During his childhood, Somera dreamed of being a successful engineer. But Jun’s family was poor and when his father died while he was still young; accomplishing his dream became much more difficult. He was eighth of ten children and his widowed mother had no resources to support her children in school. Accepting these hardships as his driving force to reach his goal in life, he utilized his talents and skills to get out of poverty. In doing so, he acquired the virtues of learning, hard work and discipline."engWith permission of the license/copyright holderEconomicBusinessAssemblies of GodPhilippinespentecostalEconomic ethicsBusiness ethicsCommunity ethicsChristian denominationsPentecostal, CharismaticArticle
