Saling Pusa (Sit-in)

I am second to the eldest of seven of five boys and two girls. I started my formal schooling at the age of five wherein only seven years old were accepted in grade one. My teacher, Mrs. Cecilia A. Santos did not passed me. I was wondering why on earth she did not promoted me to grade two. I know I am much better than to those promoted. Why did she gave me a not passing grade wherein I am not yet qualified to be in grade one. I am now a repeater meaning I can not be a validectorian even qualified because of this. I transferred to M. Hizon Elementary School in Manila during my last year of elementary. I have to to it so that I will enjoy the free high school education introduced by the city government of Manila. The method of teaching is more simple here than in the province. I knew almost all the lessons they were teaching. After elementary I enrolled for the secondary level at Jose Abad Santos High School.

Oh, Romeo

I can say I am much matured now. For the past 20 years as an expatriate I learned so much about life away from love ones. I can say that I am a jack of all trades but master of none.

I am just a mere high school graduate. My first employment was on Nov. 3, 1969 wherein I am only 16 years and 9 months. I was hired by STN now PT&T just because of my connection or backer. I became a radio technician and after few years I was promoted to radio and carrier installer. I left the company in March of 1975 and joined the RTW market. By 1977 I joined Francisco Motors thru its dealer Rican Motors in Pampanga. I became the top salesman in my first year. I was pirated by a franchised dealer of General Motors as Branch Manager in Tarlac province. After few months I joined again a new marketing firm Carworld, now a franchised dealer of Mitsubishi. Because of misunderstanding with the management I left and joined Armak Motors as their Sales Manager for Central Luzon. The production of Armak Motors was more than doubled during my stint. After a year I joined Amante Motors with the same position.

Jan. of 1984,I decided to go out of the country for greener pasture, the kids are about to go to school. I left the Philippines last Nov. 6, 1984 as an Emergency Technician to join the Electricity Corporation of Saudi Arabia, a 100% government entity. By 1985 I became the only Electrical Safety Inspector of the company. 1995 I have to work as an electrical technician for only Saudi nationals are allowed to work with Safety and Security Dept. Now I am working as an Emergency Technician in the city of Hail, Saudi Electricity Company. Electricity Corp. and Sceco were absorbed by the new private company, Saudi Electricity Co.(SEC)
