Hello to everyone specially my 4-S classmates. Thanks for posting the Salamisim pictures.... I took a test and found out I still remember every single one of my classmates.... hindi pa pala ako masyadong matanda. Sayang hindi kami makakapunta ni Mir. Di bale we’ll wait our turn na lang sa 30th reunion. Nel I’ll pray na matuloy ka nga. We still haven’t heard a word from Didi, Erly, & Annie. If any of you ay maliligaw sa Bay Area (San Francisco), let us know. Kumusta na lang sa lahat.

I'll try to attend the reunion and hope to see most of you there. Sayang we can't all be there on that day, pero ok lang. Just hope many will be there...so we can share what has become of us after 25 long years...thanx to the organizer!

For Recy, Carol and the rest, 

We understand that we may not be able to be physically together in the upcoming 25th year reunion for reasons beyond our control.  To follow-up Carol's suggestion (and generous offer to classmates especially in California), we would suggest that you guys have get-together on the same date we here in Olongapo are having the reunion then we'll get in touch thru cyber-space. We can either chat using the internet or better yet, we'll provide live video streams while we are having one party going on in three or four different places of the globe. This could be a first in SJS history and we have the know-how, the equipment, and "the will" to do it. 

John Salonga we are happy for you, follow the Calling, we sure hope to have a Priest in our group.  Right now we have Pastors and Ministers in the person of Alfredo Morales Cabbab, Benigno Jobenal Panis and Roel Ronquillo Dabu       

The following are information about our classmates we gathered during the 8 Nov meeting, present whereabouts of most of our classmates are posted in list of SJS School Year 1977-1978 Graduates with marking on those who have confirmed to attend the 25th year reunion  Graduates of SJS'78 (Need Password)

Katatapos lang ng pistang patay, so we traced who from among our batch already joined our Creator, here's the list that we have:

Renato Nicolas Garcia, Elizabeth Talavera Oliveria, Rolando Cundangan Esparas, Dionisio Baltazar Joaquin, Teodoro Ferrer Morados, Danilo Lacsina Quiambao, Eddie Santos Dominguez and Dante Doctolero Lejarde.

          God Bless their Soul.

happy to hear from some of our classmates...the sad thing is that I would not be able to join the celebration sa december....hard to get a flight, peak season and walang available seat kasi less airlines ang papuntang Phils.
I saw Betong sa mall and mentioned to him ang dates ng reunion-- they are planning to go but December next year- i gave him the site address.
Lye, I rang Mila-- I was told that she's staying with her brother Pasas (Simon) in Melbourne. I rang her twice, spoke to her son and daughter on separate occassions-- I was told she's away-- sa Bali daw-- haven't heard from her yet. I left a message kay Rey Buto--masyadong busy-- will ring him again later... I'm trying to get hold of Nelson's new address and phone number so I can contact him....     
I hope there will be a lot na classmates na mag- attend- so it will be fun--
I'll try and send pictures of my family and tell Rey J, Betong, Nelson and Mila to do the same.....
Regards to everyone and will keep in touch....

Breeezzzzy and chillllyy greetings from New Orleans, LA, USA. I am really happy that you have sent me some informations regarding our forthcoming 25 year
re-union. Although I will not be there, I wish for the very best homecoming and I wish too that everybody will have time to get know each other again, but this
time...the Christian way.
I have been out of the U.S Navy since September of 2000, and I entered a religious life. I have been a seminarian of the Columban Fathers, and I was there
(in Cubao, Quezon City) from June 2001-August 2002, as part of my formation program. Hopefully, I will become a full pledge Fr. Juan Salonga after 6 more years, and hopefully become the next pope (just kidding). I have
also the chance to see you in the local TV channel as a city councilman.
Regards to the family, and to all of our classmates.
More power and goodluck.

Your brother in Christ,
Carol

Mga classmates,
Kamusta na kayong lahat. Wala pa akong naririnig mula sa mga lV-E dito sa States. Alam ko si Imelda ay nasa San Francisco, Si Febe and Babes ay nasa San Diego.
I'm really sorry na hindi ako makakauwi. December 27 ay Olongapo City 
Fiesta dito sa San Diego at induction ng aking mother as President.

   
Suggestion duon sa mga katulad ko na hindi makakauwi. Kung nandito kayo sa California ( or kung nasaan man kayong State)mag mini-reunion nalang tayo, nandito ako sa Murrieta, an hour away from San Diego, dito natin gawin sa bahay ko, free food and lodging, ang importante ay magkita kita tayo. 

Edwin, nakakainggit ang inyong mga meeting at preparation diyan. 
Suggestion siguro maganda kung magkaroon tayo ng parang souvenir program 
pagkatapos ng reunion ang printing para lahat ng event at lahat ng 
litrato na makukuha ay makasama. 

Congratulations sa mga classmate na nag retired sa Navy. I'm all very 
proud of you. Nag retired na rin ang mister ko after 25 years last 
October 1st.

