Fellow Lourdesians,
During the last general membership meeting of our
batch held last October 27, 2001 at the LSQC high
school grounds, I stood as spokesman for three
batchmates who were unfortunately absent for three
fundraising projects for our batch foundation, namely:
1. In behalf of Erwin Paz (tel. no.372-4682), I
proposed the holding of a nine-ball billiards
tournament to be held at Side Pocket which is owned by
Erwin's family. Erwin has offered to charge only P200
for five hours per table from 12:00 noon to 1:00 in
the afternoon on a Saturday afternoon. If we will have
32 interested participants in the billiards tournament
and charging them P500 entry fee then we can raise
P16,000 easily. If we deduct the cost of five tables
at P200 each amounting to P1,000 then we stand to earn
P15,000. Maybe some generous souls can offer to donate
prizes for the winners of the tournament? I am sure
Erwin can volunteer to put up the trophies or plaques,
right Erwin? (hehehe!) So maybe we can hold our next
meeting and have a billiard tournament by the last
Saturday of November- November 24 at Side Pocket at
Quezon Blvd. If the officers of the foundation are
willing to participate in the billiards tournament-
that would make around ten and we only need 22 more
billiard players to stage the nine ball tournament. So
I encourage all interested parties to sign up so we
will know whether of not to push through with this
project as proposed.
2. I also spoke in behalf of Ruel Almario, President
of Wheelers Club who has graciously agreed to donate
P300 per new member of Wheelers Club which we sign up.
Each membership costs P600 and thus at P300 per new
sign up, and by the fact that I have already
distributed 100 application forms to those present at
the general membership meeting, our foundation stands
to gain P30,000 from this endeavor. If anyone from our
batch wishes to help raise funds for our foundation
through this project, please do contact Ruel Almario
at the Wheeler's Club office at Quezon Blvd. at
telephone numbers 926-9925 or at 926-7353. To those
who have the application forms, please contact Ruel on
how we can remit payment and the completed application
form or text me at 0919-2356-844 and we can coordinate
the remittance with Ruel on or before the next meeting
of our batch.
3. I also spoke in behalf of Roy Agustin (tel. no.
817-1928), on how we can market merchandise such as
T-shirts, umbrellas, caps, clocks, watches, and other
such merchandise using a design by Pol Medina Jr.,
cartoonist and creator of the Pugad Baboy cartoon
strip at the Phil Daily Inquirer. As Pol Medina Jr. is
my kumpare he has graciously agreed to donate the
design featuring Polgas wearing a Lourdes uniform
gratis et amore to our foundation. I have also spoken
to Jay Sioson on his price quotations on some souvenir
items he has available like the watch and clock. I do
believe that having merchandise with the LSQC82
foundation logo and/or the Polgas Lourdesian design is
a very viable venture we can undertake at the soonest
time to raise funds for the foundation. So if anyone
else has any quotations or ideas with respect to this
project please do contact Roy or anyone of the batch
officers for your comments and suggestions.
Lastly, I just want us to be able to raise enough
funds which we can spend for the medical mission Dr.
Jonas Del Rosario is planning for Feb. next year, if
enough funds, say P50,000, is available to spend on
medicines. Any suggestions or concrete proposals would
be most welcome but please do make them at the soonest
possible time so we can make our foundation's first
project a reality.
Thank you and Pax,
Adrian Lecaros

