"That was painful for its the team's first non-appearance in the playoffs (after 9 long years)".

The same feeling I had when a DLSU security personnel in North Gate warned me that starting today no visitor is allowed to pass any other gates except in South Gate. I told him that I'm from De La Salle-CSB, but even then as he claims because it is now the new rule. I understand, he is just doing his duty.

I had no choice but to write a letter to AVC Engr. Dela Cruz of PFO to give me some consideration...

Dear Engr. Dela Cruz,

I, Mr. Antonio S. Ingles, Jr., an alumnus of our beloved Alma Mater De La Salle University, Manila in year 2000 for my Master of Education, and year 2005 for my Master of Learning & Teaching. I am also a regular faculty member of De La Salle - College of Saint Benilde (DLS-CSB) since 1997 and a resident of EGI Taft Tower since 2003.

For so many years passing through De La Salle campus gives me a sense of security (against robbery, snatching, theft, etc...) especially in the evening as I either go to my work in DLS-CSB or go back home to EGI Taft Tower. This also gives me protection from vehicular pollution, from the heat of the sun and from flood along Taft Avenue during rainy days.

This afternoon (September 10, 2009 at around 2PM) I was warned and informed by the security personnel about the new rule that all visitors should all pass in South Gate.

I am asking your good office a favor and consideration as an alumnus, a regular employee of DLS-CSB and a permanent resident of EGI Taft Tower to allow me to pass from the North Gate as I go to my work in DLS-CSB.

I am hoping for your favorable approval on this request.

Sincerely yours,


(Sgd.) Antonio S. Ingles, Jr.

"The team learned lots of lessons the hard way this season. Hope they can translate all that learning into something positive next season."

Well I regained back my honor. Thank God, my request was approved by Engr. Dela Cruz and there is no need for me to wait for the next season to pass the North Gate!
