The Start of an Unexpected Journey
Raphael is sitting in a wooden chair inside his home, he is thinking about a lot of things, he is already 21 years old yet he is still lost. He doesn’t know which way to go, but he know what he want. He wants a happy life for his family. It is hard to grow up in a family with no wealth so he wants to be successful for his parents and siblings, but he do not have any idea how to do it. He graduated as a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration just a year ago, but he can’t find a job in their area that is fitted for his degree. He lives in a countryside in the little province of Mindoro, and it is hard to find a job in such an island place like that.
So, despite of fear and anxiousness for leaving his family in the countryside, he made the biggest decision that totally changed his life. He went to the big city of Manila and started a new journey with a handful of hope to finally find the success that he’s aiming.

Meanwhile, inside a fully-air conditioned and plain white painted walls, a man in his 20’s is sitting in a uniquely made swivel chair while typing at the keyboard of a laptop, his expression screams that no one should distract him in the middle of his job unless they wish to meet their end. After a couple of hour, he grabbed his phone and called someone from the Human Resource department of his company, he ordered them to look for a new secretary and immediately ended the call.
He remembered that he fired his secretary a while ago due to her late responses to his calls every time he needs her.
