Pagpasensyahan nyo na po…. Galing po ako sa mahirap na pamilya, kaya noon, wala na ako pag-asa makapag-college… Salamat na lang may MSC, nakapag-aral ako at sa tulong ng naging amo ko sa Tiaong.

MSC was my Guardian
In 1993, I went to Tiaong, Quezon and I worked for the former chief of Police in Tiaong, Quezon.
His name is Martin Magnayon. They were a supplier of hogs in the local market.
They used me as the caretaker of hogs from birth to fattener. I was taking care of 13 mother pigs and it usually delivered more than 10 piglets 3 times a year.
Our agreement, aside from monthly salary, they would give me a commission of one piglet if the mother pig delivered more than 10 piglets.
In 1994, I decided to go to college since I was already a high school graduate from General Santos City before I came to Tiaong.
First semester in SY 1994-1995, I enrolled at LC and I felt happy because I can pursue my college education and ready to be a professional someday.
But no! The tuition fees almost stopped me. It was high for me, so I could not afford to continue my studies. Before the second semester started in the same school year, I tried to search for other good schools in San Pablo City.
I found the same course in AMA and STI. But the tuition fees were almost the same.
Finally I found one of the small advertisements of MSC, located at M. Paulino St., San Pablo City. I went there and I inquired. They offered me the scholarship examination for the same course.
I was one of the lucky students because I got a 10% discount. I continued studying in MSC, San Pablo City while working in Tiaong as helper.
Still I had money problem during this semester. I didn’t have enough money to support my ambition. I just finished the second semester and then stopped. So I went back to continue my career, “hahaha! as hog raiser of my boss’ backyard piggery farm.
I stopped for a year and thought my ambition was no longer possible.
By school year 1996-1997, I had a little money, so I enrolled again. MSC was located already in La Suerte building along Rizal Avenue, San Pablo City. I has a lot of experiences and fond memories as a college student. We formed good friendships.
I met a lot more friends than usual, since I was an irregular student. My classmates were from the afternoon shift and evening shift and sometimes from morning shift, especially in the PE subject.
School year 1997-1998 was the final year of my Computer Technology course.
In the first semester of that school year, I applied as Student Assistant to Sir Ike. Being a student assistant helped me a lot, since as such, my tuition fee was discounted 100%!
In this semester, Mr. Adonis Duma selected me as one of the instructors in the tie-up school. I was assigned to teach computer subjects in DEBES elementary school.
So on top of my tuition, MSC provided by my allowance.
In the second semester, I worked as a technician in MSCNet, the first Internet Provider in San Pablo City.
I graduated the Computer Technology course in March 1998.
After this course, I enrolled in a 2-year Computer Technician course, and again took advantage of the 100% discount. I learned a lot in MSC, while studying, including a lot of actual and real work.
In the late 1999, MSC brought me to Pasig City to work in the prestigious company, Software Ventures International as Computer Technician (Hardware Maintenance Group). I worked under the supervision of VYP, Jr. (Sir Toto).
Currently I am working as IT Support Engineer in Al Arrab Contracting Company, a general contractor in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
I am proud to say I am a product of MSC!
I would like to thank the MSC Teachers and Staff during my stay in my Alma mater. Thank you, Mr. Adonis Duma, my adviser. Special thanks also to Mr. VYP, my mentor who stood as my adopted father during my MSC days.
