On the evening of my retirement as Chief, Livestock Research on Nov 28, 1963, me and my entire family were treated in a downtown Chinese restaurant by about 150 colleagues in the Bureau. It was a joyous occasion but a painful separation after 39 years from my former co-employees. When my turn came to talk I could hardly express the words of appreciation after a plaque for outstanding achievement signed by the officials of the Bureau was awarded to me.
When Peping Rodriguez of Luzon Surety learned of my retirement, he asked me to manage the family piggery farm in Montalban. Other owners of piggeries followed suit and they became my retainers like the Mendoza’s in Sta. Maria, De Guzman’s in Had Pinugay and three other piggeries.
Four years later, on Feb 20, 1967, I was surprised when Don Augusto A. Santos of the Prudential Bank gave me the full time job to manage the Superior Feed Mills and Virginia Inc., where I still work up to the time of this Memoirs. In here, I also acquired some experience on the modern treatment of Thoroughbred horses owned by Don Augusto which are bred for breeding and propagation in his three stud farms in Maisan, Valenzuela, In Dadiangas, and Lipa City. I am so occupied that I have to give up my other assignments as Professional Lecturer in Comparative Nutrition (Animal Nutrition or Nutritive IV) in the Philippine Women’s University and on Animal Products Processing in the Araneta Foundation University.
With God’s help, I am still sound in body and soul in spite of my busy days on my present work as consultant in these two sister feedmills.
