It is a distinct honor to extend my warmest personal greetings and congratulations to the Members of the Organizing Committe of the Reunion 1999 and the members of the UST BS Architecture Batch 1989 on the occasion of our 10th year Anniversary reunion.

The inspired decision of the Organizing Committe of this reunion started when a group of our batchmates met at Gerry's Grill. In attendace were Desmond Ong, Eric Cuisia, Jonathan Gan, Mon Olano, Jerome Ngo, Dante Yatco, Sanny Santiago, Karel Banogon, Tog & Alecs Montecillio, J-Mar Unas, Reniel Chavez, Daniel Go, and I, John Diaz.

With this core group, it bloomed to more than 30 members and became the first Organizing Committe who shared our ideals and goals & committment.

A series of meetings, brainstorming coordinations and solicitations culminated. Allow me to congratulate each and every one who have contributed to this event's success. I may not have mentioned you all but thank you.

As we move towards the new millenium, we meet challenges ahead of us cognizant of the past, mindful of the present and deliberate of our future. I ask you all, Members of UST BS Architecure Batch 1989 to unite and be solid. To get in touch with someone specially our batchmate who may give us strength and determination & motivation in achieving our goals and dreams.

So in ending, It is my belief that with your help we will continue to live and thrive together with fervor of good friendship and concerted effort to build a better life we deserve.
