By Maria Myla Malicay (Hometown: Cagayan de Oro City) I could still remember the days when I was struggling to get into a flight when I was just a few inches away from the plane that would take me to Hong Kong as stopover and a personnel blocked me informing me that there were a few hitches and I need to sort it out before I could get into their flight. It created a complete embarrassment on my part doing it in front of many passengers! Some were concerned and some threw intriguing glances. Eventually, I did get on that plane after a few hours of making calls and arrangements. Definitely I was...

By Reama Fe Caballas (Hometown: Marawi City) I am truly enjoying my stay here in the U.K. that I didn’t totally notice that it’s been 17 months since I first arrived. It seems that 28 October 2007 was just yesterday. How time flies, really!

By Clef Paracuelles, NVQ in Health & Social Care Level 3 Student (Hometown: Cagayan de Oro City) The excitement I felt knowing that I’ll be going to Great Britain is beyond words can describe. My first wonderful journey started when I first set foot at Heathrow Airport at 4:00 in the morning where I felt the coldness of the wind touching my face and my heart beating of great joy. The MCR Directors personally met us at the airport and took us around London to see spectacular sights which I never thought of seeing them for real. We walked passed through the Tower Bridge of London (mistakenly...

By Morris Carlo Edrolin (Hometown: Cagayan de Oro City) Life was simple and happy back home, I was one of those happy go lucky bachelors and just lived life for the moment and never thought of the future, never have crossed in my mind that someday I would leave the comforts of my family, friends and simple work and hobbies back home. As soon as I got off the plane, I knew my life will be a whole lot different. A lot of myself was still left back home, but upon getting out of Heathrow Airport, my Aunt and my her family and a friend from MCR Ltd. was outside waiting for me with a warm welcome and...

By: Joy Ann Villegas (Hometown: Dipolog City) It was fantastic! MCR Induction is not just the sit-and-listen affair but it is the all-in-one package of learning, excitement, adventure and friendship. – A kind of experience that beats my expectations.

On one hand, it was comprehensive, fun, stimulates knowledge and skill, promotes and equips capability, two-way process of learning and most of all helps build your competence and confidence. On the other hand, Marie, MCR Managing Director is a...
