"Lots of little trees at this hotel- bonsai"

Rest in paradise, Sir Tony. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Tony was in my chemistry and physics classes during a time of 
family tragedy in which I volunteered to bring him to school 
during some time he wasn't able.  We kept in touch all the years 
since 1996 and I was so proud of his great achievement in setting
up CalTek.  He was a great and loyal friend.

I’ll always treasure the memories we made during our first international training trip with Calltek. You were such a big part of that adventure — we worked hard, but we laughed and celebrated even harder. I still remember us bar-hopping through the freezing cold, dancing, singing, and simply enjoying life to the fullest.
One moment that still makes me smile was when you, in your usual carefree way, picked up an elderly woman in the middle of the fun — and her husband just stood there, stunned. Later that night, you had us all running and laughing, completely caught up in your wild and hilarious energy. You were truly the life of the party — unapologetically bold, spontaneous, and full of heart.
After that trip to Banff, life led us down different paths, but that time — and your unforgettable spirit — has always stayed with me.

Thank you for the joy, the laughter, and the memories. You will always be remembered with a smile.

Taken post volleyball game in 2011. We used to play volleyball every Wednesday.

Oh, Tony! You told me that you will visit France soon and I have been very excited for that moment to arrive.  I have already thought of what wine to let you try. I even reminded you that the French drink not to get drunk and you laughed out loud as you understood what I was trying to tell you. 

I am in immense sadness because we can no longer share moments together, I will no longer be greeted by that vibrant voice, that oozing enthusiasm when you talk about the things you were passionate about — overflowing ideas, travel adventures or anything under the sun, those warm hugs and contagious smiles that can light up a gloomy day, those  encouraging words that bring hope in moments of despair.  

I take consolation on the thought that you’re just there tellling me, “It’s okay Annie oi, come on!” I will always cherish the memories you gave me.  So I guess we will have wine on the other side.  Adieu, Tony.

I took this photo of Tony and Ken in 2006. It was just another usual working day in CallTek and wanted to have a photo of them together as casual as possible.  I printed it and gave it to him as a Christmas gift. For those who have been to his original office in the 4th floor, you probably have seen this as he hung this picture on the wall.

I will always be here for Irish and the kids.

Tony, thank you for all the advices, wisdom and for all the memories. There was never a dull moment when we're with you. Thank you for treating me like your family. Your memories and legacy will lived on. We will miss you Tonyboy! You've lived your life well.

It will never be the same without you, 
Our sweet Caroline..

Thank you for everything and Rest in Paradise, Sir Tony!🕊️

Tony adopted son of Cebu.  You have touched so many lives. Cebu City will never be the same w/out your big smile that lights up any room you walk into. Thanks for the opportunity of knowing you. Shine on. Fly high amigo and know that you are cherished by so many, and your warm big hugs will be forever missed.

I will always remember how tough you are on the production floor but the life of the party during celebrations. It was later I realized that  you were wearing different hats and must have been hard to make difficult decisions. Rest easy, Sir Tony. CallTek will always be with you. You will be missed, so much.

In every challenge we faced, your caring heart and attentive ear made us feel valued and heard. You were not just a leader, but a beacon of support who dedicated yourself to solving our problems and ensuring our satisfaction. Your legacy of compassion and active listening will forever inspire us to create a workplace where everyone feels like they belong.

Though you have left this world, your spirit will guide us as we continue to honor the community you built. God bless you,💔😢 and my prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.🤲🥀

I am always grateful to you sir Tony. For your kindness and for your welfare towards your employee. Thanks for everything sir Tony.

Your my mentor thank you for believing in me and I am here because of the knowledge I learned from you again Thank You....
Your gone too soon Boss..

