At 83, Pablo S. Sarmiento (PS), does not fully understand the meaning of “retirement”. The very idea of calling it a day — of doing nothing but enjoying the bounties of a lifetime of labor — has never appealed to him. His idea of rest is talking about business, negotiating to buy a piece of land, organizing or reorganizing his present business. To PS business is both work and fun… He finds WORK relaxing and REST very stressing.
The three brothers were hard-working, but people who knew them in their youth through early years as businessmen single out the youngest as the masipag — the one who worked longest and stayed on a job until it was finished. Mr. Feliciano Paguia, who worked with the brothers in their clothing and remnants business shortly after the War, recalls that “Mang Pablo was really focused on whatever he was doing. Talagang walang patawad sa trabaho. Maski na Mahal na Araw, lumalakad.”
