Kong at 88!

Kong Kong celebrated his 88th birthday yesterday.  He was born in Dumaguete City, the youngest of 12 siblings.  He grew up in Xiamen, China, came back to the Philippines in the 1930s and subsequently completed his mechanical engineering studies at the premier state university.  He endured two weeks of hell during the battle for the liberation of Manila in World War II.  He's been involved in manufacturing since after the war, primarily automobiles and is considered a worldwide expert on low-volume automobile assembly.  He still drives (albeit a slower pace) and exercises a hour every day to keep in shape.  Yup, that's my dad; he's taught me a lot and still continues to do so, up to this very day.  Two thumbs up!  Yeah!
