Ok. Buhay pa ako! So near and yet so far.

Here are some updates on about me:

• I now live in Makati, but I still consider Bagong Pag-asa my home. I work in Makati as Head of Agency Training of Manulife Philippines. I use to be connected with Philam Life fron 1992 to 1996 as Senior Agency Development Officer. I joined Manulife Feb 1, 1996. Prior to being part of the corporate world, I taught for 10 years at Philippine Science High School and during that time I was a Fulbright Exchange Teacher at Los Angles Centre for Enriched Studies for one year teaching algrebra, geometry, calculus to senior high students. When I finished my MBA (at UP Diliman) I decided to try it our in the private sector and was hired by Philamlife. I am now 10 years in the life insurace industry.
• I am single (by choice) with no children (that I know of). I take care of my parents who now both retired government employee, a brother who is a "special child" although he is in his 30's already.

• I am currently living in West Los Angeles, CA. Been in the States for a little over 10 years. My first job was as a loan processor for a mortgage broker and then was a property manager for shopping centers for 6.5 years. Currently, I am the team lead underwriter for a mortgage bank. I got so tired of the stress of being property manager that I went back to my "roots" in mortgage loans. I decided however to be "on the other side of the fence" and do the money lending this time.
• I am married to Arnald Valdeavilla, from Quezon Province and we have two children, Patricia, who just turned 10 on 7/24 and Ryan, 3 years old.
  
  Unknown to many, I named my daughter Patricia as a promise to myself to name a daughter after Mrs. Patricia Aguilar, 1st year English teacher from Scientia, who for reasons that escape me now, I admired then.
  
  My stay here in the States is also a fulfillment of another promise that I made to myself when I visited here in 1971. This is where I've wanted to live since then. I've tried in 1982 and 1986 but only my 1992 try gave me some headway. Too many adversities, as I didn't come here on any scholarship; job training or family petition like some of you have been blessed with. Thankfully, I've survived all the challenges thru, of course, the grace of God and among other things, the help and moral support of high school friends, Linabelle and Minerva.

• I am the Exec Housekeeper of Herald Suites, this is where we had our reunion last 1999 for Debbie. I've been in the hotel industry since we graduated from college, having worked at Puerto Azul, Mla Hilton and ThePeninsula. I'm Makati based.
• I only have one child, a boy, ten years old, grade 5.

I live in Carmel, IN (suburbs north of Indianapolis) with my husband, Todd and 3 boys: Mark (14) who will be in high school (9th grade) this year, Tim (12) will be in 7th grade and Michael (19 months). I work for Dow Chemical as an Architecture Specialist (in the Info Tech area).

It would be interesting to see where everyone else is and what they are doing these days. Good luck in collecting and putting this together.

I am off to Manila for an emergency management meeting but here are my response to your questions:

1. Where are you now and what are you doing?

I have been living in Puerto Princesa, Palawan for the last 10 years. I came here first in 1989 when I was briefly involved as Consultant coordinator for the Asian Development Bank in a project called Palawan Integrated Area Development Project. My husband Hugh and I came for a holiday in late 1992 ( while living in Malaysia) and both loved the place. We decided to stay almost immediately.

I am the Manager for Pilipinas Shell Foundation Inc in Palawan for almost 3 years now. As such I am involve in a lot of sustainable development projects that have substantial impact to the members of the communities where Shell has interest. At the moment I have the following projects that I am implementing with partner agencies:

