God has plans for each of us. It is said that when a door closes, a window opens. This is so true with the presidential appointments of my father and brother.

God knows what is best for us. We should trust Him. This is of relevance to the appointments of my sister and the acceptance of my wife to her dream role.

My brother, former 3 term Barotac Viejo Mayor Raul C. Tupas (former Captain of the Special Forces of the Philippine Army) was appointed by Pres. Noynoy Aquino last September as Department of Agriculture National Director 3. He was also given special order by Dept. of Agri. Sec. Alcala to be his Technical Assistant for Regions 6 and 10. Congratulations again bro and continue to do well for the Ilonggos, the farmers and the nation in general. Good luck and God bless.

My father, former Barotac Viejo Municipal Mayor, former Region VI Assemblyman, former Congressman of the 5th District of Iloilo and former Governor of the Province of Iloilo Atty. Niel D. Tupas Sr. was nominated by Pres. Noy just this 1st week of November as Philippine National Oil Company Exploration Corporation (PNOC EC) Executive. Congratulations again Tatay for being PNOC EC Director. Continue to do well for the Ilonggos, for oil and energy consumers and for the nation. Do well and God bless.

My sister, Nielette Tupas Balleza was also appointed about 7 months ago as PCSO National Consultant. She has helped a lot of people who need medical assistance and has assisted the PCSO Chairman in numerous programs and projects. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from UPD and was under the BAMA Honors Program.

My beloved wife, Dr. Candice Alumisin-Tupas worked hard to gain a slot to become a dermatologist resident. She passed through the qualifying phase, got exams, passed requirements, was chosen from the numerous applicants to join the pre-residency phase (only 15 were called) until she was accepted to join as Derma Resident of a State Owned Hospital (only 2 of them were chosen if I am not mistaken) and will become a Medical Officer 3 starting January next year. I am so proud of you wifey. Your dream of helping more people will happen. I love you.
