Thanks for the info. You don't know how happy I really am to see how
aolis has really progressed and its contribution to the operations of
the university. I feel like crying reading at the report remembering
all the hardships and difficulties we have been through in order for
aolis to be ranked in where it is right now. I also feel so proud
about you guys for all the efforts and sacrifice you have given for
aolis. I guess I was right when I said that the success of aolis will
mark the seat of our beloved computer science department and put it in
its right place. I remembered when the department seemed to be
floating from one college to another and not having a unique identity
of its own. Finally the foundation for the cs dept. has been
established and its mission for the university and other sda
institutions has been well defined so we know exactly the purpose why
we need to graduate computer science students.

I am proud of all of you there and your achievements. I will continue
to pray for your success and hope to assist you financially ASAP for
future projects. 

I still have many wild dreams for aolis
and as long as there is an advance in technology, then aolis will
always be there to implement. Keep up the good work and God bless you
all.

Note: Sir Todd N. Olarte, who now resides in the US, was the one who started the Computer Science Program in PUC/AUP. The computer science people were the ones who made AOLIS. The team was composed of Sir Todd, Sir Ton Pamintuan, Sir Ben John Francisco, Sir Dennis Rondael, Sir Giovanni Ibale, and me, Winelfred Pasamba. Giovanni withrew from the project to pursue other things in the musical (great in sax) and wireless (one of the first cellphone entreprenuers in aup) areas.

Sir Ton's involvement in aolis was minimal after its development. He later went to the US with his family.

On 2002 Sir Todd left with his family for the US leaving Dennis Rondael to take care of the Compuer Science Department, and me in AOLIS; praying, as Elisha did, on Elijah's departure, for added wisdom in doing the assigned work.

About this time Ben John was already a regular worker in SEARCA (www.searca.org) in UPLB Campus and has his own web development business (www.bgfweb.com).

By 2005, the Computer Science Department was still alive and led by Windell Shem G. Pasamba, the brother of Winelfred. Newly added teachers were Glenson Carlo Galupo, and Kathy Joy Inkinen, both new graduates of our own BSCS Program. It is worthy to note that Glenson, Kathy, Shem, and Dennis are all Magna Cum Laude BSCS AUP Graduates. Also Ben John was awarded Cum Laude after finishing BSMath and BSCS in 4 years (of playing starcraft...).
