NEGRENSE Kristelle Lacang, an Electronics Communications Engineering (ECE) graduate from the University of Negros Occidental-Recoletos (UNO-R), currently works at Warner Bros. World in Abu Dhabi, the United Arab Emirates as its senior rides technician.Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi is an indoor theme park owned and developed by Miral Asset Management.The park features characters from Warner Bros' franchises, such as Looney Tunes, DC Comics, Hanna-Barbera, and others."It has been nearly three years since I worked at this theme park and I can say that a lot has changed," Lacang said, adding that she has become more experienced, skilled and efficient.She gives credit to UNO-R, the institution that honed the person that she is now.For Lacang, facing the real world is challenging and scary, hence, it is essential to build a strong foundation for whatever profession you want to pursue."I am proud to say that I have set the foundation for my ECE family," she said.She stressed that all of us could dream as high as we can fly and as deep as we can dive in an ocean, as far as we can walk but we just have to make the right decisions in life, which she believes she did.Despite her achievement, she continues to dream, which is one step higher than my dream, saying, "who knows what tomorrow may bring?"Asked for a message to those who also want to succeed in life, she said, "just take the first step and never stop believing in yourself and your capabilities with the guidance of the Lord."She came home recently to spend her vacation here with her family. She visited her Alma Mater and met her professor Lea Joy Jaro Hiponia.

Bacoleña Jasmin O. Egan: An exemplary public servant

Posted: 21 Jun 2022 02:43 AM PDT

BACOLEÑA Jasmin O. Egan, Presidential Protocol Director II of the Office of the President, was bestowed with the "Order of Lapu- Lapu" by no less than President Rodrigo Duterte in rites held at the Malacañang Palace recently.The Order of Lapu-Lapu, particularly the Rank of Kamagi, is conferred by the president of the Philippines in recognition of the exemplary service rendered by officials and personnel of both government and private individuals.Receiving such an award surprised Egan, saying that it never crossed her wildest dream as she only worked according to the duties and responsibilities assigned to her."I've never imagined stepping into Malacañang Palace and working for the president, more so getting an award," she said.As she received one of the most prestigious awards a government employee or official could earn, she said no words could describe how grateful she was to be appreciated by her boss-the country's top leader.Egan expressed her gratitude to Duterte, who in a few days' time will relinquish his post to incoming President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos, Jr.The Bacoleña stressed that among the presidents she knew, Duterte was the one who displayed the willingness to risk his own life for the people and treat the Filipinos as his children."He wouldn't care what time of day it is, whether it is evening, dawn, or morning, as long as he could personally check how Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao are doing," Egan shares.Working for the president, Egan said, she witnessed how Dutere showed willingness to travel from one corner of the country to another and see the real situation and plight of the people."While he may have received many criticisms, he continues to lead and speak (and) behind his character lies a bleeding heart (especially) when he sees the situation in the country and never heard him complain," Egan told Sunstar Bacolod.Asked for a message for Duterte, she said, "Though you don't get to sleep nor eat as much yourself because you always think about work... you always ask if we've already taken our meal and if we had enough sleep (and) the energy you exude is like that of a newly released machine."
