The Draftsman Chronicles - Gilbert Correces
Dedication
Guillermo Ramirez-Correces
THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED to Guillermo Ramirez-Correces who left this world at 73 after losing his battle with Metastatic Lung Cancer. Guillermo’s life was a journey with God between B (birth) and D (death). He spent his life answering the Cs of his life, they were calls
for service in the Lord’s work. Guillermo lived a life answering the call to service in God’s work with unwavering dedication and commitment. His selflessness and tireless efforts to plan, draft, and construct buildings that were not there before and to have them stand and be used for years to come is a legacy to his service and love to God. The buildings will not last, but some continue to serve as places for the people that have been touched, and as testaments to his commitment to carry out what was required of him by his calling. Despite his full-time self-supporting status as a student at Philippine Union College, he was able to finish his bachelor’s degree in history as an adjunct to his drafting and construction vocations, which resulted in buildings for Philippine Publishing House, West Visayan Academy, Mindanao Sanitarium & Hospital now Iligan Adventist Medical Centre, Mountain View College, South Philippine Union Conference HQ, South Philippine Adventist College, Davao Adventist Hospital, and Adventist University of the Philippines. His early death from cancer of the lungs was a result of the lack of health and safety protocols during his days working in the furniture shop.
Guillermo, you lived your life answering the call to service in God’s work. You have shown us what it truly means to be a servant of God and a friend to man.
Dedication
Dalisay Loyola-Correces
THIS BOOK IS ALSO DEDICATED to Dalisay Loyola-Correces who carried out her duties as a wife, a loving mother, and a grandmother. She totally dedicated her life to filling the role of nurturer to her husband and four children despite the difficult living circumstances. Together with her husband’s meager salary, she worked as a colporteur and managed to send the four children to school. Learning photography as a hobby, she developed it into a business, which helped the family throughout its MVC tenure. She lived a full life till she was 88 and died due to complications with diabetes though she outlived her husband by twelve years. She is now resting in peace while awaiting the Lord’s return.
From Him who created all, flow life and light and gladness... all things animate and inanimate, in their shadowed beauty and perfect joy, declare that God is love.
GC, 456,2.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:
P eople may doubt what you say but they will believe what you do.
—LEWIS CASS
As one who played more of a lifetime role in observing and living with Guillermo Correces, I am humbled, privileged, and with a sincere spirit, honored to take on this task to write my father’s story combined with my personal experiences concerning him.
TWIN TOWERS 2001 BEFORE 9/11
The New York Port Authority hired Architect Minuro Yamasaki who came up with a specific idea about building the twin towers. It was called the World Trade Center which was dedicated to the concept of achieving world peace through trade. It cost $400 million.
TWIN TOWERS DURING 9/11
Islamic extremism was stirred by the Iranian revolution, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the assassination of the Egyptian president. Extremism turned into anti-Americanism because of US support for Israel and secular Arab regimes.

TWIN TOWERS AFTER 9/11
A picture containing outdoor, grass, boat, highway Description automatically generatedWORLD TRADE CENTER AT GROUND ZERO TODAY- 2023
Last September 11, 2001, we watched the television breaking news of the twin towers of New York City World Trade Center collapsing against a familiar skyline, and black smoke rising from the rubble. The event now known as 9/11 was a wakeup call for everyone about how Al-Qaeda terrorists attack and how tall buildings collapse from this action; how such buildings are connected not only to the individuals within them but also to the inhabitants of surrounding communities. The way the rise and fall of buildings impact the lives of individuals and of the general population they are part of is fascinating. Archaeological digs across the earth bare the skeletons or leftover frames of buildings with stories to tell, providing material for historical narratives.
In parallel to the twin tower stories, The Draftsman Chronicles tells Guillermo’s story founded on the buildings he helped to erect.
This book is dedicated to the Seventh-day Adventist pioneers of Philippine church ministry in health and education. When the Americans came over to the Philippines in the 1940’s, the Seventh-day Adventist faith quickly made its way to the hearts of the Filipino people, redefining a Christian nation founded on Catholicism.
My thanks to the following: Pastor Herminio Reyes, who encouraged me to author this book; Bangele Alsaybar and Pastor V.M. Montalban who provided impetus for The Draftsman Chronicles by helping me to navigate the background of the Western Visayan Mission.
Dr. Francisco Geslani for his role in the heading of the Mindanao Sanitarium & Hospital, and the Miller Sanitarium & Hospital; V. M. Montalban and Primitivo Reyes who were instrumental in the creation of Mountain View College and South Philippine Union Mission (now Conference); And finally my thanks to my mother Dalisay Loyola who never gave up and never failed to support her husband Guillermo and to my patient wife Clevelinda who has put up with my typing shenanigans when writing this book and to God be the Glory
for the success of the Philippine Island mission field ministry.
I would like to give special mention to Dr. Demetrio Hechanova Sr. who supported Guillermo in upgrading his drafting skills by equipping him with tools, resources, and books from the United States. My gratitude also goes to the unnamed workers and student volunteers who toiled with him tirelessly during the pioneering construction days of West Visayan Academy, Mountain View College, Iligan and Davao City.
I also thank John L. Odom whom I befriended through Facebook, providing me with vital information about how Guillermo Correces also taught high school carpentry as a vocational subject at the academy level during his student days at Philippine Union College.
John witnessed the beginnings of PUC & MVC in his work as missionary volunteer in the Philippines, and as a missionary kid,
he was around great stalwarts like Dr. Andrew Nathaniel Nelson and Professor Lawrence Murphy Stump who were with the early SDA education work in the Philippines. My greatest thanks are to God who gave me the original ideas and thoughts to remember and find out about stories that I encountered in my own personal life to supplement those from my father’s experiences, resulting in The Draftsman Chronicles.

Esteban and Elisa Ramirez-Correces raised nine children with Guillermo as the eldest, a jack of all trades
and a wannabe engineer
. He was a creative carpenter at an early age. He was the leader of the pack, so to speak.
From his early childhood, Guillermo was trained to work with his father in supporting the family. Being the eldest, the responsibility of leadership and being in charge was his forte
. His father was a college graduate and had a job as a government employee with the department of health and that kept him away from home most of the time, so it was Guillermos lot to look after his siblings when his father was away.
Esteban Correces had a sister named Julie and she had a family as well.

DALISAY LOYOLA FAMILY TREE
Dalisay Loyola (Dely) was born to Bonifacio Loyola and Maria Manabat in Binan, Laguna and she is the youngest of three siblings. In addition, she had three half-siblings with her mother, Maria Manabat who had a previous marriage to a certain Mr. Reyes, so half-sister Andrea Reyes (Nana Anding a daughter from Maria Manabat’s first husband) Daniel Reyes and Roman Reyes & Andrea Reyes were Dalisay’s half-siblings from her mother.
Bernardina took it upon herself to look after Dalisay who was the youngest in the family since their parents died early in their life. I remember the first vacation we had in Binan. Grandma Maria was dying and lying in her bed. and they fed her grapes, and I wanted some grapes for myself since we did not have them in Mountain View College, but my cousins all said it was only for Lola because she was very ill. She passed away and I attended my first funeral in Binan and was delighted to be a part of a large group of relatives; so, if we go through Dalisay’s family tree in detail, we will definitely have a lot of blanks.
The cousins:
