When Ondoy hit the country, I was, with my officemates, attending the internment of one of our boss...to many of us... "tito ocs". It was really raining hard but still we braved it to Binan, Laguna. Kahit na bumabagyo, i did not regret going to Binan to make my final farewell to Tito Ocs.
Tito Ocs is the strict & serious type of boss. But to a handful of people in his little circle, and I think Im one of them, is a very sensible, objective, the most organized person. I think Im one of the persons he can talk about his children. It started during the time when his daughther entered college in UPLB... he will ask me kung ok sa dorm na un... ok ba pumasok ng org/sorro ung anak nya... he would tell me how he improvise things for her daughters dorm, those sort of things... then his second son also went to LB... hes mighty proud of his children...i havent met them, but when I finally saw them, parang kilala ko na rin sila...
His passing was a shock to us. I can still remember the time I received the text bearing the news that hes gone na, natulala talaga ako. Nag flash back sa isip ko the last time I saw him and its just very recent. Hindi talaga ako makapaniwala. He doesnt smile always... but the last memory I have of him was that he was grining (he joined us in the canteen when our group was having late lunch), masaya siya that time.
I will surely miss the times sa may guard house during our puffing times...
Goodbye Tito Ocs...
