Romel Doming

In a very competitive company such as Fairchild Semiconductors Phils., Inc., what sets a CITE graduate apart from the others is more than just what meets the eye.

Batch 3 Electronics Technology graduate Romel Doming used tao walk in and out of the doors of Fairchild unnoticed as he was completing his On-the-Job Training in 1996. When he was hired by the company after his graduation, Romel’s career opened for him endless possibilities to better his life and his family’s.

“I’ve been through a lot of struggles before I (became) what I (am) now. Sa una, ma-problema ko sa weekly allowance nako,” reminisced this 30-year old alumnus from Cambinocot. “So nag-working student ko sa CITE,” he added.

He received P20 for keeping the CITE oratory clean and orderly during his free time which supported his daily needs.

Romel was the second from the eldest in the family. He always faces his share of challenges with courage, determination, and hardwork.

“We are very good in saying or writing our principles, (but) what matters most is the norms that one is practicing. By those good norms, we inherit it in ourselves and will guide us through,” he uttered.

From being a technician, Romel became a maintenance engineer and now an equipment engineer handling a group of technicians supporting the Test and Finish Area 1 at Fairchild. He also tutored off to Singapore for a technical training in 2001.

Romel was also able to help his two brothers, Roland and Edwin, finish their schooling.

Currently, he is planning to get a degree course in Electronics Engineering through the equivalency program offered at some universities.

A family man and a doting father to two kids, this hardworking fellow is now reaping the fruits of his hardwork of which he speaks highly of. “Don’t just work hard, work smart,” he quipped.
