What’s your personal motto?
"Think twice before you speak." For Ronald, good relationship starts with good communication, the reason why he is being kind and careful on what he say and for him, irrelevant and hurtful things are better to be kept unsaid.
The most rewarding part of his 21 years with Atlas Copco
Staying in the service for years is something to be proud of and equates an extreme amount of passion and loyalty. Ronald says being able to provide for his family is the most rewarding and fulfilling part of his two decades with Atlas Copco and this what pushes him to keep going.
Para sa akin, wala na 'kong makikitang katulad ng Atlas Copco. Unang-una, napakalaking pasalamat ko na nagtiyaga at nagsumikap ako sa kumpanya dahil sa ganda ng benefits, ganda ng samahan, sa mga katrabaho at management, walang discrimination at talagang mayroong turingang parang isang pamilya. Pinagmamalaki kong dahil sa Atlas Copco, napagtapos ko ng college (BS Criminology) ‘yung panganay ko at patuloy na nag aaral yung iba ko pang anak sa private school – na isang pribilehiyo para sa akin. Pinagmamalaki ko ‘yun.
Ronald with his colleagues
Ronald also has his own way of finding joy from his work — machine deliveries is sometimes a long and tiring job but also means there's a new place to visit for free.
"Minsan kahit puyatan at mahaba 'yung byahe, hindi mo na maiisip kasi mahal mo 'yung ginagawa mo eh. At iba yung excitement na makakapunta ka sa ibang lugar na hindi mo naman napupuntahan dati, masaya kahit madaanan mo lang."
"Sometimes, even if I have to stay late and it's a long drive, you will not think about getting tired because you love what you do & you're doing it for your loved ones. And the excitement of going to places you haven't been before, makes you happy even if you just pass by."
Our Logistics team including Ronald is one of Atlas Copco's frontliners who still perform and give the best of their service despite of the Covid-19 health threats. His biggest challenge more than the mobility restrictions and community quarantine happened when he was hospitalized for ten days due to his health condition. This brought him huge amount of stress but eventually recovered and was able to go back to work.
A supportive and hardworking brother and father
Did you know that Ronald once then see himself of becoming an engineer?
Pangarap ko talagang maging engineer 'nung bata pa 'ko, pero financially challenged dahil self-supporting ako at sumusuporta din sa pamilya bilang panganay sa walong magkakapatid. 'Di ko nakamit yung pangarap ko pero masaya ako na halos mga engineer ang katrabaho ko ngayon sa Atlas Copco.
A real family man like Ronald always puts the family at first. When asked if he find a lottery ticket that ends up winning 10million, what he would do with the winnings? "Invest para sa home improvement for family. Ise-share ko din sa pamilya at mga kapatid. Family is everything. Also, mag iinvest sa negosyo para bumalik at mapaikot yung blessings."
"I will invest in home improvement for my family. I wil share it to my family and siblings. Family is everything. Also, I will invest in a business so I will be able to nurture my blessings."
