In recognition of his academic achievements, he was inducted as a member of Pi Gamma Mu and the Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi. He obtained his bachelor's degree in history from the University of the Philippines, graduating as magna cum laude.
He has also served in the Boy Scouts of the Philippines. He has served in various volunteering and leadership activities, many of which are school-related or church-related. He found the person in the Filipino migrant worker Juan Ruiz, who beneath his cheerful façade as a valet, and his limited grasp of the English and Spanish languages was a closely held secret - he was the real bank thief.Raposas has been involved in public service since at least 2003. Intent on redeeming his friend's convictions and taking his own place in history even as his prosperity was placed on the line, Haze decided to acquire the services of a valet who had sufficient experience and knowledge of the other side of the world in order to avoid Fogg's fate. The lone gentleman who stepped up was one of Fogg's few friends remaining in the Reform Club, the similarly eccentric yet relatively unknown Richard Haze. The following year, 1873, was met with a daring public declaration from two ladies and one gentleman to fulfill the monumental task, this time through an even heftier wager that tripled Fogg's stakes. The slim loss, meanwhile, did not seem to discourage the populace from proving him right.
His sensational adventure, however, came to a grim end on his part as he became 20,000 pounds poorer after finishing the journey on the 81st day. They say a revolution usually took 365 days, but could it be possible in just eighty? British gentleman Phileas Fogg drove the world crazy with his uncanny wager to circumnavigate the globe in eighty days, at the wake of the infamous robbery done against the Bank of England.
