At first, as he claims, it was a steep mountain to climb living and working away from home and family. However, his dream to send his brother to college encouraged him to take a stand and face the challenge. Ten years later, he settled with his wife and is children in Ireland.
Cres finished his nursing degree from n Iligan Medical Centre College. Upon his arrival in Ireland, he discovered that almost half of the population of his batch, his tutors and and clinical instructors were already working in the country, Cres began working in private nursing homes and as an agency nurse before he was given an opportunity to train, and at the same time, work in the Mater Hospital’s intensive care unit. A year after arriving, he was in a position to invite his wife to join him from the Philippines.
His wife, Chadney, is a medical technologist. At first, following the conditions of her entry visa, she wasn't allowed to work. Later on, she was eligible to work and started out as a health care assistant in one of the nursing homes in the country. She got pregnant and gave birth to an Irish-born daughter which later led to her not needing a work visa and landed her a job as a phlebotomist in Mater Hospital.
Many of Cres’ Filipino colleagues live near him in Glasnevin, Dublin, and they have weekly household prayer meetings. Cres is a coordinator for programmes such as Youth for Christ, which is a family ministry ofCouples for Christ Ireland Ltd.
According to Cres “it is not all about money but about helping people in the community by addressing social and cultural concerns”. He travels home to the Philippines as often as he can, but it is expensive for a family of five.