the first time. He also welcomed Ms. Teody Canave and Mr. Regie de Guzman for attending
the GMM. The President asked that his report be deferred to the later part of the program
since his report will touch on the matters in the Agenda.
B. Secretary's Report -
Atty. Literal reported to the members that the SEC Registration for the LSQC Batch 82
Foundation Inc. was approved by the SEC last September 28, 2001. The original copy was
presented before the members and photo-copies were circulated to the members.
The "Membership Book' was also presented to the members. All members were asked to
sign the 'Membership Book'. Atty. Lecaros was made to sign first since it was his
P1,000.00 contribution which started the fund raising for the Foundation.
The automatic membership of all batch mates to the Foundation was confirmed during
the Meeting. The P1,000.00 contribution, or any amount, should be voluntary in nature.
Ms. Teody Canave raided the issue on whether there would be any conflict with the LSQC
Alumni Association. Atty. Literal explained that there would be no conflict with the
LSQC Alumni Association since our is not just an association but a Foundation. Moreover,
the name itself will signify that the Foundation is exclusive to Batch 82 of LSQC and to
other honorary members to be determined by the members, i.e. adopted batch mates who were
supposed to graduate with the batch but were not able to do so and those people who have
helped the batch in their own special ways.
Lastly, the fund of P100,000.00 was raised for purposes of registration with the SEC as
a Foundation. Details of which will be discussed by the Treasurer, Mr. Leo Virtucio.
C. Treasurer's Report
The members of the LSQC Batch 82 Foundation Inc. has raised the amount of P100,000.00
for the Fund for registration purposes. Although part of the fund were loaned to the
Foundation by kind hearted batch mates (Mr. Roy Fernandez, Dr. Jonas Del Rosario, Mr.
George Escarraga and Mr. Philip Felix), the Foundation will pursue the pledges of other
members (in the Philippines and abroad) who at the moment have not yet given their
contributions.
The Foundation owes Mr. Roy Fernandez and Dr. Jonas del Rosario the amounts of P20,800
and P25,000.00, respectively. The other loans extended by Messrs. Escarraga and Felix
amounting to a little less than P10,000.00 will also be paid. Mr. Felix also promised
to give to the Foundation the amount spent for the registration of the Foundation as
his additional contribution.
9. Business Matters -
A. LSQC 82 Foundation Inc. -
(The report was presented by Atty. Joseph Literal and Mr. Philip Albert Felix)
As explained earlier, LSQC BATCH 82 FOUNDATION INC. was officially registered with the
SEC on the 28th day of September, 2001.
With regards to the P100,000.00 fund, the same can not be spent for other purposes since
the same stands as the seed money for the Foundation. On the contrary, the same shall
be increased to the desired limit or amount either through additional membership
contributions, donation, fund raising and solicitation activites.
Ms. Canave asked the question as to how long will the foundation exist. We explained to
her that the critical stages of the Foundation is the five (5) year period until the year
2007, the silver jubilee of the batch, since this was primarily the reason why the
Foundation came into existence. However, as agreed upon within the membership, the
life or existence of the Foundation, if possible, should be fifty years, or more,
since the membership agreed to the adoption of another batch to continue its purpose
and vision in order to preserve the existence of the Foundation. The specifics of
which will be discussed on the later portion of the Agenda.
The contribution of our friend, Mr. Eric Villar of the amount of P1,000.00 was also

Maybe, the Foundation can have its next meeting and have a billiards tournament at

Foundation are willing to participate in the billiards tournament, that would make
around ten (10) already and we just need to have 22 more participants to stage the

" Merchandizing (as presented by Atty. Aids Lecaros)

watches, and other merchandise using a design by Mr. Pol Medina, Jr., cartoonist and
creator of the Pugad Baboy cartoon strip at the Phil Dailiy Inquirer. As Pol Medina,

the soonest time to raise funds for the Foundation. If anyone else has a quotation or
idea with respect to this project, please do contact Roy Agustin or anyone of the batch
officers for comments and suggestions.
D. Medical Mission / gift giving (as presented by Dr. Jonas Del Rosario)
" Medical Mission -
The Batch has conceptualized to give something back to LSQC/faculty. Hence, it was proposed
that the Foundation undertake a medical mission.
At present, the Foundation plans to give LSQC faculty and staff free annual check-ups
and medical insurance. However, Mr. Roy Fernandez has raised the issue on cost. The
Foundation will spend so much of the complete executive check-up. It was suggested that
the Foundation instead give free clinics composed of doctors and dentists in coordination
with pharmaceutical companies.
Since the issue on cost has not been addressed during the GMM, the medical mission has
been deferred to some other date due to lack of funds.
" Gift giving -
The proposed gift giving was presented during the GMM. The question on the beneficiary was
raised since the membership is still not certain on whether it will focus on the depressed
communities or who ever we intend to.
Mr. Philip Felix suggested that since the batch was also planning to have a Christmas party,
every one should also bring at least one (1) canned goods with him which will then be
collected and be given to the identified beneficiary as part of the gift giving.
Ms. Canave, on the other hand, suggested that we look at our retired teachers, i.e. Mr.
Ella, Mr. Alvarez, et al. In this regard, it was suggested that we hold a party for the
benefit of the retired teachers instead. However, Ms. Canave informed the group that it
would be hard to get all the teachers into one party as experienced. She cited the case
of Mr. Ella who never even once attended any affair of the school after retirement.
Hence, it was suggested to look into the possibility of having a caroling or group home
visits instead.
E. Homecoming -
The Homecoming Committee is to be headed by:
" Atty. Aids Lecaros - Chairman
" Mr. Hernan Espirity - Vice-Chairman
The Homecoming will be both a homecoming and a batch reunion.
The Batch proposed to come up with a 'TOL Awards' as in Ten Outstanding Lourdesians Awards
or 'TOL Batch 82 Awards' limited only to successful batchmates.
It was agreed that we reserve the whole day for the homecoming or batch reunion. The batch
will have a lunch affair up to and until the celebration of the general homecoming starts
late in the afternoon.
It was also suggested that a concelebrated mass be held with our very own Fr. Tranquilino
Santos as co-celebrant with Mr. Allen Isidro who volunteered to be his faithful Sacristan.
It was also suggested that we come with one attire. Video coverage of the affair is likewise
desired for the benefit of our batchmates living abroad.
F. Organizational Set-up -
The membership confirmed the election of the set of officers and the present organizational
set until the next election of officers duly called for the purpose.
It was also suggested that a different set of officers for the Batch 82 be elected in the
future to solely take care of the batch affairs.
