After our call last week for MSC Alumni to tell us their stories, we received numerous emails with testimonials and stories about how their MSC experience helped them in their careers:
We also received feedback from former scholars and some parents:

Once when I was with my brother Rene’s Balikbayan family in the dried fish market in Taboan, Carbon, Cebu City, we bought some “danggit” and “pusit.”
As we were concluding the transaction, Manang Vendor exclaimed: “Ang Galing Mo Sir!”
Unexpectedly, I realized that Mental Math is always useful, even when haggling with dried fish vendors!
We have busy bees exploring the MSC Green Campus. Specifically, we have a very Busy V (let us agree to use the name Veronica, to refer to this Busy V) doing the exploring, and documenting the rich flora and fauna found in the garden campus through her special blog site Busy Bees.
Moth, science and computing?
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? It is an arctiid moth (looks similar to Alona lactinea) in the MSC Campus!
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it is a moth found in the MSC Green Campus!
Our Busy V reminds us that it is almost Moth week! ( yep, Moth, not Math ) with this beautiful moth picture.
Can your child mentally calculate problems like these in less than one minute?
a. 456 + 997 =
b. 400,000 – 83,629 =
c. 73 x 77 =
d. 112 x 104 =
e. 476 x 999 =
Even a grade school student can mentally solve these after only a few hours of MATH-Inic classes!

MATH-Inic is a series of special Math courses that combines the best of speed arithmetic and mental math techniques to enhance math learning. It introduces fun, fast and easy ways of computing Math problems and enriches traditional Math classroom lessons through new solving techniques.
Some people consider the first three shortcuts too easy, since they involve only addition and subtraction. But one must admit, any multiplication beyond the simple multiplication table is really cool and amazing, and done with some showmanship, is in the realm of the Mathemagical.
Multiplication with a power of 10 is trivial ( just add zeroes, right? ), so let us proceed to the simplest multiplication trick – Multiplying by 11.

Bago pa man dumating ang graduation ng High School, nag-set na ako ng plano sa aking buhay.
I was aware that sending me to College would be expensive for my parents. This was my basis to come up with a decision in taking a 2-year course first, then find a job and continue my education for a 4-year degree course.
I prayed to God and submitted my dreams to guide me and show me the right way to walk through. I was surprised when I received a letter from MSC regarding my 100% scholarship for a short course in Computer Operation. I was surprised … then I grabbed that opportunity.
On 1997, I finished my 2-year Computer Technology Course, which was full of training and hands-on experiences.
Ang hirap mag-apply ng trabaho! Buti na lang nandyan ang MSC para pansamantalang kanlungan at lalo ka pang bibigyan ng mga actual training. MSC gave me priceless skills and abilities which I treasure up to now. Ito ang nagamit ko sa aking kasalukuyan trabaho upang mapa-bilib ang mga boss ko, Akala kasi nila magaling ako, ang di nila alam MSC ang nagturo sa akin noon.
I was recommended by the President of MSC, Sir Ike to CARD Bank, Inc. I was interviewed by the President of CARD Bank and hired as (probationary) IT Assistant. After 5 months I received my regular appointment and later promoted to IT Officer.
After five years of working with CARD Bank, I decided to resume my studies and took up Accountancy. I was promoted to IT Manager, and later graduated from College.
What drives me to improve my career? Maybe I was influenced by my late father who was a teacher. My father was a working student. Magtatapas (coconut farmer) siya sa umaga at napasok sa gabi. Naging 2nd honor siya noong high school at 1st honor noong college. Hindi naging sagabal kay itay ang pagiging mahirap para makapagtapos.
I may have not received any honors during my study like my father. He may not see me now and witness what I have accomplished. But I hope he is happy for me and proud of me, “My son is now a Certified Public Accountant!”.

My life at VYP-MSC Institute of Technology is something that I will always be proud of, and look back to. Its good people and the friendly learning experience helped me find out more about my abilities and interests. Thanks to the decision I made to take Office Management Course at MSC. My certificate has certainly served as my passport to my career.
In my entire career, I never saw myself working in stressful business environments till I made my very hard decision of leaving the country eight years ago, armed with the dream of finding greener pasture. My new start abroad wasn’t very disappointing as I found a job after a month in a huge oil and gas organization. Carrying my valid MSC certificate, good computer skills, knowledge and good training plus my faith in God, I was given the chance to work as a Project Secretary in the offshore project team. That was the first entry-level job I had which was not easy for me in the beginning – working with a multi-cultural team.
Like any other Filipino worker, I experienced discrimination, being the only Filipino and female member in the project team. However, with each passing day, I felt it funny that people started coming to me for help. It was undeniably my computer skills and not-so-bad English skills that have helped me to survive and gain respect from my co-workers.
The secretarial course is in high demand in every business settings. It is a course which must be encouraged. I found job stability with this career and indeed opened for me other career options. My good accounting training at MSC led me to my present job, responsible for administrative and accounting functions.
I can say every school will give a piece of paper that would help one to acquire knowledge and skills, but very few can actually give you both, to be successful in your chosen field. This I can say: “I have found both at MSC”.
My MSC experience was indeed incredible and helped me find the right career.

Ang “MSC Advantage” ay ang kaibahan o kalamangan ng mga mag-aaral at ng mga nagsipagtapos sa MSC kaysa sa mga nagsipagtapos sa ibang paaralan.
Una sa mga ito ay ang ekstensibong pagsasanay sa “computers.” Mas mahaba ang oras na ginugugol sa paggamit at pag-aaral ng kompyuter kaya nagiging mahuhusay ang mga mag-aaral dito.
Katuwang ng ekstensibong pagsasanay ay ang mga gurong nagtuturo sa MSC. Ang mga guro dito ay tunay na mga propesyonal sa asignaturang itunuturo nila kaya ang natututunan ng mga mag-aaral ay mga ginagamit at ginagawa sa aktwal na buhay.
Ang guro sa “computer repair” ay tunay na nagkukumpuni ng kompyuter; ang guro sa “programming” ay tunay na gumagawa ng “programs” ; at ang guro sa “bookkeeping” ay tunay na “bookkeeper.”
At ang mga guro sa MSC ay may mga kredensyal sa pagtuturo na naayon sa kwalipikasyon ng Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA).
Pagdating naman sa pag-hahanap ng trabaho ay lamang pa rin ang galling sa MSC.
Marami sa mga institusyon sa Lungsod ng San Pablo ang nakasanayan na ang pagkuha ng empleyado na nagtapos sa MSC.
Hindi lamang dahil sa kilala na ang MSC sa larangan ng kompyuter, kundi dahil din sa subok na nang mga kompanya dito ang galing ng mga nagsipagtapos sa MSC.
Lamang pa rin ang MSC sa “National Certification” o NC, isang pagsusulit na ibinigay ng TESDA sa mga magsisipagtapos sa mga kursong teknikal.
Sa taong ito, 86.4% ang nakapasa mula sa MSC. Ito ay malaking kalamangan kumpara sa ibang “computer schools” na halos walang pumasang mag-aaral.
Mahalaga ang pagsusulit na ito dahil ito ang katumbas ng “board exam” sa ibang mga kurso.
Sa larangan naman ng “scholarship” ay may bagong paraan upang makapag-aral sa MSC nang kaunti lamang ang magagastos.Ito ay bukod pa sa ibang “scholarships” na iniaalok ng MSC sa kanila.
Sa pamamagitan ng Barangay Scholarship Program ay ihahanap ng “sponsor” ang mga mag-aaral at ang halagang ibibigay ng “sponsor” ay tutumbasan ng MSC.
