I am a College of Eng’g alumnus because I finished my MS from the U.P.Ch.E. Department. I obtained my BSChE degree from another school. It must be a good school; otherwise Dr. Rey Vea would not want to be President of that school. During my undergraduate years, I spent my leisure hours solving chemical engineering and mathematics problems. During the exams it always turned out that I have already solved at least one or two problems in almost all the exams. I consider that luck, which was with me in the Board Exams (where I got first place), and in the M.S. and Ph.D. courses. I compiled the solutions of the problems I solved and made a reviewer for my own use. A friend borrowed it and unknown to me, he photocopied it and other people used it. Years later, I learned that this reviewer was being used in other schools. Up to now, some people thank me for having used the unauthorized reviewer and passed the board exam. Hey, where’s my royalty! (joke) But I did not want to be known as an author of a reviewer, so I started writing a book. However it took me so long to publish it. Watch out for the first book in <s>2007</s>, <s>2008</s>,<s> 2009</s>, <s>2010</s>, 2011, “Introductory Concepts in Chemical Engineering”, to be published by Alex Sy of Alexan. It contains an easier teaching strategy. The next will be “Biotechnology for Engineers”, which features a new teaching strategy and original researches. I like to tell jokes but they are corny. My adviser in the US did not like them and called them “Willy Joke”. Watch out for my third book, “Willy Jokes by Willy Joe”. (No joke, really.)

They say I do many researches and I really loved to do researches. However, some circumstances prevented me to pursue the work as hard as I should.

I became interested in the concept and I started probing the paradigm of chemical engineering. It was very intuitive. I gradually developed a technique of promoting creativity and innovation.

I am a College of Eng’g alumnus because I finished my MS from the U.P.Ch.E. Department. I obtained my BSChE degree from another school. It must be a good school; otherwise, Dr. Rey Vea would not want to be President of that school. I spent leisurely solving chemical engineering and mathematics problems during my undergraduate years. During the exams, it always turned out that I had already solved at least one or two problems in almost all the exams. I consider that luck, which was with me in the Board Exams (where I got first place) and the M.S. and Ph.D. courses. I compiled the solutions to the problems I solved and made a reviewer for my use. A friend borrowed it; unknown to me, he photocopied it, and other people used it. Years later, I learned this reviewer was being used in other schools. Until now, some people have thanked me for using the unauthorized reviewer and passing the board exam. Hey, where’s my royalty? (joke) But I did not want to be known as an author of a reviewer, so I started writing a book. However, it took me so long to publish it. Watch out for the first book in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, “Introductory Concepts in Chemical Engineering,” to be published by Alex Sy of Alexan. It contains a more straightforward teaching strategy. (Latest: The 2nd Edition 2018 is finally copyrighted and is now available at PhP700 per copy published by WIJTECH Solutions.) The next will be “Biotechnology for Engineers,” which features a new teaching strategy and original research. I like to tell jokes, but they are corny. My adviser in the US did not like them and called them “Willy Joke”. Watch out for my third book, “Willy Jokes by Willy Joe”. (No joke, really.)

They say I do many types of research, and I love to do researches. However, some circumstances prevented me to pursue the work as hard as I should have. Instead, I turned my attention more and more to social science aspects, particularly to the concept of paradigms. I attended the seminar by Stephen Covey on invitation by Proctor and Gamble. At about the same time, I received a monograph describing the frontiers of chemical engineering. In these two instances, paradigms were described.