Arnold and Lye, kamusta na kayo, ilan na ang naging anak ninyo? 
magpapadala ako ng picture sa e-mail. tatlong babae ang aking anak, they are 
9, 8 and 3 1/2 years old.

Recy, kamusta na, keep in touch.

Dante, kapatid, malapit ka lang, mag pasyal ka naman dito sa amin. 
Nandito si Junie sa Pasko from georgia.

Nasaan si John Salonga? remeber John nandoon kami ni Lyla Munchal ng 
nag graduate ka sa Boot Camp mannnny years ago.
Keep in touch and God Bless to all.

here is the address I have for pedro basilio. I had this when we had 
our 20th SJS reunion here five years ago. I have not tried it yet 
because its 2:25 am here. 

Tel (206)340-0355 Address 308 4th Ave Apt 724, Seattle WA 98104.

regards, 

Carol

Ay akala ko si Pete Basillio yon, nataon pa kasi na birthday nya yong date ng North California reunion kaya I presumed na sya yon, thanks for info.
Nagpunta na dito si Roger Magbutay kahapon, dami nga nya kilala dito, (pwede na rin kumandedato sa susunod na election he he he). Sasama sya sa planing meeting on Saturday sa Oceanview, dry run na siguro ng reunion yon.
We'll send you pics of that affair and will bring camera sa visits to our classmates places.
Hintayin namin kayo, miss na rin kayo nila mareng edith at janet.
God Bless

Pareng Edwin,
Just to inform you, the ph number posted under Pareng Pete Basilio is not a good number. Kapareho lang ng pangalan. Isa pang suggestion, kung mag babahay kayo, it'll be great to videotape our klasmeyts or just take some pictures para sa VCD natin.
Later,

Hi Jim, glad to hear everything is fine with you. Hindi ka pa rin nagbabago, you still look the same as when we were in 3rd year ang nagbago lang ay ang edad natin. Maganda ang design mo sa T-shirt ng reunion baka naman puwedeng bumili kahit na hindi kami maka attend. That will be a big help for the reunion if all of our classmates outside Pinas will buy a t-shirt (1 or 2) for a little bit higher price plus shipping. What do you guys think? It will be nice to have a remembrance. Jim, meron ka bang information kay Jessie? Any info. will be helpful. O sige, regards to all and take care.

Mareng Lye,

WOW ngayon pa lang excited na kami sa souvenir VCD! Great idea!
Di pa nagpapakita si Roger Magbutay, pag iigihin namin paghahanap para sa Sabado ay makasama namin sa meeting, di ko alam na nakauwi na sya, sayang siguro nandoon yon sa puntod ng tatay n'ya kahapon, napuntahan ko sana.
Tanong ng tropa kung okay lang i-attach na lang sa e-mail yung video clips at pictures? wag lang siguro masyado malaking file ano?
Sa mga magpapadala thru Fedex, advise nyo ako, meron tayong 25% to 50% discount depende sa weight.

After the Saturday meeting siguro, we'll have clearer picture kung ilan ang sasama, we here have agreed to make house visits to our classmates to ensure that they are informed (and persuade them to join). That is aside from the invitational postcards we sent thru mail. To those who are overseas specially in US mainland, please try to give us update if ever you contacted somebody from our batch.  The last one we contacted just last week was John Salonga.

Sa mga klasmeyts na nasa labas ng Pilipinas, kung di kayo makakauwi ay pwede sanang magpadala kayo ng maikling video o kahit litrato sa email ko o sa koreo (PSC 812 Box 3210 FPO AE 09627). I-eedit ko kasama ng reunion at para magkaroon tayo ng souvenir VCD.
Edwin-Pwede bang malaman kung ilan na ang nag-sign up?
Si Roger Magbutay nagpakita na ba dyan?

Hello Abraham,
Greetings! To you and to your family
I received your message pare last week pacencya ka na bro medyo nagging busy ako dito sa pag-oorganize ng ating reunion malapit na. I hope makapunta kayo rito sa Pilipinas at masaksihan ang ating affair.
Si Jessie nga pala ay nasa states na rin at si Greg naman ay nasa Saudi, si Jerry andito lang. I have 3 kids and my wife from Columban College batch ’86. I’ve been working in SBMA kaya lagi akong nasa field. Sa ngayon mahirap ang buhay kayat meron akong konting sideline, artworks n decors pero dito lang sa bahay wala akong pwesto at kami lang ng aking pamilya ang nagtutulungan.
I hope sa susunod ay tuloy-tuloy ang ating communication. Marami kang ikukuwento sa akin at ganun din naman ako lalo na sa mga ka batch natin.
Thanks for remembering our high school days.
GOD BLESS. . .

Congratulations for a successful reunion. Its Saturday evening here and
I just talked to my mother and she told me about the warm hospitality
you have given her. She was very honored and humbled. I told her that we
were classmates and you were so quiet then. E-mail me some photos if
you can.
Regarding our class 78 reunion,I told my Mom to give you 1,000 pesos
for my donation. Please add this to your funds and use it for anything
that you might need. Unfortunately I won't be able to go home but let me
know what I can do.
