I was sitting in the lobby of the hotel, resting after a very heady topic in a conference I attended, when into my right appeared Mr. Joey Concepcion Sr.

Seeing the once in a lifetime opportunity, I did not waste any time but ask him if I could have a picture with him beside me which he happily agreed.

For me, that is one moment of truth. JOECON to me as he is popularly known is one of the nationalist icon who is always on the forefront of national issues, leading the people's right be it for Democracy or against oil price increase.

To have a picture with him is an honor. To see the picture and interpret the meaning behind the man is inspirational.

My picture with him will always remind me that the Philippines is my country and I must do in any way positive things to help it achieve progress for the good of the many.

Thank you sir. Thank you JOECON!