• The Kilusan Ligtas Malaria - a community based approach to malaria control covering 344 barangays all over the province of Palawan.
• The Malampaya Sound Ecological study - a project with the World Wildlife Fund to study the habitat of the Irrawady Dolphins and its conservation. The project includes providing alternative livelihood for the fishermen communities in the areas surrounding the Sound.
• SAKA - a 1 year scholarship program on agricultural entrepreneurship for the out of school youth.
• SKIL - a scholarship program for out of school youth for vocational skills. This year out of 68 scholars from Palawan, Toyota Philippines accepted 48 OJTs.
• Integrated Farming Bio-Systems - a 10 day in house training for farmers to teach them new agri technologies, farm planning, soil testing, etc. It aims to enhance the productivity of the farmers.
• Solar Powered Mud Crab livelihood Program - provided livelihood for communities in areas with no power. 6 cooperatives are now beneficiaries to this program.
• Rural Electrification Program (with the Dept. of Energy) - Shell has provided subsidy for Palawan's far flung Barangasy to avail of alternative sources of energy such as solar systems.
• Palawan Adventist Hospital Charity Program - Shell has upgraded the hospital to a first class tertiary hospital and has provided a Charity program to complement it and in order for the poor Palawenos to be able to afford medical care.

2. Name of spouse, Kids, ages and grade levels

Husband: Hugh Robert Trudeau, Canadian
International Fisheries Consultant

Daughter: Ai NHi Veronica (Nguyen) Trudeau, 7 yrs Grade II (We are still in the process of adopting our daughter who we fondly call Nini. We got her when she was 3 1/2 years old. Because she is from the Vietnamese Refugee Camp, we are in the long process of adoption. In the hearing yesterday, we may be able to complete this process by October).

I would have love to share some more of my experience in Palawan, my keenness to be involve in community services and the many ways I got over the stumbling blocks ( political, cultural and economic) that arose in the process of helping the communities........Next time.

1) Where you are now and what you are currently doing.

I am still in QC. My house is situated along the intersection of Mindanao Ave. and Congressional Ave. I think I'm the nearest to Scientia(?).

I own an animation studio in Mo.Ignacia, malapit sa Channel2. Its called Toon Manila Production. I take projects mostly from Europe and Australia, so exporter ako. Website ko: www.toonmanila.com . At the moment, my studio is doing a t.v. series from Germany. And we are now into crunchtime, or sometimes, its called 'panic-time', kaya dilingkwente ako sa mga meetings... pasensya na Boss Manny ha! Sana magustuhan nyo yung t-shirt design ko.

I am planning for a trip to Munich in a couple of months time, so Lilybeth, if ever I decided to cross the English channel, I'll email you right away. (Actually, it will depend on how healthy my pocket will be when I'll do my trashing.)

2) Name of wife, kids, ages and grade levels.

presently i dont have a job. My contact with the NGio i was working with for the past year and a half did not renew my contract. I do some water water finding expeditions for some mission agencies and that keeps me busy these days but in the lull time, I am the houseband. Nothing being sorry about. I am raising three girls to become responsible ladies. Actually, I get high doing ground water exploration and i do have a high batting average finding water.

Wife Armi Acuna Martinez Who works as a training officer for an NGO

Kid; Tisha Nami Martinez 16 years old (The writer among the brod)
Kyra Phyllis Martinez 11 years old (the Charlotte Church of the Family and the sports buff in the family)
Mignon Blythe Martinez 5 years old (the life of the family)

so long. I hate to say this but I really got pissed again with the science high school when they still admitted the students who had more failing marks than Tisha. Shame on them.

• we're now living in sta. rosa laguna. we moved here in 1997, under irresistible circumstances. meaning, we were made to leave Kamuning, where I practically lived all my life, in exchange for fresh air and a house & lot, all for free! the air we still breathe, the house & lot, we had to forego for reasons beyond our control. that's a long story really, but a reminder for us, that nothing in this world is permanent.
• my official designation in my present job is Executive Assistant to the Chairman. i am in charge of HRD/Admin basically. Desz, on the other hand, is Exec. Asst to the Secretary of Energy. One of his main functions actually is media relations. see, i told you, he has actually gone out of his shell.
• Our children:
  Dino Rafael is 15, 4th year
  Dana Michelle, 13, 2nd year
  Deo Gabriel, 11, Grade 6
  Danielle Angela, 5, Kinder

