Batchmates,

"Batch '82 Reloaded" held last Saturday was a success!!! It was one fellowship affair that launched another milestone in the history of our batch.

We are proud to announce that we now have our own official COAT-OF-ARMS (CREST) and all-new batch shirt made of DRI-FIT material being used also by leading brands. We will be in the process of registering our "crest" in the international registry for coat-of-arms.

Moreover, we would like to inform everyone that we now have our very own WEBSITE. You can now log-on to www.lsqc82.org. Our ultra-creative webmaster will further announce details about this development. This won't be possible without the support of PHOENIX LAND, INC., a property developer headed by our very own, Donny Pile.

We will now be focusing our efforts to our homecoming in 2007 to be chaired by Doc Jonas del Rosario aside from our projects both existing and those being "pipelined." The plans and programs have been presented and it will be posted anew for the benefit of those who were not able to attend.

Our profuse gratitude to our generous sponsors for making our fellowship night very memorable: RECHARGE PLUS! headed by "muy simpatico" APaul Fausto, EXCORE, INC. of Donny Pile (again!.....please don't get tired supporting the ideals of the batch) and the transportation company of Anton Pascual.

Special mention to LINEAR DYNAMICS, INC. of Edmund Lopez for the tarpaulins used and to Glenn Rosales for printing some of our batch shirts "pro-bono" using the sublime printing method.

To my fellow management committee (MANCOM) members: Jojo Gonzales, Leo Virtucio, Philip Felix, Joseph Literal, Toti Esguerra, Jonas del Rosario, Dong Bernardo, Roy Fernandez, Raul Clemente and Donny Pile for your invaluable support.

Our hats off to Reggie Apostol and Bernie Bolisay and most specially to Jojo Angus for being the over-all chairman of the event. To all batchmates (you know who you are) who have continued supporting all the endeavours of the batch without any fanfare. We are encouraging everyone to be part of the continuing saga of our batch.

Thank you to Ms. Abbey Aquino, alumni affairs coordinator and Mon Cabigao '79 for taking care of the logistics.

And last but not the least, to all our guests who have graced our affair: Mr. Reggie de Guzman, Mrs. Teody Canave, Mr. Epifanio Paras, the representatives of LSQC alumni association headed by Roehl Dumlao and LSManda alumni association headed by SOL Mane Fernandez.

Mabuhay po ang samahang walang kakupas-kupas...BATCH 1982! Mabuhay ang mga taga-Lourdes! Kudos to everyone...I am proud to be part of the batch!

Pax!

George

PS The mini-presentation can be viewed in our new website. DVD copies are available upon request. The all-new batch shirts are now available for sale at Php500.00.


Batchmate, you know I wish you came. It was a general assembly of batch'82 with invites pa from the former faculty members, LSQCAA and LSMAA. Read on kasi medyo mahaba but worth your while.

Hanep sa attendance may 40 lahat lahat.

6PM. Reggie Apostol and Bernie Bolisay at the registration table that gave up smiles for those who came. Arnel Agustin came with his family and so did Philip Felix.

7:15PM. Start kami with a song "Prayer of St. Francis" sang by Kundinara via VCD. Hey guys, kasama anak ni Glenn Rosales sa Kundirana! Tapos si lolo Glenn ang pinaawit namin ng Lupang Hinirang.

Nag opening remarks si Prez George Escarraga. Report siya to the batch the past, on-going activities and discussed upcoming projects for and by the batch and for the alumni association as well. (Serious ang lolo ah! Lapit na 2007!) May explain pa siya saan direction ng batch at THX Matrix pa. (Matrix? Hmmm. Kaya tinawag bang RELOADED etong fellowship?) Anyway, review attached slideshow.



Dr. Jonas del Rosario as emcee was "just what the doctor ordered." hehehe! Walang dull moment and the program went on smoothly. Tawanan dahil kwela! His wit and timing was eksakto sa situation and personality.

Tapos ito ang other HIGHLIGHT ng gabi. Nagpalabas si Raul Clemente. Ipinakita ang galing and creativity ng lolo Raul.

