It was Holy Wednesday, April 4, 2012. My sister-in-law, Mrs. Luz A. Cochingco, and I walked half a block to the Adelaido A. Bayot Memorial School, Inc. on J.P. Laurel Street, Nasugbu, Batangas. We had a 10:00 a.m. appointment with Mrs. Sharon Bayot-Padilla, the school principal.

Mrs. Padilla had asked me the day before to prepare a draft contract for the short-term rental by Bl. Teresa Lang-Ed Consultancy of a classroom at A.A. Bayot Memorial School. I was hoping to launch the language education consultancy by way of summer classes on speech and written communication.

Would Mrs. Padilla and Mrs. Lea Bayot-Solano, the school's finance officer, sign my draft contract? How much would they charge for the duration of the summer classes? Would I be able to afford it?

The day before, they said they didn't know how much to charge me, if at all, because they'd never rented out a classroom to anyone. Actually, I wasn't sure how our meeting would go.

After reading the draft contract for a few minutes, Mrs. Padilla said, "Let's sign it now."

Mrs. Solano said the management of A. A. Bayot Memorial School had agreed to charge me a certain amount. She told me, "If that amount is fine with you, then let's sign the contract now."

I said yes.

Mrs. Padilla wrote the amount on the blank in the draft contract, then signed the two copies. I signed next, then Mrs. Solano and my sister-in-law signed as witnesses.

Mrs. Padilla said she'd like to join Blessed Teresa's teaching team for Summer 2012 and Mrs. Solano said she'd enrol her children. They exhorted me and my sister-in-law to hang tarpaulin banners and to distribute flyers immediately.

We shook hands and said goodbye very warmly.

See you all at Bayot Memorial School starting on Tuesday, April 10. I'll be around to advise students on which course to enrol. Also, I'll be mentoring the teaching team .

By the way, there are free orientation talks for students and parents. I'll give you the schedule in another post.

See you all soon!
