job as correspondent of The Manila Times, the Philippines oldest English newspaper. While in engineering, he would chase news and write for the news organization. Committed to improve his skills and influence, he founded Network of Campus Journalists of the Philippines.

Early in his life in college, he also got a chance to work as Technical Assistant to the President of the Republic of the Philippines. He became part of the team that cascaded the Strong Republic vision of former President Gloria Macaoagal-Arroyo.

After his two-year stint in the government, he was hired as corporate communications manager of The Next Step Events and would later take the role as Chairman of Career Avenue, a premier event for job seekers.

One year later, he would leave the corporate world.
