Torres High School Batch '78 News Page
     "Our aim is to link us together as we prepare for our 25th Grand Anniversary Reunion in the year 2003."


Reminder:  The Second Manila Core Meeting

MANILA MEETING-FELLOWSHIP
     Fr.Erick is hosting the small party intended for those who are in Metro Manila on August 12, Saturday at 3:00 p.m. at the Manila Cathedral College, 287 Tayuman Street, Tondo, Manila.
      We will have a one-hour business meeting regarding the batch plans, most specifically the BIG FAMILY DAY tentatively slated in October.  It will be followed by an endless" fellowship and videoke party; food and drinks are on me.  Jesie Guevara-Moran and Perlie Gonzales will prepare a three-hour repertoire (Take a bow, Concert Queens!). 
      YOU SHOULD NOT MISS THIS AS THIS WILL BE HIS ADVANCED BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION (actual day - August 20)!  We'll have an avalanche of stories, fun, songs and laughter . . . and food, too.    YOU CAN TAG ALONG YOUR SPOUSES AND KIDS . . . JUST INFORM ME. The kids can stay either at our kindergarten room or read some good books at the library.  They can also watch a movie or two . . . or play with our friendly dog, DUANE.  I also have a friend who owns a PYTHON . . . in case, they're interested. I'm sure we'll have a good time . . .
     INGGITIN NATIN ANG MGA TAGA-CANADA AT USA! 
    PLEASE RSVP SO THAT HE WILL HAVE AN IDEA OF HOW MUCH FOOD AND DRINK TO PREPARE
     Take note that the Manila Cathedral College is NOT in Intramuros (a common mistake, actually).  It's in Tayuman, right besides the Immaculate Conception Church.  (The other church in Tayuman corner Rizal Ave. is Espiritu Santo.  It's one jeepney ride away from my church going to the direction of Pritil). 
Cyber Reunion Part II
Isa Pa Nga !

     The CyberII was a flop??? 

      In terms of attendance from the group in Cyber I, it was.  Only half of the first group came back.  But we have many newcomers who were just as funny and just as crazy.  It was just as fun.
     In terms of what we accomplished?..... we decided to hold the Grand Reunion in Aling Miling's and our "handa" is fish balls.  Is that synonymous to nothing?
     For the lack of quorum... and order in the chatroom (latter is expected), we left the agenda behind and concentrate on having fun.  And we had lots of fun from 10:00 pm until  2:30 am EST.

Ang Barkada Ko
Featuring the famous and not-so-famous peer-groups in THS

McCool Hits

     Music brings people together.  Ariel Ciego, Jollo Semilla, Mon Salas and Val Buzon formed the group McCool Hits who graced the THS stage and homeroom gatherings so many times.  The group was joined by 2 honorary members...Riz Bautista & Tony Fajardo much later.  We will never forget those days when we bring our guitars and jam and sing some hits from the bleachers in the THS oval. 
     The highlight of the group is a number featuring THE Joseph Gelito as Sampaguita in the Bonggahan number on the stage.  We were practicing for a number hours before the performance when Joseph walk in and impromptu asked us to play Bonggahan and the empty room got filled with spectators so we decided to do the number with Joseph G.

Before & After

Romy, our 3rd honorable mention in the Special Science Class, is as humble as he was back in High School.  He and his family resides in Winnipeg, Manitoba... where he was awarded his Canadian Citizenship just recently.
