John Fred Antig
Beta Sigma Fraternity
Survived: UP Baguio Pioneer Batch 1977 October 3rd
I
have been fortunate to be with a family that grew up in two mining
companies. We lived in 2 closely knit communities: Altas Mining at Cebu,
where I had elementary; and Lepanto Mines for high school at Mankayan,
Benguet. I enrolled in UP Baguio 1996. I met Steve Perez during my
sophomore year and was introduced to Rene Evangelista and Bong Lacson. I
joined Beta Sigma Fraternity thereafter. My days at UP Baguio were short
but eventful. After the first semester of 1978, since my father moved to
Atlas Mining, Cebu, we decided to transfer to the University of San
Carlos, Cebu. My first day of school at USC, I was sitted beside Brod
Allan who survived USC Beta Sigma, batch 1977. I graduated a Bachelor of
Electrical Engineering from USC, 1984, fortunately I graduated with Brod
Mike USC Beta Sigma, batch 1977. After passing Licensure exam, I worked
at Atlas Mining as an Electrician, then got promoted as an Electrical
Engineer for their Safety Department.
Thanks to my mother’s
grandpa, a US Army veteran from the Spanish-American War, who immigrated
to the Philippines, I was able to immigrate to the US, arriving
September 1991.
I joined the US Navy. After 2 years I was sent to
Electrician Mate Naval School at Illinois where I met Brod Teng DLSU
batch 1982C. I experienced my first Beta Sigma Midwest Induction Ball in
1995. Brod Jun Castro was the GP, meeting brods from UP Brod Lem and USC
Brod Pepe. I played basketball for Beta Sigma Midwest and we won against
visiting Brod Bhot Salas' team.
After being a Navy Service School
Distinguished Military Graduate, I opted to move to a cruiser at San
Diego until my honorable discharge in 1998. I used my GI bill education
at the California State University Los Angeles to finish management
courses. I worked with Crown City Plating, United Airlines, and
SONGS-Southern California Edison. I am presently working with Metro
Transit Authority, Wayside, as Rail Electrical Supervisor.