We lost a great leader, role model and Big Brother. Thank you for everything, Tony! You will never be forgotten our Big Bro!😢💕🙏 Everytime we see each other, you’ll always ask how’s my brother. I informed him of what happened and he’s also saddened by the news. He has left the company long time ago but he will never forget his experience, Sir Ken & you. A lot of previous employees were also sad hearing the news. You have touched a lot of lives. Rest in peace, Tony!💐🤍 Praying for you and your family.🙏

January 14, 2025 . Mactan, Philippines.

He made an effort (as always) so we could  share one happy moment together. He was the one who remembered to have this photo taken as if he knew it's gonna be the last.  

Oh, Tony! You were larger than life. Thank you for the wonderful human being  that you were and for making us part of your amazing journey. 'Til we meet again!

December 2010  during an outreach in Cebu .

His  energy was contagious. He always made the people around him feel loved and special.

Statement by Mr. M.A.E. when I confused him as a  Navajo native American.  G.H.F.

I’ll always remember Sir Tony as the kindest CEO I’ve known. May he rest in peace.

It breaks my heart to write this lengthy message dedicated to your memory. 💔
 
I've been personally trained by sir Tony himself, and I can honestly say that him being a great leader would be an understatement. To say that he was our CEO would not even come close to capturing the depth of what he was to me and to everyone. Because to me, apart from him being a firm, hard-working and intelligent CEO, he was also a very compassionate, caring and understanding mentor. I will never forget how you would constantly remind me of my potential and how you would always reassure me that I can become greater at the things that I do in every chance you get. I will never forget how you would complete my work days as you walk down our isle and greet us with a big, joyful smile as you would playfully pat my back as you pass by me (or chest if you're extra playful) or sometimes tease me with my curly hair. I will never forget the words you said to me during last year's year ender when you told me that I am worth than what I think I am. Never did I expect that those will be your very last words of assurance to me. At this point, I feel like I haven't just lost a leader; but to me, I feel like I also lost a good friend.
 
Your legacy will forever live on in our hearts. We will forever honor that legacy by carrying forward the lessons you taught us. So, while we say goodbye, we also promise to keep your spirit alive in the way we work, in the way we treat one another, and in the way we face the future.
 
Sir Tony, thank you for everything. Descanse en paz. 🕊️🙏🏼🤍

You will always be loved… rest easy Sir Tony.

Always going above and beyond! Tony made sure that we had clean water to drink during Typhoon Odette.

Thank you for everything, Tony. Thank you for taking very good care of us. 
It will not be easy but we will do our best to carry on with our lives, having you as our inspiration. It's time for you to rest now. We'll miss you... a lot! Love, Cat.

Ron Peterson and I were in Cebu visiting with Tony, when the mother of all typhoons was announced on the news!!! We went to Tony and asked him how we should handle the situation, his response was simply “Let’s head to the beach”. We drove to the other side of the island where we proceeded to drink a few beers at a small bar overlooking the water. He will be missed!!!

Tony was an exceptional leader who led by example. He had a unique ability to inspire others by combining a strong vision with genuine care for his team. With an open-door policy, he listened to and supported each individual, making them feel valued. Driven by respect and integrity, Tony empowered his team members to succeed. While his work ethic was unparalleled, it was his kindness and generosity that left a lasting impact on everyone who worked with him. Your legacy will live on! Thank you for everything.

Rest in peace, Sir Tony!  The angels in heaven will welcome you to Paradise—my condolences to the bereaved family. You are in my prayers.

"Thank you for being with us during this special day, Tony. Your presence meant so much, and your memory will live on in our hearts forever. You will be deeply missed, but the love and joy you shared with us will never fade. Rest easy, our sweet Caroline. Your spirit will guide us always." •♡ PHOEBE ♡•

Tony Boy…Just like that you’re gone. 

I remember my last conversation with Tony as we joked about who was looking older and how we’re going to compare when he comes to visit. 

As my older brother you never failed to reach out to me to on my birthday, Mother’s Day or Christmas. I could always count on you check up on me and my family.
 
