Bem, it would be nice but underappreciated man gud tawon sila diha sa ato oi.  It's not that we don't have teachers kay naa gani but grabeh kagamay sweldo busa dili jud motivated.  I have a cousin in Oroquita who graduated two years ago and up to now she is just receiving allowance of 1,500 a month - pesos na ha from their barangay.

sus te! the very same reason why i prefer not to practice my field here.. intawn kakapoy ani tas ako pay mutapar if di balance...to think dili ra ang teller responsible every transaction..hehe:)

naka work diay pod ka sa bank, Bem?

wala. hehe. pro te. ako bya na course so ka imagine nako wat ako buhaton.. and in the first place d mani ako course by choice..so d jud ko mu enjoy didto ate..

most of my friends nga gkan c.center then nag bank, ganahn na mu undang bank.. gamayan cla sweldo te and kapoyan sa work..hehe katilaw naman gud c.center

Bem, kapoy jud hinuon work sa banko especially teller.  Kana daghan tawo unya baho pa jud money sus kaluoy di pwede mag lingkod lang while ga ihap money oi kay pinaspasa na gud na dayon! Having said that, I worked in the bank for more than 10 years but I mostly enjoyed my stint in the bank.  Kapoy alright ilabi na year-end, month-end, quarter-end and all the ends!  Sahay gud noh, di ko mo biya sa office until past midnight but ok ra.  I still would want to work in a bank.

Congratulations Mr. Atienza!
