The Team : Coaches

". . . In the two years that I lived under martial law, I developed an insatiable hunger for truth, for a free press. All the old saws that I learned mindlessly in school suddenly became real to me. Every day, for four years of college, I had walked under the words carved in stone above the door of the university library: 'The truth shall make you free.' It took Ferdinand Marcos to make me understand those words . . ."

Reamur David is a junior at APC taking up Computer Science. As a kid, he was fascinated by the growing technology of computers such that he spent hours staring at the monitor while watching logic and pixel come together and do their romantic dance. Deprived from owning his own computer during his youth, he rechanneled his frustration and used this energy to self-train in its use. For twelve years, he enjoyed its use, while learning so many things about it.

It is quite ironic though that despite his interests in computers, he detests the Math. Even if stereotypes dictate that these two should be together, Rhem thinks otherwise. To him, Math is but a mere excuse of trying to assert imaginary figures as things of concern (Whatever that means...). For now, he is concentrating his energies on studying Philosophy 101.

Computers are not the only ones that shape Rhem. As a dear hobby of his, he enjoys the uncertainties and life onstage. As part of Ateneo's premiere theatre, Tanghalang Ateneo, he has already been part of numerous productions such as Macbeth, The Good Woman of Setzuan, Julius Caesar, and Tartuffe.

There is still much to say about this 21-year-old, manic-depressive, obsessive-compulsive, object-oriented, schizophrenic, embryonic, polka-dotted fighter pilot extremist (Among other things...). However, there is only one word to describe this embodiment of trait amalgam--Rhem (Third person point-of-view...whatever...)

Coach

I’m currently a consultant for a multinational IT (Information Technology) company in the Philippines. I’ve been involved with several aspects of IT ever since high school and it has been my passion ever since.

I started my IT career teaching at the Ateneo High School, the very sane from which these kids are currently students at.

Until recently, I operated my own Web Consulting business in San Francisco and transported the business to Manila when I moved back home. I’ve worked on several web projects over the years from small mom and pop operations to relatively large corporations.
