Passion for Better Ways


Our Company President died last May 17, 2008 and you heard it on the news all over the country. I have come to talk with his long time friend this afternoon. They've been friends since childhood. As a member of our company publication, I was tasked to interview him in his residence inside Insular Village Davao City about Al Aboitiz as a schoolmate, student, and friend. Al is a helpful man, his fellow executives and subordinates will tell you too if you ask. I even received a scholarship from him last 2004 that shouldered all my expenses on college. That includes 100% tuition fee, plane tickets, unlimited books, monthly allowances, reimbursed project expenses, review fees, and more. After passing the licensure exam for electrical engineers, I worked here on his company. My first task? To learn the processes of the engineering division. And after two years, I became one of his Planning and Design Engineers. He knows his people. He wants them to grow professionally.
Our banner is Passion for Better Ways. Our president inspired us to do it that way.
In everything you do, do it SMARTLY not hardly. If you stick around the old ways, you are doing it hardly not SMARTLY unless that way is perfect.
What does it mean, "an idle mind is the devil's workshop?"
