Bob,     Grateful and glad to hear from you.  Yes, my wife, Tessie, and I are in the US.  We have two children, Robert Michael, 25 yrs old and Julia Victoria, 23 who are both professionals now.  RM an architect, is with the Design Engrs' office of Jollibee,  while JV a communications major of De LaSalle is with Marketing of Metro Lab.     I have been very blessed by the Lord.  He gave me a family who withstood with my convictions and principles as I went through my Military Service.  Yes, there were times when my kids expressed wonder why we did not have a big house, luxurious cars and many fringe benefits other officers of the AFP enjoyed but they did not allow me too, to compromise for fear of loss of honor especially when I am gone.  The Almighty has stood by us through out, filling all the needs when it came.  As I look back to the dangers, sickness and financial problems that I and my family faced then and came through,  I can't ask for more.  As I always tell my mom and sisters, "With God beside me, when it rains, it pours".     Tell me Bob, are you in farming too?  If you are, I can tell you all my experiences as a farmer next time.     Give my regards to Alice.
