The Year that past ... The Year ahead!

01. Yr2005 had been a busy year - but still not financially rewarding. Nevertheless, as an eternal optimist, I look forward to better income from a mix of business opportunites in store for Yr2006. Consider:

• St Gabriel Columbary. Upon request from my Parish Priest (and my Co-workers in the parish) that I continue on, I remain as Project Manager. Despite a mix of "Starting-up" Difficulties in Yr 2005, we were able to solicit P4.5 million worth of "Donation Contracts" in exchange for donors' Choice-of-Crypts. Target "Donation Contracts" for Yr2006 could likely be P45 million. Please visit my website - http://columbary.blogspot.com;
• Felicidad Homes. Top Management of ABBEYFIELD International (a UK-based NGO with worldwide expertise in providing Housing & Healthcare for Seniors) met with me January 11, 2006 - purposely to have a "Look-See" of Barangay Marikina Heights, Marikina City, Metro Manila, Philippines where I (& my Founding Cooperators) plan to put up a specialty "Home-for-the-Elderly" to accomodate 30 solo-living Filipino Seniors. They have promised to share their expertise for free. Please visit my website - http://felicidadhomes.blogspot.com;
• DentaManila Labworks. My American Prospect (who came to visit me June 2005) has responded to my enquiry email and declared that he would be coming back to Manila (March 2006) to push forward our planned Manila-based Dental Laboratory specializing in C&B prosthetics outsourced from the USA;
• Philippine Logistics Academy. Further to my Son's request that I do him a Project Feasibility Study , I prepared a shortlist of Foreign Universities willing to offer their specialty degree & certificate courses in Logistics Management - in collaboration with select Manila-based reputable Local Universities. As Project Proponent, PLA would have exclusive Marketing Rights for this new evolving specialized post-graduate courses to Filipinos (& other Asians) wanting to enhance their Academic & Work Credentials which should eventually qualify our graduates for better Employment Opportunites in the USA & in the EU;

02. For now, Yr 2006 promises to be an exciting year. With God's blessings, I might just then be able to settle my long overdue debts. Keep me in your prayers. Thanks.
