The death of Fr. Thomas Steinbugler saw the outpouring of thanks and gratitude of former beneficiaries of the scholarship grants and aid that came/passed through the office of the beloved Jesuit father. We could only be grateful for the grace and the gifts that were bestowed upon us.
Our Foundation and company has given away 30 college scholarships to poor and deserving students. When my mother died, I did not see any one of them. I never received any card nor any letter from any of the students whom the Amado M. Saguinsin Memorial Foundation has helped..
It is either they have poor memories, never really were educated, or simply have culture of entitlement - ie the world our Foundation owed them a God given right to finish college.
I hope they would be successful or no longer poor (in spirit)

The teaching days are over
Rizal Philippines | June 23, 2014
Fewer postings/publications on this page.
I do not expect to post more articles here nor in the NU12 (Entrepnew) blogs/self dev/FB pages. My academic stint has ended albeit unceremoniously because of my apparent inability to comply with new policy on 7 days grade submission after end of semester. I have a day job, and so with the students. We are both working professionals. (Hence the name Professional School) I could not go on perpetual state of insubordination with the administration. The cluster chair wrote me a letter agreeing to my giving up. (interpretation as a resignation. I did not expressly say though that I am resigning)
However, I heard from the grapevine that the administration relented to a cluster request to submit grades after one month, and that the edict should be disregarded by the cluster There are many new rules according to other faculty that are not in writing. However, meeting request must be in writing. (Hard copy) Emails are not answered. (Hearsay again. I am not to be quoted)
I could not care less because I have other interest, and I have done my best while in the care of the academe.
Now it is over. All that they have to do is do nothing (not renewing my 90 days contract) However, I could not help but think aloud.
I thank the former Dean and the administration for the 13 wonderful years of teaching.

Condolence and Prayers for the Late Fr. Thomas Steinbugler former Dean of Admission and Aid
Lux in Domino
Rizal Philippines | June 12, 2014
I recently got the word this morning that Fr. Tom Steinbugler, former Dean of Admission and Aid passed away and his body lies in state at the Ateneo Loyola Chapels He will be buried on Saturday.
We had meeting with him sometime in June, 2 years ago at the Ateneo Loyola cafeteria. Some notable beneficiaries of Fr. Tom's legacy included former Sec of Health Manuel Dayrit, Congressman Jonathan de la Cruz to name others.
He died of lingering illness and probably old age.
We owe so much to this guy. I remember when he sent me a handwritten note informing me that I got an Ateneo scholarship. I did not know much about Ateneo nor did I expect to pass the Ateneo entrance exam, after then activist Emman Lacaba encouraged us at Rizal High School to take Ateneo entrance exam. He said that Ateneo at that time was encouraging that public schools bright students/graduate should find home in Ateneo.
Fr Stein made it happen.
May he rest in peace.
Thanks Fr. Stein
