Mr. And mrs Tacurda are my former teachers when i was in high school and until our school was converted into college school they are still my teachers.. mr. Tacurda was promoted as campus administraitor in PSU Sagnay while mrs Tacurda is one of the senior instructor in psu Salogon.. They both have a kind hearted heart,they help a lot of students who want to finish thier studies, they adopted some of them and send to school.. Subrang napaka matulungin nilang mag asawa,ang malungkot lng mayroon silang mga pinag aaral pero di inaayos,may mga maagang nag aasawa mayron ding napapabarkada hanggang sa mawalan n ng gana mag aral. Para sakin the best silang mag asawa kaya mahal n mahal cla ng mga nagiging studyante nila.. sa totoo lng c maam strekto sya mag turo pero ang rason kaya sya ganyan ksi gusto niya oag magturo sya kelangan matutu tlaga ang mga studyante niya,pero deep in side napakabait nila pareho.. hngang hanga po ako sa maam prosecutor dahil isa k po sa mga taong nagpasaya sakanilang mag asawa and nakapag bigay inspirasyon sa karamihan.. maraming salamat po..

My congratulations to Atty.Abe. Like you I was a janitor on a government hospital. It took me 7-1/2 years to become a civil engineer working on night shifts and attending classes in the morning and afternoon. I WAS SO LUCKY I was able to pass the CE board exams in 1986. I was able to work with PNOC-EDC from 1987-Aug.2010. I WAS FORCED TO RESIGN .But GOD really rewards people who select honesty rather than corruption. I go against the wind and I flew high. I went abroad and earned a decent living for my family.-Delfin R. Ancheta ( but even abroad corporations are corrupted and Filipinos are most of the time discriminated ). I BECAME A MANAGER but lost my job eventually due to the corruption that is also prevailing overseas.

Ganitong mga tao magpapaunlad sa Pilipinas. Hindi gobyerno ang laging sisi. Hwag umasa sa gobyerno na itaguyod ka sa hirap ng buhay. Ang gobyerno nakadepende sayo sa kontribusyon mo sa lipunan. Tanungin mo muna, may kontribusyon ba ako sa lipunan na aking kinabibilangan o isa lamang akong pabigat? Hindi mahirap ang Pilipinas kung lahat ng mamamayan ay nakatayo sa sarili nilang mga paa.
