Rizal Philippines

Three weeks ago, I was informed by a secretary of the GS that being 65: I would not be renewed anymore for teaching load nor attend final defense of students. It could be the occasion to be sad and start feeling useless. The teaching job was a no money issue but simply that was love of leaving a legacy
However many things came out and they were opportunities, far better than teaching:
1. Invitation to be director of a just bought rural bank. It fits my background well because I worked in a rural bank, I put up a savings and loan association which was successful, it was bought by a govt agency. I also established 2 financing companies and a lending investor. I am now helping firm clarify its goals and objectives (write a business plan)
2. The owner of the said RB also invited me to help her develop her properties into subdivision and memorial park. I had extensive experience in both.
3. Invitation from a member of the board to be their consultant, investor in the business he is organizing:
1. manufacturing of solar panels (RE which includes solar is an advocacy. I researched hard on solar financing, and this is serendipity.)
2. telecom, a solution to the slow internet in the Philippines (its an advocacy too)
3. health care (my teaching stint for MBAH served me well
Let me quote a portion of his email:
Aside from this I am pursuing a business opportunity in the telecom industry which is going to be a game changer. I will give you more details once I close the deal. Suffice to say that it will be a partnership with Bill Wrigley whose family once owned Wrigley chewing gum but sold to the Mars family a few years ago for $22B. He is considered the 4oth richest man in America and I am meeting with him in Chicago on Sept 15.
