CLASS 1988 HOMEPAGE
Class of 1988
    SIGN-UP  
Dear Teachers, Batchmates and Friends of the Meycauayan College Class of 1988:

This is a overly fast note regarding the most fun and productive 20th Class Reunion in the history of mankind!!! Although not known as a master of overstatement, I can state unequivocably that the reunion was a SMASHING success!!! Received have been a number of notes of appreciation to the planners/coordinators. The goals of reuniting and renewing friendships, and even making new ones with classmates, and friends not previously known, were succeeded beyond the planning committee's fondest expectations!!

Hopefully, a number of photos of the 20th reunion events and people will soon be posted on this website, thanks to the superb efforts of the official and informal class photographers. The editing and posting process is taking longer than anticipated, but keep looking in. And please feel free to post your own reactions and comments on the Message Board. Or email me or write me directly, via
allangrajo@yahoo.com and I'll post what you want.

But back to the present....and the future. It's too bad that the 25th reunion is five years away (mark it down in January 2013 - tentative). It will also be an amazingly fun gathering. I'll keep you posted here of the plans and progress.

In behalf of the ccordinators, we would like to thank you all for coming on this event.

I would like also to thank those who helped and gave suppport in making this reunion successful and worth remembering...

mga batchmates,

after a very long time, it seems the much awaited reunion of our batch is turning slowly but surely into reality. imagine, after waiting for almost 20 years, ilang buwan na lang ay magkikita-kita na tayo to have the chance to see and chat with our long lost barkadas and friends. i'm sure, on that day, there'll be lots of things to talk about.

nandiyan yun kwentuhan tungkol sa mga dating crush na di na nakuhang ligawan at dinaan na lang sa ligaw tingin at tsansing, este, palipad hangin. kasing ganda pa rin kaya sila tulad ng dati? naging napakabuti kaya sa kanila ng kalikasan at napanatili pa din nila ang kanilang alindog at kahali-halinang mga ngiti? syempre nandiyan din yun mga dati nating kinaiinisan. nagbago na kaya sila? 'pag nakita kaya natin sila ay maiinis pa din tayo o mapagpapasensiyahan na? lalo namang di mawawala sa magiging kwentuhan yun mga kalokohang ating ginawa nuon--yun inuman sa "round table" na tindahan sa kahabaan ng malhacan bago dumating sa kantong patungo ng annex, yun pagpasok sa room na nakainom at kung anu-ano pa. sigurado ako na anumang kalokohan iyon eh they were all done out of curiosity and in the spirit of fun. o siya, medyo bastos na kami pero maginoo pa din.

sari-saring kwento-- yan ang naghihintay sa reunion ng MC highschool batch '88 na mangyayari sa january 5, 2008, sa MC main. maganda man o hindi ang mga kwento, malungkot man o nakakatawa, nakakaiyak man o nakakagaan ng loob, anumang uri iyan, lahat iyan ay pinanabikang marinig mula sa isa't-isa.

we're sure we're all dying to hear what each has to tell, so, let's continue to help ensure that our reunion will be one that we will always remember with fondness throughout the rest of our lives. and the best way to help is for you to be there on reunion day.

kitakits, batchmates, sa reunion! long live batch '88!


 

September 2007

For the past 19 years, batch 1988 is not talking… in deafening silence… and all are waiting for an opportunity to meet up.  Now, through the help of this website our batch have a central place where we can interact and get to know each other, even if only virtually.

We have come a long way.  We are scattered all over the world.  We have batchmates in all continents.  One thing not change though, we are still like that 16 year old graduates, longing for non-stop news, wanting to keep up with old friends and meet new one, wanting to share old/new stories and along the way may we find ourselves helping each other  and others in need.

How can this happen?  Through the combination of latest technology and the ‘Power of Communication’… you will also find our long list of conversation in www.groups/yahoo.com.au/group/batch88 - JOIN US.

"WHERE IN THE WORLD IS CARMEN SAN DIEGO?"
By: Baby Dorelyn Jose (Valedictorian, Class 1988)

"Nasaan na si...?" As the countdown to the 1st batch reunion begins, the whereabouts of "the missing carabaos" of Batch 88 became a hot subject. Somehow, everytime a file was opened, it was also closed properly--meaning, people were tracked down successfully. No matter where they are; no matter how long they've been gone. 

You have to give it to Batch 88, the wherewithal is definitely there to find old friends and reconnect (and bring back that lovin' feeling? joke lang). Well, of course, Google helped a lot. Plus, coming from a diaspora nation, members of Batch 88 can now be found in every corner of the world. There is simply nowhere to hide (even for a certain Puto Bumbong).

It's hard to believe we haven't managed to have a reunion all this time. It's even harder to believe that it has been 20 long years since we left MC. So many things have happened. We have all gone through a lot. But there will always be those four precious years we spent together in MC. Nobody can ever take that away from us.

Once upon a time, we became a batch to remember. A batch with character but cool, by any reckoning.

Those memories of high school are bittersweet, but ours was an especially intense chapter that molded us into what we are today--professionals, public servants, parents...or, simply, people who are striving to make a difference in this world in their own ways.

We have a lot of catching up to do, people. Sabi nga sa "Alice in Wonderland": "The time has come," the Walrus said, "To talk of many things: Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--Of cabbages--and kings--And why the sea is boiling hot--And whether pigs have wings."

Ano daw? Never mind. To put it plainly: the time has finally come for Batch 88's overdue first (and hopefully not the last!) batch reunion.


Mula Sa Gitnang Silangan
Ni Alex Contreras

Mula sa super init (pag summer) at super lamig (pag winter) na panahon mula dito sa Gitnang Silangan ay aming langhap at dama ang napapalapit nating pagkikita-kita. Dama ang bawat kabog ng dibdib, ang hirap ng paghahanap sa ating mga ka-batchmates. Isang pagpupugay ang aming nais ipabatid sa lahat ng ka-batchmates natin na tumutulong upang maidaos ng matiwasay ang di malilimutang “Reunion”

Bukod sa paghahanda sa ating Grand Reunion ay dumami din ang mga mini-reunion na matatawag kung saan nagkikita-kita ang magkaka-section upang magbalik-tanaw sa nakaraan. Ang lahat ay bukang bibig ang nalalapit na reunion, sino kaya ang una kong makikita, yayapusin ko ba ang crush ko dati (di kaya ako masapak ng asawa nya??) o baka naman matameme ako. Dumami na din ang nagbibilin ng pasalubong sa aking pag uwi…puro chocolates! At syempre, yung bilin ni batchmate down under…pulang alak!! Hehehe.

Ang mga Pinoy nga naman kahit saan ay pupuntahan para lamang sa kinabukasan ng kanilang pamilya…………saan man sa mundo….at ang karamihan dun ay nagtapos sa MC kung saan tayo ay nabibilang (Batch ’88).

Sa ating lahat, hangad ko ang tagumpay ng ating…REUNION.

Hanggang sa muli….

Comments: Hi Alex

Thanks for the post. Noemi once mentioned to hopefully our batch would have a reunion for our 20th. Then I stop and think 20th... 20 years na nga ba iyon?

Thanks to Mr Malinis and to the whole team of making this website possible. We thought of creating a website solely to gather as much contacts as we can. Hence, when I learned about this site from my Mother (batch '62, they will be having their 45th reunion next year) I signed in straight away and send the site to Noemi and Mayla. This is an asnwer to our need. Noemi then sends this to all she knows and even to all listed in namedatabase.com

As far as I know Noemi Donato - Suh, Mayla Esguerra - Omaque and I are commited to come home for a reunion. Surely, there are more who will participate. If there is a definite plan, I volunteer to announce this via Filipino Community Herald and TFC here in Australia.

Someone must spearhead this reunion and a lot of us will participate.
