The August 5, 2006 reunion was a huge
success. We were not expecting a big turnout of attendees but they all
showed-up as they have promised. Its amazing to think that after 25 years,
we are going to see each other again. You see people coming in from
different places, arriving at different times, and everytime the doorbell
rings, the smile, and the warm Bedan Embrance greets each and every one
that comes in. It was like a homecoming, a reunion of the prodigal sons.
First to arrive was Mario Lasa who lives in Long Beach, CA. Then Ferdie
Laco arrived with Ton-Ton Castillo who waited at the AM/PM Gas Station
just a few blocks from Anthony's place. Then Archie came, and then a few
hours later, Joy Sabeniano joined the party. We had great foods, and
drinks and some batchmates called to talk to some of us, thanks Ronald
Pavia and Julius Gamponia for your support, we understand that you cannot
make it, but there is always a next time. We have all agreed to do this
every year. At any rate, the party continued as we moved to Onami Seafood
Restaurant a few miles away. We have some pictures to share with you. Beng
arrived at around 8:00 pm to celebrate with us, so we continued the party
in Anthony's place.
By 11:00 pm, Aymon left, Archie and Beng left around 11:30 pm, and both
ton-Ton and joy left around 12:30 am. Ferdie Laco left around 1:00 and
trying to figure out the map on the GPS. Almost everyone came using their
GPS for directions.
Over-all it was so much fun, thanks for the great day. We would like to
personally thank the following people who have made these reunion a

This
site is only as good as the info we have. We need updates of
our former classmates DEAD or ALIVE. This site will probably
expire by the year 2050. The last surviving person on this
list (shall we say the winner) should maintain this site at
all cost.
