About the Author.<br />
I am originally from Australia, I first visited the Philippines in 1969, loved the country, its people and its<br />
potential.<br />
I migrated to the Philippines in the mid 1980’s and started investigating potential areas to start a<br />
business. In 1987, I leased a vacant property in Iba and with Board of Investment approval, built Rama<br />
International Beach Resort, opening in December of 1988. This, I sold in 1997 and does still operate as<br />
Palmera Garden Beach Resort.<br />
I met my wife in 1988 and we married in 1992. In 1994, we decided to expand and purchased a defunct<br />
prawn hatchery property in Binoclutan Botolan and started to develop that through to opening that in<br />
1995 transferring the Rama name to there in 1997 after selling the Iba business and lease.<br />
I was instrumental in starting the Zambales Resort Owners Association (ZamROA) to promote the area and<br />
also commenced a water safety program to encourage resorts to have trained and capable lifeguards for<br />
the safety of their customers, including the training of same.<br />
After my retirement in December of 2013, I continued the water safety program with ZamROA until they<br />
dropped it in March 2014 due to concern that if some untoward accident occurred, that the association<br />
would be liable.<br />
In 2015, I formed Zambales Lifesaving Inc. (ZLI), a non-stock, non-profit organization to continue the water<br />
safety program and applied for accreditation with the Philippine Coast Guard, who, under RA9993 are the<br />
controlling body of lifeguards in the Philippines. In 2016, ZLI gained its accreditation and has operated<br />
from then until now, training Lifeguards and other programs to make Zambales Beaches safer for locals<br />
and visitors, both local and International.<br />
Thus, I have a background of almost 30 years in the Zambales Resort Industry and more than 50 years in<br />
water safety and Lifeguard training including my earlier Australian background.<br />
I am proud to say that our Resort had never, during our time running it, ever experienced a fatal drowning<br />
incident since it was never without trained lifeguards who were knowledgeable in drowning prevention as<br />
well as emergency response.
