I want to introduce Ludy, wife of Camilo. I forgot that we were together in the boarding house before. Edgar reminded me of her but I could not remember the face, sorry. Our bodies has changed a lot. Can you imagine how many years has passed and how many memories were erased by pains and sufferings! Talaga! Sarah remembered her too.
Miloy include her in our chat this Sunday. Okay? See you in Rogelia's residence.

Groupmail
Classmates,
I have created a groupmail site exclusively for all of us batch '78 who are planning to have a reunion coming 2011. For those who started communicating via email, I already put your email addresses on the list of members of our group. At the moment we are the only ones who can receive emails from the members of the group. (Namely; Sis Beck, Amie Pat, Angelita, Rogelia, Susan, Frank, Edgar T, Leandro, McFrancis and myself).
Please encourage others to submit their email address so we can add them as members of our group. Remember that only members (meaning, email address that have been encoded or added as members ) are accepted by the group email address: hchsbatch78@ yahoogroups. com . They cannot send straight messages to this group address unless they become members.
I made this to encourage everybody to become more active on this project initiated by Sister Becky about the batch reunion and may wish to interact to the group spontaneously. And also to eradicate a long lists of name recipients in the future when most of have already have an email addresses. Another thing also is that for those who are using cellphone with internet may take ages scrolling down the names before he/she can read the message.
In the case of Bobong whose time is always in the middle of the sea, I just have read his email saying that the groupmail may not work in his case as his ship's email address is common to all crews of the ship. All emails sent and received are filtered by his main office and they wouldn't come straight to their own email addresses. Maybe , Bong we can try to cc your ship's email addres and maintain the groupmail. We'll see if it works.
Guys you may still keep the individual addresses for what reason--tsismis. If you don't feel sharing the shshshshshsh keep it just for the two of you. But this site is a free wheeling kind of communication to be shared for everybody but more so for our upcoming batch reunion.
YOU mind bloggers, start publishing your blogs in the blogspot created by Sis Becky.
Sa muli,
Camilo

Sarah Araiz Borjal
Today Vigie, Edgar and I went to Cavite to visit Sarah. It was a real surprise. We could not get the contact number of Sarah so we took the risk of wasting our time and fare to go there even if she would not be around. We arrived at noon and Sarah was not there. But we did not wait for long. You can imagine what happened next.
The funny thing is there was never a conversation that was finished. We always begin with something new and something new as if we want to recall everything all at the same time. So I told the group to come early for the reunion this coming Sunday at the house of Rogelia Libot.
Miloy they requested if you could keep awake for a short while to chat with us during the day. Rogelia has 24 hours internet service. We will also create the email addresses of Vigie and Sarah. They can be maintained by their children.
Speaking of children, I have seen that the next generation has improved a lot. I have only seen handsome and pretty faces. Sana may magkasundo sa mga anak ninyo no? Posible kaya yon? Seguro mag reunion din yong mga anak ninyo. Wala akong isali. Di bale na, ako na lang ang mag organize.
You are all invited for the gathering this Sunday at Rogelia's residence. Welcome!
Bong, another schedule mo ito ha? Kailan ka ba talaga bababa? Ang daming naghihintay sa schedule na yan. Baba ka na nga.

Possible Gathering in Manila
There is a great possibility that we could also have a meeting here in Manila. I already met Virginia Acenas and was able to talk to Rogelia Libot over the phone. She will visit me tomorrow and she offered her house for a possible meeting here. I still have to contact Sarah with the help of Vigie one of these days. Please pray for this intention.

