Tribute to my Friends & “Enemies” (Part 7)

 TITA SYLVIA

My mentor for my garments business, she encouraged me to learn everything first before taking the giant leap. I took her advice and studied fashion designing, pattern making, tailoring, RTW sewing, boutique management. She presented to me what to expect in the future. She told me I will be faced with 3 major problems in the workplace: 1) unscheduled absenteeism, 2) procurement of vale because of so-called family emergency, and 3) unavoidable intrigues among the workforce. She patiently oriented me how to deal with these challenges based from her years of experience.

ANGIE AND CHARO

My two “partners in crime” in the school where I took Fashion Designing, Pattern Making, Dressmaking and Tailoring. We would watch movies and eat at Harrizon Plaza whenever we have time. We have become very close friends after that.

CHERRY AND ZENY

We were three’s company when I was still a rookie in the garments subcontracting business. Problems always tormented us but we went through them in a breeze because of the support we extended to each other.