Tony was a wonderful brother who always cared and sacrificed  for all of his brothers and sisters.
At a young age he step into the role of a caregiver and mentor as he himself was still trying to grow up and trying  to navigate his own life. 

I was so happy when he married  Irish and started his own family. I love seeing him with his family and the love he had for them. 
Tony could make friends everywhere and loved making people laugh. He loved helping others. 

 He was so creative. Always coming up with new ideas and  wasn’t afraid to chase them down. 

I will forever miss you Tony  and am so thankful  for you and I will always cherish the memories and I will continue to pray for your family.

Rest well in peace, Tony! May the angels light your path and your heart echoes with resounding peace and serenity. I'll always remember you smiling, laughing, and so full of life. You have inspired and touched so many lives including mine when we were all such impressionable age.  You showed us how we can push our limits and break boundaries. To always think outside the box and plunge head on. You were a great leader, a mentor, a friend, with a kind hearted soul. I am grateful to have known you and thankful that I was one of the lucky ones to have shared great memories with you. No Time to Bleed, Tony! You can now Party harder to your heart's content. You will be missed!

I am heartbroken and shocked to learn about the passing of Sir Tony. As my CEO and mentor, he was an exceptional leader who inspired so many of us with his vision, dedication, and unwavering support. His impact on both the company and each of us personally is immeasurable.

Sir Tony's ability to lead with kindness and integrity set a standard for all of us, and his commitment to excellence has created a legacy that will endure. He was not just a boss; he was a true guiding force and a source of motivation in my professional life.

During this challenging time, I want to extend my deepest condolences to you and your family. Please know that Tony's spirit lives on in the many lives he touched, and he will always be remembered fondly and with great respect.

With heartfelt sympathy,

Thank you, boss, for everything you've done. Your leadership, guidance, and support meant the world to us. You will be deeply missed, and your legacy will continue to inspire us all. -ITDEV-

You always tell me, not worry too much & stress myself out because it will only make me sick. Thank you for all the laughter, never a dull moment when you are around. 

Hugs & Kisses to you Rish & the kids

Prayers offered. 
Howard, Jenny & kids

Sir Tony, Thanks for all lessons! RIP 💐

Your leadership, wisdom, and kindness touched us all. You built more than a company, you built a family. Your legacy will live on in our hearts and work.

You will be deeply missed.

Thank you for the opportunity to work with and learn from you. Your mentorship and guidance have been invaluable. You've not only been a Boss 
but a mentor.  The impact you've had on my life is immeasurable, and I'll always be grateful.

Mr. Tony wasn’t just a kind boss who treated us like family, he was a good man and a great leader. I didn’t get to meet him often, but those moments I did were truly memorable. He was a great man and an exceptional leader whose legacy will remain in our hearts forever, We will deeply miss his guidance and warm presence.

Sir Tony, when I had a turning point in my career and was so down you told me that you believe in me and that you had no doubt that I would be able to make. Those words meant so much sir. Fly high sir Tony 🕊️

You will be forever in our hearts. ♥️
You will be forever missed larger than life. 
Thanks for the friendship.

I have worked with many companies for over 25 years, but I have never come across a CEO like you. Your leadership has truly touched my heart. I never felt like just an employee at Calltek; I always felt like part of a family. Your unique combination of management and technical skills is exceptional, and you always knew how to support and guide us. 

When I heard the news, it felt like a personal loss. That day was supposed to be a celebration of Eid, but it turned out to be the saddest day of my life. It felt like losing someone close to my own family. 

You are not just a boss, but a great mentor and a constant source of support. I will always be grateful for everything you’ve done.

Sincerely,  
Davey

Mr. Espinoza,

I hope you are walking next to God right now. You showed me empathy when I needed it the most, and with the few conversations I had with you, I realized how wonderful a man you were.

No money in the world can buy what you achieved, the respect and love of everyone who interacted with you. You are shining above us, and we will continue to take your teachings with us. Thanks, sir. I do appreciate the conversations, and I will have you in my mind and remember you as you were, that fantastic person.

