ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Mabuhay! Hola! Hi! I am George Rodriguez (or GR, for short). A husband. A father of two. And a Small Group Leader.
I married Stella on the 3rd of December 1990. We have a son and a daughter. As a father, it prides me that they both graduated magna-cum laude, B.S. Architecture and B. S. Interior Design, respectively. Now I got your attention!
