On the record Alumni Homecoming - The Golden guys at the reunion
Left to right- Thats Me Bong Vallejos GS 58, Arthur Senen and Mr Bautista HS 58
Upon the email of FR. Denny Lucas, I attended the DWCL Alumni reunion Dec 30 in Laoag. Honorees were the class batches of 1958 GOLDEN and 1983 Silver. The silver guys are younger, more active so they were the organizers movers.
The 1958 batches of Elemetary.. that's us guys.. HS 1962. The HS 1958 group was Arthur Senen amd Mr Bautista in the pictures in this blog. Anyway in our drinking session at Max ( we drink beer na and Fundador for Hugo ... not beer gin coke ),we remember that the HS 1962 team can beat the college team at that time. With such superstars like leftie Oscar Tumaneng, forward jumpshooter Henry Chua and magulang guard Maning Pascual. And do not forget me Bong, I was also a member of this dream team. That was 45 years and 45 pounds ago. During those years, basketball was the common denominator and then beer gin coke from mang marnies corner store at the basketball court.
I nagged benjie datoc and Reny valenciano to come to laoag. But Rene had his son from Australia visting. Benjie had to attend a funeral of his relative babang cabanos. Was he the ex president of Veterans Bank? Orlino Arroyo had his angioplasty procedure; and he is okay. The Doctor has to close a valve somewhere.
We had a drinking reunion?? at max. BUt only light drinking except Hugo who had fundador. Sayang Reny valenciano was not around-we were ready to carry him back home just like the last time. Who were there? See the pictures. Willy Peralta is retring from CAB. Oscar Tumaneng is still Oscar-has a son with NOKIA in Morocco-thats near Spain. Hugo has 2 daughters I know-January who prints my email so his dad can read it and another who works at Smart Baguio.Now I know why Hugo is out of town often enjoying the City of Pine Trees. Dionidan Cid was also at the session and Cesar Balais and another friend.
