An Interview with Fernando Vimar M. Vitug

Here is Mr.Fernando Vitug's response to the e-mail that we sent him. He is currently out of town so we also just interviewed him through email.

1. From what high school did you graduate from? From which batch?

Philippine Science High School, Batch '85


2. How old were you when you graduated?

I was 16 years old.


3. What were your study habits?

Usually every afterclass, I consult with my teachers for more tips and for a preview of what they're about to teach on the next day. Sometimes, they'll even give you bonus points for your perseverance. Then, during breaks, I discuss our current topics with my classmates. Then, when I go home, I study for the topics that I asked my teachers a while ago and give equal time for every subjects. And lastly, I don't sleep late. I always sleep early. How about if there's an exam, you ask? I sleep early, and I wake up early. You can learn more in the morning because it's like your brain has just been "refreshed" by your sleep.


4. What was your college course?

I took and finished B.S. Electrical Engineering


5. Why did you choose that course?

The main reason I took EE was because I took the advice my parents gave me.They said that judging from my strengths and weaknesses, EE is the most fitting subject for me, and I agree. My favorite subjects in High School were Math subjects and I also love number-crunching.


6. Do you have any advices for the students?

I only have a few advices for the students and most of them have already been mentioned in my study habits. So my first advice is to avoid distractions. Things like your cellphone, gameboys, and IM softwares such as Yahoo Messenger will greatly affect your grades. My 2nd advice is to keep an open mind. You must always be ready to accept new ideas and to understand it. But studying there at Pisay, you must have already acquired this skill of having an open mind. Lastly, don't let your academics interfere with your education. Your grades and cards may put you down in the dumps but it's what you learn that counts. The 1.00 s in your card are just like the icing in the cake.


7. What can the world expect from Pisay graduates?

I think the world can expect a lot from a Pisay Graduate. Not only in things related to Math and Sciences, but also in things related to other subjects as well! I also think that "hybrids" from Pisay will also start appearing one after the other. When I say hybrid, I mean people who have jobs which are unrelated to the course they took. I, myself is one of those "hybrids". I took B.S. EE and now I'm a programmer. It's not that they won't be able to use the skills they acquired in college in their jobs, but on the contrary, they may really be helpful to you!

Our group would like to thank Mr. Fernando Vitug for the interview that he granted us.

Interview With Sir Ed

Hello. This is our interview with Sir Ed. He may not come from Pisay but he's one of the most influential teachers in our school because he was our Guidance Counselor last year and will be again next year. 
 

An Interview with Robert Brian Caparas

Here is Mr. Brian Caparas' response to the e-mail that we sent him. He is currenly not in Manila so we just interviewed him through e-mail.

Here are the questions that we asked him:

1. What is your batch?

2. How old were you when you graduated?

3. What were your study habits?

4. What was you college course?

5. Why did you choose that course?

6. Lastly, any advices for students?

And here are his answers:

1. Batch 98

2. 16 y.o.

3. Study habits...hmmm.. basically I start studying by 8 or 830 pm then usually I sleep at 12 or 1 am. w/ all the assignments, projects and exams/quizzes we have to consider we have to prioritize what's important and urgent. and usually these are the long exams since they have a bigger impact on your grade. if im not able to do my homeworks I usually do those in the morning before the class start. in the dorm my classmates and I divide the tasks to help one another. one person will answer the homework for physics, the other for math, etc. in this way we save time. but what's important is you are able to understand what you copied from your classmate. because during exams you are on your own. projects are usally done over the weekend.

4. my course in college was ece, then after my 2nd year i shifted to me.

5. i really wanted to pursue ECE in college because of my interests and skills in analysing circuits. i know I'm good at it and I enjoy and appreciate what i am learning there.looking back i would have finished it. but during our time we had issues w/ the rules the EEE chairman was implementing. let me clear that i didnt have any failing grades when I was in ECE but staying in the dept with all those rules might puts you in a situation wherein you can get kicked out w/ minimal mistakes, considering that the course in itself was already very challenging.

6. I can give you so many advice, but I'll just give the 3 most important that I feel will help you whatever field you decide to pursue:
- accept that life will always be challenging. you really have to work hard and to work smart to get something you consider important. kelangan mo paghirapan yan. you have to be resourceful, creative, innovative, driven and focused if you want to successful. if from the start you already know that anything wont be easy then you will prepare and plan on how to hurdle the obstacles. working smart is better than working hard. though there are many solutions to a problem, try to take the simplest and fastest way. dont make your life more complicated.
- appreciate and celebrate your small achievements but stay focused and driven to reach your ultimate goal. - establish genuine and strong relationships w/ the people around you. this will give balance to your life. it shouldn't be all work/acads. you may be successful but you are alone, do u want that kind of life. also by establishing a good relationship with different types of people, you will\n continue to learn and expand your perspective on a number of topics/subject. by having these connections you can some tasks easier. i hope i was able to help. good luck",1]
