Filipinos know Rota mags very well. They are very
popular to the average public although most enthusiasts don't recommend
them, as they are copycats from other well know brands like Ray's
Engineering or Mugen, using cheaper materials.
The
Rojases own the Rota brand. Raymond "Ramby" Rojas was my classmate at De
La Salle University, from the Honors Block of B&E 95. Being on the
Honors Block, we have unlimited cuts and absences privilege. Ramby never
attends Math classes, he shows up only during exams. And one time, he
left after roughly 45 minutes, which has an entire duration of 3 hours.
We all stared at a closed door after hearing him leave the classroom so
fast and so loud, he actually banged the classroom door just to announce
to everyone he had left. We were like wtf, he finished it so fast.
Well I finished mine in 1.5 hours, but I will not leave the room for the
rest of the 3 hours as I need to review all my answers at least twice.
And by review, I actually repeat the entire exam on a scratch paper,
without staring at my first answer, as to prevent me from overlooking
and not noticing errors on my initial answers. I normally perfect Math exams,
except when I'm careless.
So when the results of the
exam were actually available, the professor said, "only one person
perfected the exam, Mr. Raymond Rojas!" We then started clapping all are
hands. We started respecting Ramby more from that day forth. Too bad he
left after a year of schooling to go back to Ateneo, his alma mater, as
according to him, he does not fit in the La Sallian culture, and he
belongs in Ateneo more. He rarely speaks filipino, always english, and
when he does, he is "bulol" and we make fun of him because of that. We
never made fun of him after that exam. In a class full of Valedictorians
and Dean's Listers, we really cannot fathom how fast and accurate he is
in Math.
