My Buena Mano Post - The MSS Pioneering

While I was at my fourth year college, I made some negotiations with the Spinola Sisters in Zamboanga regarding my willingness to teach at their school in my hometown, of course Ipil. I didn’t expect that my stay there at Marcelo Spinola School would change me forever.

Right after my graduation, I applied and was hired at Spinola. Came June 1997, I was assigned to be an adviser of the 3rd year class, which was the pioneering. I didn’t have any thoughts that the students would become special part of my life. They became my closest friends and we would go out anywhere to celebrate our companionship! That was way back 1997 to 1999! How I wish I could go back to those years again and again.

Until now, they're still my friends. Some of them are working at some schools and companies as teachers, others have already married and have their children, some are working abroad... Some of them are my regular "drinking buddies" and some are just regular friends... but wherever they may be or whatever they might have been into now, they are part of the strings that are forever attached to my life.
