A PHOTO EXPO: Where are we (Batch83) now?

By Vicboy de Lima

March of 1983. Shouts of joy abound the campus of Ateneo de Naga. Raised fists in triumph, we were graduating from high school.

Fast forward to the present. What happened to the smiling bravado of the members of HS Class 1983? Where is Batch 83? The answer is we are in a lot of sectors in society (education, religious life, armed services, public service, banking, business, construction, maritime, health, medical and law professions) and all over the globe ( Australia , Europe , Far East , Middle East , North America ). Always having a ready smile as these photos will clearly show:
