What sets Ngadima apart from the thousands of UP graduates, in addition to his nationality, is the fact that he is among the first from his country to receive a doctorate in public administration.Ngadima first came to the Philippines in 2011 as a missionary student. While serving his church, he took up his second master’s degree – his first was on law -- in divinity from the Adventist International Institute of Advanced Studies in Silang, Cavite.
