The Victorino Mapa High School Batch 80 Alumni Association, Inc. held its first election of officers on June 25, 2005 during its Silver Jubilee Homecoming and General Assembly at the DOTC Auditorium. Registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 9, 2005, the association now boasts of 54 active members and a network of more than 130 ex-schoolmates here and abroad. Through modern communication tools, the group was able to pursue its mission of locating and uniting former classmates and friends. The Association also went online on 2005 with the launching of its two separate Homepage for its members and its growing network. Through this, the Association expanded its network to USA and Europe, with former classmates communicating regularly via the internet.
After a series of monthly board meetings, continous online chatting and never ending exchange of emails, the first project of the Association - the Pabaon Project, was conceptualized. With no funds to start with, every member exerted all their efforts in putting up a scholarship fund. Everyone in his own way did their share and exerted all efforts to raise fund for this project. All work was done voluntarily. The project, which was designed to give priority to the children of the less fortunate members of batch 80, was finally launched 3 months after it was conceptualized.
In pursuance of its Vision-Mission goal, the VMHS80AAI has committed itself to reaching out to former ex-schoolmates, uniting and bonding them for a common advocacy-to help the less-priveleged and to help develop future leaders of our society through education.Through its monthly meetings, sports and social events and regular gatherings, it is continously reaching out to members to develop and enhance each and every member's potential of promoting the advocacy of the Association. The VMHS80AAI has always stressed the value of unity and camaraderie among its members. As such, it will continuosly uphold genuine unity with a common advocacy.
