Did
you know that Atty. Bryan Olaso Gaviola, one of the
gorgeous young lawyers in the province, wanted to become a Navy SEAL (Sea, Air,
Land, and the SEALs are the U.S. Navy's most acclaimed special ops unit) and
he, sigh, failed?
“I
really wanted to become a soldier, but...”
 |
| Atty. Bryan Gaviola: ‘I’m single by choice.’ |
He
ended up a lawyer, educated at Mindanao State University (AB Philosophy) and a
teacher at University of Bohol.
“I
wanna help the oppressed, the persecuted, and the underdog, and the community
in general in order to make the world a better place to live and make a living
for myself at the same time,” said the young lawyer.
We
see him all the time in Junior Chamber
International (JCI)- Bohol Sandugo activities but we don’t really know much
about Bryan. Just recently, Bryan spearheaded the 60th Year
Anniversary of JCI-Bohol, a leading global network of young active citizens whose
mission is to provide development opportunities that empower young people to
create positive change.
At
29 (an Aries, born on March 30), Bryan is still single and available. Asked if
he’s choosy, Bryan said, “No.” But he is searching. “I’m single by choice,” he
added, “I want to marry the right woman, at the right time, and for the right
reason. And it’s sad to belong to someone else when the right one comes along.”
Bryan
stands 5’9”; and wears extra-large-size shirt, extra-large-size briefs and
size-11 shoes.

Your daily schedule
must be hectic. Describe a day in your life.
“In
the morning I usually attend court hearings and in the afternoon I’m busy with
clients and papers at the office, after office hours I deal with appointments,
meetings, and teaching. Only then can I spend the rest of my day with friends.”

| Atty. Bryan Gaviola finds time to travel (this time in France) for adventurous exploration, cultural musings, and wanderlust. |

been practicing your profession?
“A
little over two year but it feels like more because I was fortunate enough to
be offered partnership with Atty. Jaime Jimenez shortly after passing the bar
exam.”
How long you have
been teaching at University of Bohol?
“Six
years since 2005.” (The same school he graduated high
school.-LPU)
How do you manage it,
practicing your profession as a lawyer and at the same time teaching?
“I
have requested our dean to schedule my subject after office house so there is
no conflict. But it’s easier said than done. (Laughs)”
Don’t tell me that
you bring work at home.
“I
rarely bring work at home. But there are time when call of duty at the office
requires it.”
What makes you busy
nowadays? Probably with Junior Chamber International (JCI)- Bohol Sandugo?
“Yes.
JCI takes up most of my free time.”

But the most ambitious is to finally set up our headquarters after so many
years. Thanks to the Gallares family for graciously giving us a little space in
one of their properties.”

you do when you wake up?

Coffee.”
