My phone’s alarm went off three times to be sure I would surely wake up early. Our call time is 8:30 am.
We’re going on a field trip (sort of) I have to wear comfy shoes, parehong palpak itong nadala ko. Mali.
My intention was to skip the buffet breakfast. I went down to the coffee shop at 9 am. My colleagues were done with their breakfast and have gone up to their rooms to wash up. Atty. Arnel Casanova, President & CEO of BCDA was the only one left kasi he was busy with his Ipad.
I ended up eating na rin, but not a lot. I had meat ball soup, dimsum and some fresh fruits.
I resisted eating my favorite croissants.
We’re leaving the hotel at 9:30 am for the visit to a technology park.

Okay let’s go. I rode in the van provided by MECO

____, Ambassador Tony Basilio, Me again, MECO Director & CFO Manuel Dimaculangan
There was a short introduction and welcome held at TECO Group’s auditorium. I had the privilege to have met the chairman of this publicly listed highly diversified conglomerate, Mr. THEODORE M. H. HUANG
He’s genuinely nice and such a down to earth fellow, despite being tremendously successful. He instantly earned my respect and admiration.
This is Hoyt Tillman, Director of Century Development Corporation, I supposed the real estate arm of TECO and developer of the whole ten hectare vertical Nan-Kang software complex.
Kala ko we would tour the whole 10 hectares

TECO has developed fiber optic clothing materials. Imagine glowing in the dark yung palda ko? Ano kaya’ng purpose? Kung nakatira ka sa bukid at wala pang kuryente para madali kang mahanap ng mga alitaptap, akala ikaw ang nanay nila.
Sobra silang hi-tech and lahat na yata ng gamit natin meron sila. Home appliances, industrial motors, electronics, optronics, logistics, computers, electrical motors for vehicles, inverter refs and NO-DETERGENT washing machine among others.
TECO manufactures under OEM for Canon and other known brands.
The flat tv in my hotel room is by TECO
