GENER VALENTON

Even as a child, Gener dreamed of working abroad. Europe, however, was not at the top of his list, as he believed it would be difficult for someone from the Philippines to find work there. Nevertheless, a few years later you can find Gener and three of his countrymen among the twenty-five members of technical team of Westvlees. Gener retrained as an electrician in the meantime. He recently became father to a strapping son for the first time, about whom he speaks often with the greatest pride.
