  4. My Grand father has worked in this company. I think he was one of the honest person who work in his time i think it was around 50's or 60's would you imagine he had returned almost 35,000 pesos and a a bag of jewelry and a lot of land titles... And i am very humble and proud to say that he returned all of this to his passenger. until now even though i didn't had the chance to meet my Grand father because he died to early i want to say that i am proud of him.
