Mr. Alan Canlas

Viray of Viray Financial and Alan Canlas of Ang Peryodiko.

Among the six teleconference participants were Ang Peryodiko publisher Alan Canlas and Philippine Times publisher Tess Marcelino.

Ang Peryodiko publisher Alan Canlas shared that the US academic evaluation and credentialing system has been in place for more than 25 years and has greatly assisted foreign-educated immigrants in landing the right jobs.He asked the NDP leader if the Canadian government does not plan to study the US model for possible adoption.

Mr. Canlas received me warmly.We had a casual conversation.He walked me through their publishing process.I said that, since I am yet to become eligible to work when I finally receive my permanent-resident visa hopefully in April of next year, I was willing to volunteer even only as a proofreader or a contributing editor; just to share my skills and have something worthwhile to do.Unfortunately, the editorial staff of the newspaper is based in California, USA, and they coordinate through the e-mail.However, he said that what he could offer me instead was a job as a correspondent.He would pay me per project accomplished.All I needed to do was, appear at an invitational gathering or event that he would assign to me, take some pictures, and write a one-page article about the event's highlights.That's easy!But...

It dawned on me that, of course, the job would require that I have my own transportation.I couldn't depend on my relatives to drop me off and pick me up all the time.More so, I rarely have the chance to go out on my own, for no one can look after Grandfather especially during the weekdays.

Nevertheless, I didn't lose heart.I tried to look at the positive side of meeting Mr. Canlas.
...
Furthermore, I have now one highly regarded person for my resume's list of references: Mr. Alan Canlas - Publisher/President of Ang Peryodiko.All I needed to do is maintain my acquaintanceship with him.

Right there and then, I told Mr. Canlas that I could not accept his offer because of my situation.He understood it, telling me that in any case I was welcome to visit the office anytime.

Someone who Shares the SameAnother positive thing that popped up unexpectedly was, one of Mr. Canlas's employees said that I looked familiar to him, that he thought he already saw me somewhen somewhere he couldn't remember.The guy was long-haired, so I surmised that he knew me because of my band.I was right, for when I mentioned my having been in a band, he broke into a sweet relief, saying, "There, yeah!
...
Also present during the occasion was Mr. Alan Canlas, the publisher of another Philippine newspaper, Peryodiko.
...
Mr. Canlas: "Naku, tamang-tama, kelangan namin ng proofreaders.Teka, writer at editor ka kamo?Ba't hindi ka na lang magsulat, mas mabuti pa?"
...
Mr. Canlas, handing me a business card: "Let's discuss about this at my office.D'yan lang ang opisina ko sa tapat.Drop by anytime."

eLf: "Thank you very much, Mr. Canlas.
...
Mr. Canlas: "No problem.See you then."

I didn't wait for her to reach my area; I stood up and approached her, got a copy, and then introduced myself the way I did a while ago with Mr. Canlas.