We were friends from Cebu City, Philippines. Photo taken April of 2016 here in Las Vegas when he came to visit me and for a business trip.
Tony, thank you for the laughters and for the friendship. Rest easy now in the arms of the Lord, my friend. You will truly be missed.

He was more than just a boss to me,  he was like an elder brother, always guiding, always inspiring. His passion for work was contagious, and his kindness made a difference in so many lives.  

It’s hard to believe he’s no longer with us. His presence brought so much warmth and positivity, and he will be deeply missed.

No one can fill the space you've left behind. Me and CallTek will keep your legacy and dreams alive.

Our chit-chats about everything will always remain fresh in my mind.
Thank you for being a part of my life.

Sir Tony

You will be greatly missed. Thanks for giving me opportunity to work and learn from you. You were like a mentor and brother to me and whatever I have now is all because of you. 
Hard to put in words but I will always remember you as a person who changed my life.

You were more than a leader—you were a friend, a mentor, and leader and a family. Rest easy, my friend. You are missed and you are loved. May God guide you in heaven.

Sending prayers for you and your family.

FOR YOU,  MY BROTHER AND MY FRIEND...
The first time I saw you, your smile was rare,
A quiet soul with a distant stare.
I could see the weight you bore,
Unsure of the path, longing for more.

I tried to be there, to stand by your side,
To show you that here, you didn’t need to hide.
And in time, you found your way,
New friends, new laughter, brighter days.

You learned our ways, our love, our care,
Slowly, you softened, started to share.
Not one for words or grand display,
But in your silence, kindness stayed.

When I needed help, you stood so near,
No words were spoken, yet I felt you here.
You calmed my heart when sorrow came,
A steady presence through joy and pain.

We shared our stories, family and past,
You listened deeply, made moments last.
You cared, though you never said,
Your actions spoke where words had fled.

Strong and fearless, chasing dreams,
Navigating life through twists and seams.
No challenge too big, no fear too wide,
With ambition and heart, you walked with pride.

Oh, how you made us laugh and cheer,
Through drunken nights and moments dear.
They called you reckless, wild, and free,
But those who knew you saw your sincerity.

You loved deeply—your family, your friends,
Always there, until the end.
A teacher, a leader, wise and bold,
Turning stories into lessons told.

Now that you’re gone, it doesn’t seem right,
Like a world without stars in the night.
But in the echoes of laughter, in memories bright,
You live on, a guiding light.

You were real, you were rare,
And you, my friend, were truly loved.

Tony,

You will be forever loved, missed, and remembered, and your legacy and the time you spent on this earth that you shared with us, where you touched so many lives in uncountable ways, will be stories to tell and forever etched in our memories. A boss, a friend, and a big brother. 'til then… Kurdapyos.

Thank you, Tony, for all the time you gave me and for helping me grow through both the good and the tough moments. You've always been there, a constant source of support. You were one of the few people I looked up to, and you always led by example. In your own special way, you showed me how important it is to take risks and follow those wild ideas. There truly is no one like you.
It's so hard to accept that God now needs you up there to continue sharing your incredible ideas in heaven. But I know you’ll give it everything you’ve got, just like you always did here. My heart feels so heavy, but I’m comforted knowing that you’ve built a family, a limitless community, all over the world.
This is so hard to put into words, but I know you understand, Tony. You always did. Rest well, and I know that one day, we’ll meet again.

My dear friend, you crazy magnificent bastard,
how could you do this to me? 
You left a way too early and left a hole way too big.
Thank you for all the happy memories, thank you for your caring kindness and thank you, for being you while you were here!

The wind carries your words, a whispered, knowing sound, Though you have sailed beyond, your legacy is found. Sayonara's soft farewell, a moment bittersweet, My boss, my friend, our souls forever meet, My mentor, your wisdom, I will always keep.
