My awards


Here are the two awards that I received when two organizations recognized my effort to uplift the lives of my fellow watchmakers through my teachings and my own version of local watch testers. At the left side was a commendation trophy for meritorious achievements as Filipino product awarded to me by NEPA (National Economic Protectionism Association) in November 19, 1993. The other one at the right is an award given to me as "Inventor of the Year 2003" and the engraving says "For improving the manufacture, production and popularization of locally-made materials in the making and repair of watches, and for the technical services he provides to the growing local watch-making industry, and this evidently underscores his exemplary contribution to applied sciences." The award was given to me during the "10th Night of the Leading Top Ten Ceremony in December 30, 2003 at Silangan Hall, Cultural Center of the Philippines.

My first indoor giant clock.




I have almost finished working with my new design of indoor giant clock movement and this movement is going to be housed in a frame made of quality wood with an antique design of dial. The size of this clock is 90cm in diameter and the hands are made of aluminum while the movement is all brass and steel. From the past I have installed tower clocks from 1 meter up to 4 meters wide and the movement that I used is really huge and heavy duty and this is the first time that I made smaller movement intended for big hotel lobby, hall, stadium and others.
I have also made my own special cutter to cut the size of gear teeth I need just like in the picture shown.