• I work with Ortigas & Company, a property developer and manager here in RP. I am CFO.
• Of course I am married and happily at that, to Ma. Mina, our gracious hostess on our sunday get together
• I have 4 kids Mike is 16 and is 4th year high school, Khristine, who cooks our merienda every sunday, is 14 years old and is in 2nd year high school. Czarina, is 12 and is in 1st year high school and my youngest is Marianne who is 8 and is in 3rd grade. I guess since we hold most of our meetings at my place, and it is the official address of Scientia '77 Alumni Assoc. Inc. you know where I live.

• My family is still living in the same old house in Quezon City. I am a medical doctor but an epidemiologist (not a dermatologist!) by training. This means I am more of a public health practitioner than a clinician. I work well with health data and computers, less with a stethoscope and neurological hammer. Right now I am with a non govt organization as a technical advisor for regions 4,5,6 and 10 and that's why my PALsmiles are increasing by leaps and bounds.
• I am married to Robert, my husband of 10 years, and we have three crazy kids: Bea, Alung and Mark 9, 7 and 3 years old respectively.

I joined the corporate ranks after graduating from UP in 1981. Aside from corporate work, I also briefly worked for the government, taught College Math part-time in the evenings, and took MBA courses at De La Salle University as a part-time student. I received offers in 1986 for graduate assistantships in the US so I went off to the US for further education. I pursued an M.S. in Statistics degree at the University of South Carolina in Columbia, S.C and completed the requirements for graduation in 1988. Having been urged to take the Ph.D. candidacy exams by my advisor and passed it, I was faced with the decision to pursue higher education or re-join the corporate life. Corporate life won partly because I was more interested in using my newly acquired skills in the real world and partly because, by then, my fiance Erik was already working in New York. I felt a doctorate degree could wait.

I was then able to find a job at a pharmaceutical company in northern New Jersey. Erik and I got married that same year and jumped with both feet into our careers - taking classes and getting additional professional certifications/credentials in the evenings. Erik, by the way, is Caucasian of Scandinavian and Germanic heritage, was born and raised in the US. We met at USC. Erik actually worked in a building right next to the World Trade Towers. Fortunately, he did not experience the first bombing in 1993 because he was away on a business trip at the time.

In late 1993, after a trip to Hawaii and having celebrated our 5^th wedding anniversary, we were ready to start having children (my biological clock was ticking, you know). As fate would have it, we were pregnant within a couple of months and our bundle of joy arrived in the summer of 1994. We were blessed with a healthy baby boy we christened Nathan. It was important for me to be able to take care of Nathan, especially during his infancy, so I took the maximum leave I was legally allowed to take before going back to work - on one hand 20 weeks felt too long to be away and too short on another! I guess you could say that I definitely shifted to lower gear and moved my career track to middle lane after Nathan's arrival. (BTW, Nathan also happened to be the name of one of my best students in SC.)

A couple of years later, we decided to relocate to San Francisco when my husband joined a bank based there. I ended up joining the same bank as one of its Directors and then later left when the bank got too tight for both of us to be in (his area of responsibility was starting to cover the area I was in). I decided I wanted a new position with less management responsibilities and accepted a job doing what I have wanted to do for a long time at Visa International - doing artificial intelligence, statistical, and data mining stuff. I took it even though it meant a longer commute for me from our home in San Francisco. And, I was glad I did that because it turned out to be the job that I have enjoyed the most in all of my professional life and it also afforded me with the time and energy I wanted to spend for our son.

In late 1998, my husband's career path threatened to take me away from the job I loved when he was given an opportunity to work and live in Singapore. To my delight, my management decided to arrange a transfer of work location for me (to the Singapore office) doing the same thing I love to do - a first of its kind in the company for a non-Senior Executive position. So, we sold our house and belongings then moved to Singapore in early 1999. My responsibilities have increased a couple of times since I joined the company and it has given me more opportunities again to work with people from all over the world while maintaining the core part of the job that I enjoy the most.

