The year was 1986. The month was January. While watching the latest on-the-hour Marcos-Cory news, Gary, Angeli and I were home (yes, we shared the same home) meeting about what name to give our new company. (Little did we know that a few weeks after our company was to start, while Angeli was in Hong Kong for a spinal operation, we would have a new Government and President.) We didn?t stop throwing ?company-sounding? names at each other. Angeli and Gary preferred a Bible-related name (as they had just become renewed in their faith a few months before), while I kept thinking of a word related to ?a beginning.?
