Keb began his formal education at Almanza Elementary School, where he graduated in 2008 and served as Associate Editor of the school paper. In high school, he studied at Saint Anthony School of Las Piñas (Saint Francis of Assisi College System), graduating in 2012 with the distinction of First Honorable Mention and as Editor-in-Chief of the student publication. To help finance his education, Keb competed in amateur singing and writing contests—winning scholarships and cash prizes that sustained his schooling.

Driven by aspirations of becoming either a doctor or a lawyer, Keb entered Adamson University in 2012, first taking up Accountancy, then shifting to Biology after discovering a stronger inclination toward the sciences. He consistently ranked among the top 10 students in his class. However, a sudden increase in tuition fees and the absence of scholarship support led him to transfer to the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB).

At UPLB, Keb pursued a BS in Agribusiness Management, a program that blended his interests in science, economics, and entrepreneurship. He became a student leader, founding Enactus UPLB and launching Amiga Philippines, a program that trained women and farmers in Calauan, Laguna in agribusiness and recordkeeping. For these efforts, he received the Service Leadership Award in 2017 from Enactus Philippines. That same year, he passed the Professional Licensure Examination for Agriculturists, earning a score just two points shy of the board topnotcher rank.

In 2018, Keb was selected for the prestigious Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative (YSEALI) fellowship by the U.S. Department of State. He studied economic development and social entrepreneurship at Brown University’s Swearer Center for Public Service, jointly with the University of Connecticut and University for Peace.

However, during his stay in the United States, tragedy struck. On October 6, 2018—his birthday—Keb’s father suffered a stroke while returning from their farmland. He had just confronted a land grabber claiming part of their property. After weeks in critical care and a second stroke, his father passed away. The incident not only left the family emotionally shattered but also burdened them with significant medical debts. The land they had fought to protect was later sold to cover hospital bills. This painful experience became a turning point in Keb’s life—fueling his eventual decision to pursue a legal education focused on land rights, healthcare reform, and agricultural justice.

After returning to the Philippines, Keb co-founded Tagani, a digital agriculture startup that provided farmers with market access, e-learning tools, and digital finance services. Tagani gained widespread acclaim, winning multiple awards from World Vision, BPI Sinag, and the UNDP, and being named among the Top 100 Startups in Asia Pacific at the Echelon Summit. Unfortunately, the pandemic forced the company to shut down in 2022, prompting Keb to return to public service.

That same year, he enrolled in a Professional Master’s in Data Science at the Technological Institute of the Philippines. In 2023, based on his professional portfolio, he was admitted to the straight PhD in Data Science program at UP Diliman, under the supervision of Dr. Giovanni Tapang, then Dean of the College of Science. However, he later decided to shift paths once more—this time to pursue a lifelong dream of entering the legal profession.

In 2025, Keb enrolled in the ladderized Master of Legal Studies–Juris Doctor (MLS–JD) program at Adamson University College of Law, returning to the institution where he first began his tertiary education journey.
