Well, Manny and Abit - Thank you for the updates & photos. Hope this will encourage others to share their own stories. Quite interesting!!! I wonder if it is only Abit & Manny from the same class that "matched" & still feel blessed??? Any other lucky pairs? Keep it coming, folks-we all love to read those stories & see those pictures.

But, of course, it is globe-trotters like Renato, Cecilia and Alexander that can pull together last minute reunions. The warmth and care given to any Class'62 guest in California can only be due to the trio - Angel, Rod and Percy. So, who's next? I'm sure you'll love California anytime. Yet, other hosts are out there waiting too - right? Don't overdo your stints, though - save for 2012 in Baguio - See ya there - Ahmee

I wanted to let you know how good, gracious and generous those South Californians are. On very short notice (less than 48 hrs), they were able to organize, plan a dinner and for everyone to meet within the 4 days that we were in Anaheim. Cecilia, Alexander and I are always treated regally by them.

We made good use of about 3 hours just chatting about everything and nothing (politics, health insurance, economy, reminiscing, the latest of ailments among senior citizens and what afflicted us). It was enjoyable to share their company.

All I can say is get yourself out there and I am sure you will get the same treatment (if not better !!! ) from that wonderful BCHS gang and their famiies.

Hello Classmates. Many of you are wondering how Abit and I got married. Benjie Abellera had a hand in this. Well, here’s how. I was working for Leo Pharmaceuticals as a Drug Representative in 1971 and I decided to Room & Board inside the U.P. Campus in Area 17. I shared this Boarding House with Benjie Abellera and Rudy Cahulugan (I wonder where he is now?). Benjie suggested we visit Abit at Sampaguita Residence Hall, also inside the U.P. Campus. (Hey, Benjie, be thankful our marriage did indeed work out, otherwise I would be blaming you now, ha. ha.). The first visit was followed by another, and another, and by then I did not need the company of Benjie and Rudy. We tied the knot the next year, the 20th of February, 1972.

We have 2 children, Nel who is now 32, married to Abby and they have a one year-three months daughter, Nixie. Both Nel & Abby are Physicians. Maela, 31, our daughter (also an M.D.) is married to Roovin a Computer Engineer and we have a handsome grandson, Gavin, who is now a year and a month old.

I have retired but Abit, who is now known as P.I. is still working for St. Lukes Medical Center, as the Vice President, Research & Biotechnology. God has been good to us and we are indeed blessed.

A mini-reunion to reminisce and catch up on each other's lives, talked about cats, kids, grandkids & the various ailments that are slowly creeping up on us.
