Another Justino Estoque Comment

Archie & Chit Mori
I have been following your on-goings on this Spot everyday while hibernating here in New Jersey and living the "American Dream" in semi-retirement. I commend all of you busybodies for your efforts to prepare for our Grand Reunion in 2012. I will soon be back in harness there to help you guys in this grand effort. Nagpapalipas lang ako ng ilan pang sandali para maka establis ng residency for our status here. But what really caught my eye in todays blog is the search for Justino Estoque. As you know, we belong to the same profession as geologists. While I have not seen him personally after our UP days after graduating in "68 and leaving Narra Residence Hall where Justino and I resided together, I have occasionally known/read about his whereabouts in the mining industry as connected to a foreign mining company based in Surigao or Agusan. I'm pretty sure he is still active in Mindanao working as a geologist since the opportunities for mining professionals are still good in the Phil. and elsewhere world-wide even in this bad economy, So, I think Leni San Agustin could be the best person to track Justino's wherebouts. Leni, just inquire from your contacts in the Bureau of Mines the active foreign companies in Mindanao and I'm sure his name will surface. This is the best lead I could give on Justino from my vantage point here.
I will not prolong my stories, as I expect to be back there very soon. Good luck and best wishes to all of you handsome guys and gorgeous ladies of Class '62. Archie Mori

Regarding Manny and Abit, those were the days, weren't they, when the U.P. Diliman campus was convulsing every now and then with anti-government, Anti-Marcos demonstrations and the university calender had to be adjusted every few weeks. But there were corners of the campus where only sweet love prevailed, and those corners were wherever Manny and Abit happened to be. Thanks for sharing your love story and precious photos of you and your wonderful family. More power and love to all of you !

Leni, how nice that you were able to get info about Justino Estoque, even if it was his namesake and not he himself. A few months ago, I bumped into a Justin Estoque at the National Museum of the American Indian in DC where he works, and I asked him whether he knew Justino, since he shares his family name and his first name is missing a mere "o" at the end. Unfortunately, he didn't, and the search for our elusive classmate went dead. But he should surface one fine day -- hopefully, before our golden jubilee celebration!

Thank you, Leni - Don't give up on any search for class'62 folks. Our blog indicates 121 more to find. Let's all keep searching till 2012-Okay? The shared note was amusing, though - you must feel "Extra blessed" - right, Leni? And, to all, please add captions and explanations to your photos since not all of us, especially me, can remember faces- narigaten ti bumaket,met! Our pool also needs to grow from P/60,000+ - Ciao, amici -Ahmee H-Nanni September 13, 2009 5:18 PM