I guess I can say that, for now, I am enjoying the best of both worlds in my work. Oh, these come at a price, though - working with people in different time zones mean that I can not count on working strictly 9 to 5 (I do switch around working Asian, American, and European times). But, I feel the best part of it is that it still leaves me with the flexibility to spend a lot of time with our son and take a very active role in raising him. Being involved in his activities has given me the opportunity to engage in things I have either dropped a long time ago or never had the opportunity to enjoy when I was a child.

My life is certainly not a bed of roses but, I can say that, I am thankful - on both the professional and personal front - for the enabling computer and communications technology we now have in these times!

And now, the balancing act continues...

EDOY

Batman,

Kamusta ka na? I hope you are not pissed at me anymore for all my kapalpakan to you. If you still are - then I am sorry! I'm glad to hear that you got re-married and doing well over there in Canada. Is he a Canadian or a Filipino? Whoever he is, he is lucky to have you(sumisipsip parin ako,he!he!).

Anyway, with regards to your email about the questionnaire, I wasn't able to forward it to anybody because I just got it today. So I'll just do my part and submit to you my answers to the questions.

• Name of Spouse - Elizabeth
• Name of Children - Noelle Marie(16 yrs old), Isabelle Elise(1 yr 5 months)
• Entered PMA and graduated 1982. Served in AFP until 86. Migrated to the US and took up Computer programming.
• I now work for Blue Cross of California as a Senior Programmer dealing with company Intranet and other Web related work.
• I took up running as a pastime and have run a couple of marathons like LA marathon, San Diego and Long Beach.
• Dreams,Plans - I will have my own dot com business
• Fondest Memories in HS - hanging around in the talahiban with a couple of the guys smoking/drinking,talking about nothing, no cares in the world
• famous last words - Now is How!

I am currently situated in Piscataway, a small old town in New Jersey that I now call my home for the past 9 years already. I work as a computer consultant doing things that I never imagined doing while still in school. I finished with a bachelor degree in Mathematics, took my Masteral degree (also in Mathematics), taught university math, and almost went to a university in US for my PhD (again in Mathematics. I don't need to tell you that, do I?). Until I finally realized that everything I have been doing was already boring me so I went to another career, computers where my line of work got me obsessed with data structures, object programming, recursion, and code optimization.

It was at work where I met my future wife, Shirley, with whom I have two boys: Remus (named after the twin of Romulus, founder of Rome) and Carlos (named after the great Filipino statesman Carlos P. Romulo, you get the drift, don't you?). They are 12 and 8 years old respectively.

Do you still remember that science fair project that won Kinjo and I the 4th place in regional science fair? It was called a new method of approximating square root of a number. Well, I just believed that there was a potential to that and so through the 4 years in college, I looked at several mathematical theories and came up proving the equation and eventually came up with an expansion of the project. I don't want to bore you with details but I will just say that from just a square root, I was able to expand to a new method of approximating the nth root of a number. That perhaps is what got myself bored with a career in math. I already had discovered something original, the dream of most mathematicians in their lifetime. So what else is there for me to prove? So even though I eventually got bored of math, I still consider that discovery the crowning moment of my life.

someone complained that napakakulit ko daw asking people's personal info. without sharing my own, so here goes:

i've been living in toronto, canada since 1990, after finishing my ms.ed teaching of english as a second language at the fordham university in nuyok.i stayed in nuyok for a total of 5 years, the last two, teaching high school in the bronx and the spanish harlem. (papalag ba kayo?)

i've been teaching english as a second langauge (esl) to new immigrants here in toronto for the past decade, a job i thank God everyday for: no stress, the students are well-motivated and i learn from them everyday more than they learn from me. some of my students' life stories are awe-inspiring, and one day, i wish to write about them, but that's for another forum. currently, i am one of the lead instructors of one of the busiest adult esl centres west of toronto (250 students). my duties are half-time supervisory, which i hate for the paperwork, and half-time teaching, which i made sure was still part of my contract.

