SCPS Batch81

Congratulations Batch '81! We had set a record not only in attendance but also in the total amount of pledges. Thanks to the witty and funny ad libs and convincing power of Fr. Danny. A computer and 40 units of chairs will be donated to SCPS plus a computer for the school where Sr. Connie is teaching.

56 Silver Jubilarians came, out of 128 and many of them we haven't seen for many years. 10 vehicles were filled to the brim during the caravan and a loud fireworks greeted us upon our arrival at the school. 3 priests concelebrated during the mass. Fr Gau Sustento, SCPSAA prexy, flew all the way from Manila to witness the celebration.

The program started w/ a simple but solemn offering of flowers at the monument of Fr. Van de Kamp followed by a series of speeches from our former teachers and classmates. We stopped around 12 noon to savor the lechon..err the sumptuous lunch before we proceeded to the election and project proposal. The games and the raffle were the most awaited part because of the big, big prizes courtesy of Inday Helena. An impromptu dance concert and beer conference took place until 6pm. The heavy downpour gave us an excuse to stay a little and have a tête-à-tête with our former classmates.

To cap the day, we were ushered to a despedida dinner party, hosted by the Calopizes.

The night before, a welcome dinner party was held at the Cabalfin's w/c lasted until the wee hours. Many hugs & kisses were exchanged before we parted ways. Jaime Vego even gave a short speech to the surprise of everyone. Whether he's drunk or not, I guess he's just happy to be reunited once again w/ his former classmates.
