Cebu Regis Leadership Genogram by Ivy Eleanor Ko

I.             Genogram – Dissecting my Family Tree

A.   Grandparents' (Father Side)

The Uy-Yap clan is very small compared to the families during their generation. A lot of their relatives were still in China. Moreover, they were born during the WWII era, thus life was not easy. Ham Chiong and Yap Tin were originally from China, they met and married in Cebu. Ham Chiong ventured into several businesses to support his family while Yap Tin managed the household. Growing up, Papa said that Angkong is the spoiler, while Ama is the disciplinarian. 

My paternal grandfather, (Angkong), Uy Ham Chong is the eldest in a family of 2 children. I was not able to meet my Angkong, but I know he was very hardworking and loving. I can see this with my dad and his siblings. 

(1)     Ham Chong: Ang Kong arrived Cebu at the age of 4 to escape the harsh life in Amoy, China, together with his parents. He was only able to finish highschool education. To be able to support his family, he did all sorts of job from being a salesman, to producing firecrackers and eventually building misua factory. Most of his business does not prosper due to his lack of business acumen, generosity and good naturedness. He died due to complications bought about by diabetes and heart condition.

(2)   Valerio: Valerio is the adopted brother of Ham Chiong. Though he was never able finish college, his interest in radio and parts motivated him to complete schooling thru correspondence certification exams. This enabled him to operate a big radio and electronics store in the city. He married Betty, and has only one child, Derrick.

Papa's mother, Yap Tin, is the second child amongst a family of 5 children. According to my aunt, Ama's siblings are born with health problems that is why they did not live for long. Ama is very artistic, a good cook, and very fashionable. I just learned her parents had a cloth store when they were younger. 

Reflection No. 3 - Passion by Leader Rophelle Ocampo

Reflection Paper No. 3    

What is your passion (what is it that you love doing?  How is it reflected in your work, daily life, and life's journey.

I love going to different places. I love to meet new people. I love adventure. I love to travel. It is my passion.

Traveling is my outlet where I can be free and escape temporarily from work and even from school. It is also an opportunity for me to reflect and assess myself on my achievements in life, on how blessed I am and how to further achieve more on my set ambitions. 

I love traveling because I am learning something in every trip that I may not have learned from school and work. I was also able to develop myself more especially my self esteem which I need most as I am into the business of talking to different people.

In going out to different places I was able to meet new people, from strangers I have considered some to be my friends. I enjoy listening from their experiences and advices. I became more open minded and has widen my horizon of my beliefs and understanding. 

Adventure is what I also like about traveling. It helps me test my capabilities. Things that I did not know I can do but I was able to do. Traveling helps makes me stronger. It helps me conquer my fears and gives me the feeling of accomplishment whenever I was able to overcome the obstacle.
