recently came to town to do a recording of revival songs entitled
"thanks for remembering."  Songs from this new album includes old
favorites of great singers such as Nat King Cole's "unforgettable", Frank
Sinatra's "my way", Elvis Presley's "are you lonesome tonight", Barry
Manilow's "I can't smile without you", Julio Iglesia's "hey", and other
old hits like "the good life", "hawaiian wedding song."

A licensed civil engineer in the USA, Jun is a project manager with with
the City of Dallas Water Deaprtment.  His passion for music however
finds expression in playing the piano in his spare time, or performing
before Filipino and Asian community in Texas.  He is the brother of
Atty. Leo D. Battad, one of the members of the present Board of Trustees.

Inspired by his visits with the street skids of Paramount and Crossing
at EDSA and the dedicated work of the SDC staff, Jun readily agreed to
donate the proceeds of his CD album to the cause of the street children.
Donations on proceeds from the album would help shelter and educate the
street children of Metro Manila under the auspices ofthe Streetchildren
Development Center (SDC), Inc.  In his words, "what matters most is not
profit, but what I can do, no matter how little, to touch the lives of
the street children of Manila.  My first CD is dedicated to them."
