If there are batchmates of ours abroad working for the much awaited Silver Jubilee, may I also report that there is an equally vibrant group of people in Manila working towards the same direction.
Niyan na yadi ako sa Manila, didi naman ako sainda anay maupod-upod. You must have known already that ANTONIO (Topet) AYO who works with the Philippine Journal Inc., is our Vice President for Metro Manila. Sa mga dili pa nakaaram, naasawa baga niya si Marlee Casals, who is a Makati based Attorney. Both are very active in this undertaking.
The Manila group is having monthly meetings. Normally, these meeting are held in SM MEGAMALL, Bldg A, Basement, Bowling Center. This place in SM is being managed by Jennifer Ranosa. Siya an boss didto. By the way, daraga pa guihapon si Jennifer. In that place, she is known as Maam "JR".
We just had our meeting last Sunday, March 26. It was attended by Estrella Cepe-Carino, who is a Doctor (OB-GYNE) in V-Luna Hospital, Arabella Deyto (I forgot her new family name now) who is married to a Doctor. Jinky, who is a Med Tech by profession, I think, heads the Histopath Section of the Kidney Center. Bernie Donor was also there with her mother, si Mrs. Donor (an maestra ta sa Geometry), and Bernie's family. Bagan siya an ER Nurse sa PGH. She is also married to a Doctor. Nanduon din si Linda Deocareza-Mina at si Heide Fajardo Merez. I heard that both of them, being CPAs started with SGV. Linda is now the Business Manager of PNB Shangrila Plaza in Ortigas, while Heide is the Manager of Human Resources of FUJI Electric. Eddie Boy, Arsenio Sy who owns his company and Rosario Rempillo-Tabuzo were also there.
We expected other batchmates in Manila to join us. Pero dili sinda nakaabot. Siguro may mga kaulangan man. Pero we were able to talk to Amycel Lozada who even gave Annlyn's telephone, Ronnie Abitria and Luningning Santos. Amycel manages her company while Ronnie is a Civil Engineer in NAPOCOR. Ning Santos is the Chief of Records in the DENR Region IV.
Earlier, I also met Cedric Meneses and Emmanuel Ables. Both are Civil Engineers. Cedric is connected with Steel Centre Phils and is busy attending to an Airport Project in Iloilo City. Jun Ables is connected with the San Pedro, Laguna Engineering. But right now, Jun Ables is constructing a house in Sorsogon City.
Anyway, in our meeting, we talked about how to trace our batchmates in Metro Manila. Among others, we intend to publish an announcement in the TV and Newspapers calling our batchmates to register with us. We want as many as possible to attend. I volunteered my Law Office here in Ortigas as place where they can register. Its number is 910-1587/9102258. We also talked about our (Manila Chapter) intention to handle the SOUVENIR PROGRAM. We will volunteer Bernie Donor and Eddie Boy Gacias to be our point persons. We believe, the quality of the work will be so much better if it is done here in Manila, while there are possibly more donors/sponsors that we can also solicit from here in Manila. Accordingly, we will propose to Noli and company that this responsibility be given to Manila Chapter.
Arsenio Sy also proposed that our reunion should espouse a THEME. Something meaningful and timely. This theme should be the basis of whatever pattern or design that we will adopt for our T-Shirts, caps and other paraphernalias or decorations on our reunion and even for the cover of our Souvenir Program. We support this idea.
Jenny Ranosa also brought up the idea that the streamers be sponsored by big advertisers, like San Miguel, para makatipid kita.
Lastly, we also support the earlier idea of Arlene and Cesar that our batch should sponsor some meaningful and more lasting projects, like providing for scholarship to deserving children of some of our batchmates or donating computers to SNHS, and the registration of our batch as a non-stock, non-profit corporation.
Kun may nalimutan ako isurat didi, pasensiya na lamang.
Joseph
