Personal Message:
I am overwhelmed by the infectious enthusiasm of many of our
classmates expressed in their personal messages in anticipation
of our February 2008 Golden Jubilee.


And I am truly privileged to be working with a group of dedicated
classmates in the Philippines, the United States and Canada who are
contributing their valuable time and resources to ensure the success
of the event. I would like to specially mention Dely Miravite-Casalmir
who is working single-handedly and silently in building up and
maintaining this website.


Hope to see you all on February 9, 2008. And, like what Betty
Lumaquin-Garcia said, let us hope it is not ' goodbye '
after the 50th anniversary, but rather the beginning of renewed
acquaintances and friendships for the remaining years of our lives.


God bless us all!
