Thanks for the info Mng Vic! I saw part of a video of the PAAL Reunion of my sister Beatriz at my Mom's house last Sunday. I saw you making a speech but I could'nt hear because of the crowd noise. I have to borrow & watch the tape again. Looked like a fun, successful reunion you guys had!

Thanks, Fred! I met your 2 sisters at Polly's place. Purita is my classmate during our Elementary days up to high school. I was able also to take some video clips of your sister during the PAALL night. Will send a clip to you after I have downloaded it in my hard drive.
My compliments to them. They are still gorgeous looking like the days when we were still in Asingan during the 50's- 60's..They are also as friendly as ever..!
During the Rizal Academy night, I chatted most of the time with Nemesio, your brod in law. I was not too much for dancing ( cuz I am not good at it ) but I preferred walking around and conversing with long time friends ( and newly found ones ).
I am not too much for Public Speaking too. My voice is soft and no wonder you did not hear me that much and it could not rise above the noise of the crowd. But one feels a little "high" going up there and saying a few words to the home grown crowd.
What I really love during these reunions are the the reunions ( even if these are just short ones ) with old friends.
During the PAALL night, I talked with Fidel Agsalud, brod of Tristan and Noemi. I learned later that Fidel's better half is the current Dean of the Asingan PSU.
During the Balikbayan night, while the coronation is going on, I found Rodrigo Esperon ( the older brother of General H. Esperon ), Sammy Arzadon and half an hour later, Rogelio Vicencio, a class '58 join us too in our conversations back stage. Covered a lot of lost years with both of the class 58. Rodrigo is "popular" with our Grade 5 teacher before in Dupac because he had the knack of raising the Blood Pressure of our teachers each time he entered the classroom!
But hey, more than 50 years later in 2009, we are back in Asingan, laughing, happy we are still alive and kicking!..
He invited us to his family house the next day with Rogelio. Was not able to make it because of our trip to Baguio with the a few friends. Rudy and Rogelio, it turned out were also close friends before. Rodrigo said.."Do not miss coming tommorow. There are a lots of good drinks in the house because the General will be arriving tommorow!..."---#
