Transitioning

May, 19, 2015

The past few months have been very challenging as I have had to discern and decide about my future engagements in the education profession. I responded to the invitation to serve as Dean of the Graduate School of Management, Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila after having been marginalized in the Graduate School that I helped grow the past 8 years. All good things come to an end and I am very grateful to God for the opportunities to have served. In my senior years I happily heed his call to serve with joy and gladness. Ave Maria, La Madre de Guia.

Karmic Opportunities

Feb.22, 2015

Have been offered some good assignments amid my having been marginalized in my own backyard. God is good. His Providence is karmic.