Now Showing - eleskyusi eytitu proudly presents... BATCH'82 LOGO RELOADED (concept ni Prez George). May pinakita sa palabas na sina Yoda, Darth Vader, Darth Maul and R2D2 were part of the audience watching.

Ang beginning e parang Matrix! Green numbers dropping, musical scoring, the works! Taas balahibo!! Hanep! Ang tindi! Pu%@#$*, grabe ka Raul! Mga samu't saring reaksyon habang pinapanood at pagkatapos ng show.

Aba, we watch the Batch'82 Logo Reloaded TWICE! Kasi may significance ang laman ng logo. The color, cross, sun, stars, Pegasus. we were in awe! Then Dong Bernardo formally launched the LOGO presentation by means of a life-size tarpaulin print out. (yung tarpaulin itself gawa ni Edmund Lopez at yung kinalalagyan ng tarpaulin concept nang committee at ginawa ni Toti Esguerra.)

The batch'82 logo is the batch's coat-of-arms. It is now used and printed for the batch t-shirt exclusively (your spouses bili mo din). The batch t-shirt was worn and modeled by the Felix family - Philip, Shirley and their son, Edric (Lourdesian all eh!) with Mon Ycasiano. (Dito laglag si lolo Mon ni lolo Jonas. Sapol si Mon ng pang aalaska ni Doc. Bagay daw kay Mon yung t-shirt kasi lutang na lutang ang kulay ng shirt! Hahaha! Di pa yun, laglag din ang lolo Philip dahil na ampon nila si Mon! HAHAHA!!)

Patay sindi ang ilaw para sa mapanood sa dilim ang palabas. Comment ang Doc Jonas, "Ang batch na ito talaga, mahilig sa patay sindi ang ilaw!" (May rectangular window sa leftside ng IM Center.) Hindi nag-paawat si Erwin Paz lumapit sa said window at humirit, "dito tayo pumili. ayun si number." HAHAHA!!!

Next was a preview like presentation parang excerpts -

LSQCFILMS 1982 presents WEB WARS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE BATCH. (Huh?!. Lord of the Rings???) It was presented in a Star Wars: a Lucasfilm fashion. The words nag rolling forward na slightly. hay naku, basta parang Star Wars complete with musical scoring!

Heto pa ang titles-- Episode I: the phantom website. Episode II: the e-groups strike back. Episode III: attack of the lookalike clones. Episode IV: revenge of the site. Episode V: website revolutions. Episode VI: dot org begins. Wow re-launching ng website! Batch'82 na ang may-ari ng site!

TALAGA!!! Palakpakan!! Ang galing! Ang husay! Ano pa? Aba panoorin niyo to see - to see is to believe!

Then lolo Toti introduced LSQC HS Principal Regie de Guzman in formal yet with subtle tease and snicker. Doc Jonas called Mr. Paras, Ms. Canave, Roehl Dumlao LSQCAA President to speak to the group while Mane Fernandez SOL (LSMAA) President salita din who gave a badge to the batch as their tradition of giving a memento. The batch received high praises from each speaker.

Ako? Proud to be Lourdesian, proud to be '82 afterwards. Bakit? I didn't feel their was a section classification that night, referred to as a batch! Even may hang-ups ako nung time natin sa high school wala na yun sa akin. charge to experience na lang. Ano ba maitutulong ko? Paano ko masususklian ang eskwela ko? Habang may tanong ako na ganyan, aba may natutunan pa ako while around batchmates. Di pala huminto ang learning ko from schoolmates.

Anyway, then we went downstairs para kumain, catching up kwentuhan with old classmates, masayang "Picture! Picture!" at inuman (daming beer at chichirya). Ay, si Joey Abarquez nag-uwi pa daw ng 2 6-pack na beer! Hehehe! Ayos!

Benta ng batch t-shirt (ganda talaga!) O! BUY YOUR T-SHIRTS NA while coordinating with me (mobile # +63 927 2746924) for a DVD or VCD copy of the 2 featured presentations that night.