Upgrade Your Memory - This Time
Thirty Two years has passed since we sang for the last time the Pambansang Awit, marched to the narrow stage of an almost dilapidated building of our ( as I call it this time ) "dear Alma Mater", sang a couple of songs, received a piece of rolled white paper with ribbon tied on it ( and to myself ahem, with permission from Sister Becks, came up and down of the stage to receive the highest award of my pinaghirapan on our high school years - h'wag na kayong mag react), jumped for joy, making beso-beso and handshakings and bidding goodbye temporarily to each one of us.
Nobody immediately after the graduation ceremony dared to shout not even Bay Marcial who headed the platoons of young soldiers, not even Leandro who used to relay the command as adjutant, not even our own selves who at least equipped with little knowledge of "Where shall I go from here, What will i do after, How will I write or build my future" kind of questions.
So complicated thinking of the future ahead thirty two years ago. But this is it now, our future is what we live and what we are today. And let's all hope that there will be more future years ahead of us when we can turn it as our present .
But nothing is permanent except CHANGE as one school of thought maintains. I agree to that because I'm changed, and I think you all batchmates have changed too in any matter, in any situation,in any condition... I don't care because if you're really changed, I'm also changed...
You know what makes me change as different to most of us batch '77-78 guys is that all of you maintain your young image look as boys and girls of HCHS except for Marcial and Tamboy (dili na matago mga pare) but I am getting older, balder and greyer. Tigulang na gyud ko. Nagpabilin pa gihapon mong mga batan-on (again except to Tamboy and Marcial).
Thanks to the memories of the past kay nagpabilin pa gihapon mong mga batan-on sa akong panumduman kay mao ramay akong mahinumduman. Pero ayaw mo kay tanan sa atua. ako pa gihapon madumduman ang inyong mga nawong. Before we split up during our high school graduation tagsa tagsa ta namo gi scan ang inyong nawong sa akong memory kaya mga bata pa gihapon mo tan awon---mga bata ba- walay buot..he he he he he
Di katulad sa iba dyan somewhere in Bukidnon nakipagkita sa lalaking parang kilala parang hindi. Yong isa din dyan sa America isang tao at babae lang ang maalaala...
Kaya bago darating ang 2011, umpisahan n'yo nang i-upgrade memory n'yo para hindi mapagkamalang Sis Euf si Sis Becky.
Sa Muli,
Camilo

Second Meeting in Kinoguitan: March 26, 2009
Classmates,
The following attended our second meeting in Kinoguitan at around 2 pm: Tamboy, Denis, Danny, Edgar R., Felipe, Marcia, Erlinda, Amalia P., Lolita, Sol, Gloria, Mariel and Becks.
This time we discussed the project to buy piglets. Felipe commented that it is hard to raise pigs because they need cash everyday for the feeds. It will be difficult for them to sustain that project. He suggested that instead of piglets, we will buy a cow. It will be two years old by the time we will have our reunion. They will only pasture it and he volunteered to care for the cow until 2011.
The problem was the initial capital needed to buy a cow. I offered 3,000 for the piglets but we needed 6,000 for the cow. So I asked them to put up that afternoon the other 3,000. We had the following pledges: Denis 1,000, Amy Pats 1,000, Lolita 500, Felipe 250 and Tamboy 250. The target date to buy the cow is July - August. Denis and Felipe are the ones in charge of buying it.
Danny was forced by the group to donate a goat. He reacted towards the end of the meeting that he could not afford to buy one but Denis said the meeting is closed and only now you will complain? Everybody joined in and Marcia and Mariel promised to cook it. We already have calderetang kanding.
The ones designated treasurers were Marcia and Mariel. They will open an account in the bank. If you have donation please send it to Marcia and Mariel through Western Union. Please be guided that the full name of Marcia is Marcia Luisa Pamisa. Take note of that.
It is best to inform ahead in case you want to send money. Just get in touch with Becks in the email so we could facilitate the process.
It was also agreed during that meeting that we will donate brand new computers to our Alma Mater. But that would depend on how much money we will be able to raise until 2011.
We also agreed on the minimum contribution but the maximum will be up to the generosity of each one especially those who are financially blessed. At the beginning Denis suggested 500 but considering the status of some of our classmates in Kino we lowered it to 200. They have 2 years to pay that amount. Actually we thought everybody could come up with 500 but we do not want the money to be a hindrance for not attending the reunion. We also thought that those who are financially challenged might think that they could not afford the contribution so we lowered it to that amount.
With or without contribution please come. But if you have contribution give it ahead of time so we could plan on what to donate to our school. If you will give only on the day of our reunion, that money will already be savings for the next reunion.
Concerning the place, Marcia suggested that it will be in the beach but considering the situation of Denis, we decided that it will just be in the school.
So far this were the most important things that were agreed upon. Details of the affair will be discussed later.
For our merienda, Marcia cooked binignit again and Lolita bought drinks and a bottle of beer.
The next meeting will be in August. It will be Marcial who will preside it. The meeting will be held in the house of Bobong. That was a unanimous suggestion.
Agenda for the next meeting:
1. Follow up of the purchase of the cow.
2. Update of the classmates
3. T-shirt
4. Contribution
5. Agree on the next meeting
The following day, Monday Becks went to CMU to meet Amie Raf and Marcial. We had lunch together and we discussed the meeting in August. They are very willing to go to Kino. So I told Angelita that those in CDO can wait for Marcial and Amie at Puerto and go together at Kino. That would be great.
