It is kind of creep by how someone basically...stalked by family, but my Grandfather is an important man to the environment in the Philippines. He is the "Father of Philippine Wildlife" or " Father of Philippine Conservation." He was a world renown scientist (Ornithologist and a Mammalogist) and a professor at Silliman University at Dumaguete City. Then he transferred to the Mindanao State University. Then in the mid 70s he went to the University of the Philippines at Los Banos, Laguna. One thing I am sad about is being born in this generation. All of my older siblings were able to talk with my Grandfather and me...being the youngest among the first 11 grandchildren...was unable to meet him. Well, I was able to meet him, but he was old already and he wasn't well.
Anyway, he makes me want to do my best and succeed since he was a very educational and strict man. My entire family and my Grandfather are my biggest influences in all that I do really. When I feel down, I remember by family. Enough said.
I am happy someone uploaded his picture online. :D
I met your grandpa in Los Banos a while back through his daughter Ardee.
ReplyDeleteHe was a good man.
