San Josenyong Gala's Community Project Featured in GoodNews at GMANewsTV

Yes, aside from being San Josenyong Gala as the newbie travel blogger, I also dedicate some time for some community projects that I hope would be able to help other people even in just a little way. 


I, together with my best buddy Euel Von Asuncion and two other equally awesome classmates, Jay dela Cruz and Bernadette Magsalin, have been conducting free summer review classes since 2006, even before I have finished my college degree in UP Diliman. The project's aim is to help graduating students of the different high schools of San Jose del Monte City to prepare for the incoming college entrance exams in their senior year without the need to pay exorbitant fees charged by different College Entrance Exam Review Center.



Now on it's 8th Year, the project is now called San Jose del Monte Free College Entrance Exam Review (SJDM FCEER or just FCEER). It is now a very big happy family with many volunteer instructors who were also once student of the project.  

I consider being featured in a TV Show as a very great blessing from God. The very fact that there are people who appreciate what you have done or what you enjoy doing is indeed fulfilling and at the same time, humbling. Many thanks go to people who believed and appreciated what I have done and continues to support me in every little way they can. 

I hope to continue this project in the many years to come, with the help and support of like minded people around me - the whole FCEER Family.

Thank GOD!

    sinong magiisip na yung plinano mo sa harap ng buffet table ng kasal ng isang Batchmate natin, 8 years ago, eh magiging ganito kaprominente brad? ni nanay ata nating apat hindi tayo pinaniniwalaan hehehehe... sa lahat ng pawis na pumatak... sa mga laway na natuyo... sa mga kamay na namuti dahil sa chalk (at dahil na rin wala tayong pambili ng eraser)... sa bawat ngiti, simangot, saya, tuwa, lungkot, galit, inis, respeto at pagmamahal na ibinigay ng bawat isang dumalo, huminto at nagtapos sa FCEER... Maging inspirasyon nawa ang pagkilalang natanggap mo ngayon upang mas paigtingin pa ng bawat membro ng grupo ang kanilang paglilingkod... hindi upang makakamit din ng pagkilala, ngunit upang makapaglingkod ng tapat at bukal sa puso.. Mabuhay ang FCEER.. Manlibre ka Romel hahaha :)
