Silver

June 2, 2012, marked my 25th year of service to the university. Days had passed by when I remembered this milestone in my life (I'm particular when it comes to dates and special moments to cherish, too busy huh?). It could have been a few months longer had there been no hiring ban because of the constitutional plebiscite in February 1987.

My teaching work at the university is my bread and butter (kanin at ulam). From a substitute instructor to a full-fledged professor, I gained learning experiences that made me who I am today. The award I received from my professional organization reminds me that I did my job well. However, it is more rewarding to see my former students excel in their respective careers.

I thank the Lord for being with me and carrying me through all these years.
