First Meeting: April 19, 2009

Classmates

During the meeting in the morning of April 19, 2009, only six of us were there: Tamboy, Danny, Sol, Mariel, Marcia, and Becks.

We decided to go around and visit our other classmates in the afternoon to know why they did not come. Tamboy did not go with us anymore but Edgar Ramoso joined us. We hired a tricyle and we went first to Buko. We were so lucky to see Urbana Carmona Asetre who was there to visit a relative. We talked to her for a while and got her mailing address. She lives now in Lunao, Gingoog City. Then we visited Noe Basadre but he was not around; we proceeded to the house of Gloria Salazar Legaspi; then went to Esperanza to visit Amalia Patriana but she was not around. We proceeded to Bolisong and visited Erlinda Ignilan Bagotsay; we were able to talk to her. On our way back we visited Evangeline Igcalinos and got the contact numbers of Alicia Pesaras Pamisa, Maria Joncada, Victorina Clemens and Eva Paraguya Henricson. Then we proceeded to Sumalag and met Lolita Lacre.

Most of the reasons that hindered them to go for the meeting was the feeling of inferiority. They were ashame to interact with their classmates once again. The visit did a lot of good especially in bridging the long gap that already existed among us.

We scheduled another meeting for the following Sunday and during the weekdays I decided to go to Cagayan de Oro City to visit our other classmates there.
