Two Boys – Work-From-Home Jomar And Work-For-Whom Frank A Hilario

Surprise! A Manila paper today, 08 November 2020, comes out with a feature story by Carla Bianca Ravanes-Higham about my son Jomar Reynoso Hilario (shown above with his mother Amparo sharing dessert): “Jomar Hilario Helps Filipinos Adapt To The New World Of Work[1]” (08 November 2020, Manila Times). It’s 0930 hours Sunday as I write, and I’m eating a bar of Cloud9 doing this, thinking and typing at the same time. in my own room.

Separately, Son works from home, WFH; Father works for whom, W4W. Jomar’s WFH is for Filipinos who work for others here and/or Internet-miles abroad; my W4W is for Filipinos who work for farmers anywhere in the Philippines.

Jomar Hilario, Work From Home (WFH)

Working from home, WFH, for more than 10 years now, Jomar is a Virtual Career adviser to would-be Virtual Assistants, VAs.

Jomar looks for any number of people to mentor as VAs working for individuals or institutions away from home, producing daily, weekly, or monthly outputs for offices.

Miss Carla says Jomar advises dual-tasking, not multi-tasking, while doing your WFH. And you should have a duly designated & recognized & respected workspace at home. She says he says the pandemic lockdown has transformed jobs so that now nearly 80% of the office staff actually work from home!

Jomar notes the family stress coming from working from home. “The pandemic has forced this new setup, which can be quite stressful. I do understand where they’re coming from, especially since kids are doing virtual learning too.” The children are now work-from-homers too! Jomar has 4: Sean, Lucia, Earl, Alexa. So, expect interruptions in “your” work. “They’re not nuisances; they’re the people you choose to live with,” he says. And if you have a workplace, your children should have a study place themselves, separate from your workspace.

A work-from-homer? You are blessed! “It’s important to remind yourself of how fortunate you are to be freed from waking up too early, to be surrounded by the people you love.” And not have to deal with the office intrigues.

Frank A Hilario, Work For Whom (W4W)

With my W4W, I am enjoying what my son says work-from-homers should be enjoying: no commute, no office intrigues. And today I have only one child, graciela/ela at home and, a teacher, she is also into WFH.

Me, my work-for-whomers is defined by Filipino professionals and non-professionals leading, not leading, or misleading farmers in going about their farming, applying the Science of Agriculture. You will be surprised, as I have been, reading negativenews or views related to the cultivators of the soil.

Well, all that has made my work-for-whom exciting!

I have also taken upon myself the W4W teacher’s duty of encouraging journalists who are either non-performing in agriculture and/or not actively supporting Secretary of Agriculture William Dar’s “New Thinking for Agriculture” grounded in those “8 paradigms.” Despite big problems, The New Thinking has been Working Big.

If you ask me more about it, then you are one of those non-performing assets (NPAs) of Philippine Agriculture!@517
