Corregidor, heroes never die they just fade away

Some of the perks of being in the Office (emphasis on capitalization meant) are:

1. free food (via CWS Division where yours truly belongs)

2.(if lucky) bonus grocery give-aways (through AFPCES fluctuating supply of gift checks)

3. minimum zero (by foot), two-peso (via peso ride services) to a maximum forty-peso or US 95 cents (by cab) ride cost of transportation (n/a to non-GHQ residents)

4. per diem pay on out-of-the-city conferences (have not experienced but willing to take part of)

5. free tours (depends)

6. TTH 1500H Athletics (3pm dismissal need I say more?)

7. and of course, remarkable holistic growth.

Underrated as the AFP may seem, it had proved itself to be an imperative catalyst to my growth as an amateur careerist. On a lighter note, let me take number 5 point and let you in one of the tours that I've been lucky to be hitched on.

"It is my earnest hope and indeed the hope of all mankind that a better world shall emerge out of the blood and carnage of the past - a world founded upon faith and understanding, a world dedicated to the dignity of man and the fulfillment of his most cherished wish for freedom, tolerance and justice."
- General Douglas MacArthur