i've been married for the past 6 years to larry figura, a polish-canadian( who knows no polish, anyway...), childless, but we have been waiting to adopt from the philippines for more than a year now. i see my life bearing some strong resemblance to my best friend marvi: we both married canadians, and adoption is part of our lives.

unbekownst to many of you, i am an avid hula dancer. i've been dancing the hula since i was 10, but stopped when i became too chubby for my grasskirts, and when mama said there was no more extra money left for hula lessons. when i came to toronto, i joined up with a hula school(there are quite a few here) and we've gone to hawaii twice for hula competitions.i am not as active anymore in my hula school and do only special shows and summer hula camps for kids. now, i have my own not-for-profit business called "Meditative Movement" which encourages volunteer work teaching hula and yoga esp. to seniors. i finally got the first part of my yoga certification this year, but i've been coaching restorative hatha yoga to seniors for sometime now.

this year, i finally made good on one of my long-term goals to finally learn french, and i will be spending two weeks in quebec in august in an immersion program, and staying with a french family. tres bien!

this has been my life in a nutshell. kayo naman!

I am now staying in the city of muntinlupa, south of metro manila where my wife & I practice our profession. I am a surgeon and my wife as an obstetrician-gynecologist. We go around hospitals in muntinlupa, san pedro laguna, & sta. rosa laguna.

I am married to Lyvia last 1992, my friend and classmate in the medical school. I graduated from FEU-institute of medicine '85. Finished my surgical training in Veterans Memorial Medical Center and currently an active surgical consultant in the hospitals at the area. Unfortunately, we have no child yet.

Hi Batman! Here's mine: Sorry for being late!

• I am currently residing in Torrance, California and I came here in the US of A in 1989. I got my MD in 1985 and joined the Philippine Air Force in 1986 as a Medical Officer. Currently, I am working as a Regional Director for a dialysis company (DaVita, Inc.).
• When I was an intern in 1985, I met this beautiful nursing student named Lilibeth and decided to mary her in June of 1989.
• We are blessed with 2 lovely daughters Krisette Maree 12 y/o currently in 7th grade and Kamille Kristin 13 mos.

• Currently in Queens, New York.
• Husband's name is Bernabe
• Kids: Marco 7 y/o and Angelo 10 m/o.

The recipient of a full 4-year Mathematics scholarship at the University of Southern California (USC), I endeavored to switch to Computer Science in my junior year prognosticating a very lucrative income for myself. In my 14.5 years in Information Technology primarily in the aerospace sector, I have held various positions encompassing Software Engineering and Database Design. I have expertise in the fields of Research and Development (R&D) and Operations and Maintenance (O&M). Being the lead architect responsible for the Configuration Management of the Air Defense Communications Platform is a highlight of my career.

In the Fall of 1990, during my stint as a Database Manager for Computer Sciences Corporation involved in real-time distributed networks for the U.S. Marines and Air Force combined operations, I met this handsome blond named Michael Earl, a native Southern Californian while he was an F117 Stealth Fighter Avionics Engineer for Lockheed (then a "black" program). We were married at my local Glendale parish in 1994 with Linabelle as 1 of my 4 bridesmaids. Mike's parents are heavily involved in genealogical research and have traced their ancestry as far back as the early 1800's to Arrochar, Scotland where we visited in 1996.

I'm anticipating graduation as an Oracle Certified Professional (OCP) by December this year. However, I'd really love to immerse myself more into Theology, Apologetics and Hermeneutics, essentially scriptural exegesis or simply stated explanations of biblical text. As a goal, I'd like to exert a positive influence and instill the values of optimism, compassionate capitalism, and enthusiastic faith in young minds.
