What can I do for you should you hire me?
I can turn your department into an efficient relevant-information producer. If you have any group of data that you keep manually, I can store, sort, group, and process them to produce an informative report by creating a computer program that will do that job in a short time.
If you're still doing your payroll manually or semi-manually using a spreadsheet program, I will develop a payroll program that will automate everything, whenever applicable, from timekeeping to reporting.
If you wish to market your business, I can design you a web site and your needed marketing collaterals like business portfolio, brochure, flier, product presentation, tarpaulin banner, poster, catalog, e-book, newsletter, magazine, and CD kiosk.
For individual needs, I can enhance your photos, give them a new look, or repair the old ones using some Photoshop techniques.
If interested, simply write a comment with your email address.

my education
1984-1988, COBOL Programming, Systems Technology Institute (Gil Puyat Avenue, Makati City)
After my graduation from college, I studied COBOL Programming at the Systems Technology Institute (now STI College). STI was one of the first IT schools in the Philippines. My training there was extensive. My training was divided into 3 modules: micro COBOL, mini COBOL, and macro COBOL (mainframes). All of my instructors were IT professionals currently working at different companies. For that reason, I learned programming the way it was practically applied in business. The very first computers we used were called Apple II; that's where we would load our COBOL programs.
1979-1983, Bachelor in Accountancy, Polytechnic University of the Philippines (Sta. Mesa, Manila)
I chose accounting by default; meaning, it was one of the few courses opened at the university at a late enrolling time. I had no ambition at that time. All I wanted was to work in an office so that I could help my mother financially.
My grade average was 1.96 (85%-87%)
1975-1979, High School, Malate Catholic School
My high school was a bad experience. It was my adolescent period that I realized my father died 4 years ago. It was in this period when I was sexually molested the first time by an old man (but I have redeemed myself :-). This is the period, however, I learned to really study and enjoyed the books I had.
1968-1974, Elementary, St. Paul School Makati (former Makati Catholic School)
My elementary school was a sad experience. Being poor, I had no books. I relied mainly on my notes, which were very few. Not at all times that I got to take the periodic exams due to unpaid tuition fees. As a result, my grades were very low. The highest grade I could earn was 78; I'd be lucky to get 79 or 80. My social, emotional, psychological, and physical formation years were not that healthy. Spiritually, however, my formation was enough.
In my sixth grade, I was diagnosed with rheumatic heart disease that caused me to stop schooling for one year.
1968, Grade One, Generosa de Leon Memorial School (Paranaque)
This is where I first studied but I was not able to complete my first grade because my sisters who were teachers in that school moved to another school. (Nora Aunor was in her high school then at the same school.) I continued my first grade at Makati Catholic School.
I had no kindergarten schooling. On my supposedly first day in kindergarten school, I backed out. With no questions asked, my father simply sent me back home. Without a preschool background, my reading skill was poor which to my classmates' delight, found a way to ridicule me.

brief profile

My name is Tony. Some of my friends call me TonyF to distinguish me from the other Tony's that we commonly know. My mother's name is Jovita; my father's Nicanor. I came on earth on March 11, 1962, Sunday, at 10:00 PM. So that makes my birth number 183274. I spent my grade school years in Makati Catholic School (now St. Paul College Makati); my high school years, in Malate Catholic School. Having earned a Bachelor in Accountancy degree, I was graduated from the Polytechnic University of the Philippines in 1983. After graduation, I studied COBOL Programming in Systems Technology Institute.
My first job was in Development Bank of the Philippines. I also worked at Bank of America, Pilipinas Shell, Universal Reinsurance, Ayala Systems Technology, Inc., and Ayala Corporation. Most of my work was in accounting. In Ayala Corporation, my supervisor gave me a chance to be a computer programmer.
In 1996, I left Ayala Corporation and spent a year doing programming for small offices. In 1997, I emigrated to Canada. Finding out that the technology in Canada was very much ahead than that of the Philippines, I was jobless for four months except for a little volunteer work teaching Fr. Matt Meehan, a Redemptorist priest, on how to use the Internet.
Back in the Philippines, I worked for Ayala Systems Technology, and then for Working Hands Scholarship Foundation. Needing to do what I like most, I studied object-oriented programming and web development. I now work as an independent consultant for a handful of clients doing web design, developing business applications like payroll, implementing MYOB (an accounting software) or Simply Accounting, and graphic designing.
So, if you need my services, e-mail me, or call me at (home) (632)895-2632 or (+63)917-9914812 (mobile). Best time to call me is from 12:00 PM onwards (I'm usually up until 2:00 AM.)
