Very good, Rolly .... very, very good. This project will spawn to many beautiful and larger things for our country. For our people, more than alone for us Meycauyan Institute - Meycauayan College graduates as well.

The torch has been lit. I congratulate you and Edgar for beginning - what let me call - a birth'ing of loftier and nobler meaning to "alumni-hood".

Comments: I am excited to join this project. The Internet is really one of the revolutionary inventions in this century. I am looking forward to being reconnected with those I have met during my MI years as a student (1955-59) and teacher (1963-65).

Hello po, sa family ko, there are several MC Alumni, my mom, named Ines Manahan-Santos, died last October 2003, who was in Batch 1947. My husband po, Rufino Mendoza Alcaraz, was in Batch 1981, na kahit minsan dared not have their Reunion as a Batch, malapit na po sila mag25 year next year. Me, Madeline Santos-Alcaraz, was in Batch 1983. Daughters Justine Santos Alcaraz, 2004 and Darleen Santos Alcaraz will be graduating this school year 2005-2006. We're very proud to be members of MC Alumni!!!

Comments: greeting to all. i believe in your objective...but then again, as i have told when i was still there in MC, "linisin nyo muna bakod nyo bgo kyo mglinis sa iba". before we try to bring back those glory days of MI or MC, you should first try to look deep at what is happening behind those fake smile of your mcian nowadays. almost all of those at the buttom of your position up to the smallest personnel that you have including all students and parents are victim of politics inside the school. politics that eat up the past, present and the future of your beloved school. wrongdoing that leads to misjudgement among personnel specially to the students and teachers. this is not about personal reason. I KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT THE FIRST THAT YOU HAVE HEARD SUCH PREDICAMENT (if you may call it) BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT THERE ARE SO MANY TIMES THAT THEY TURND THEIR BACK ON THE ISSUES. don't you think that this might be the right time to atleast make some actions before we dream such a happy reunion.... all the informations and help that you may need are just around the corner. all we have to do is not just to open and see what we only want to see... but to look and understand all that we also do not want to see... just email me and i will prove it all. darkminded69@yahoo.com

Mr. Wilson (Darkminded) of Batch 2006,

I couldn't help but feel the pain inside your heart...if there is pain there and not just hatred. Your letter, I'm sure, doesn't do you justice as a person. You are probably a smart, idealistic product of our "intelligentia" and having said so, it would be safe to assume that your maturity goes beyond your teenage years.

First of all, (and pardon the creators of this webgroup if I am to put my thoughts here which don't necessarily reflect theirs) I believe that the main goals of this website or group is to foster camaraderie between the graduated classes/batches and bring them back to a point in time where they could reflect on their achievements as part of the grander picture of belonging to a community that so humbly started from a small institution in Meycauayan, Bulacan. To reminisce about old times, both joyful or beset with trials is only secondary I think, to the prospect of actually seeing those friends and classmates of eras gone by...to hear from them and be a part of their lives again after so many years...and most importantly, these aging years. If I have misunderstood the whole concept of this Alumni group, then please excuse my feeble mind.

The social interaction we have now and will continue to have, may in the future, carry over not only as a means to gather together for picnics and dance socials but to discuss with some seriousness the idea(s) of leaving some sort of legacy to our younger brethren/alumni whether it be in the form of scholarships or physical makeovers for our dear alma mater, to name only a couple of examples.

Maybe, these times are not your glory times. Maybe yours will come at a later period. But why rob the other batches of their glory days? Did they not put in the same effort as you are putting in now in order to graduate and receive that much coveted diploma? Let them have their fun and let them enjoy the memories of their fun-filled days of eons past. Someday, we hope that you will celebrate your "days" in grand activity as well....because we all share that one thing in our lives, high school days in the hallways of MI/MC.

There will always be something "political" in any organization or community. Man is a political animal (incidentally, if you take up Political Science in college, this is the first thing they will tell you). We had ours...so do you. Is that something that should deplete us of "our" joy? Maybe...to a certain degree. But that is also not the issue here...nor is this the place to "vent" that issue. This is not a political organization per se, at least, not that I know of. My 20 years in the Navy taught me a few things, one of which is, that if you have a "gripe", run it up your chain of command so that it may be handled properly. We are not your chain of command. We are a social organization affiliated with MC through a common bond. Your chain of command is your teacher/advisor, counselor, vice principal, and principal...who will then bring your complaints up to the Board of Directors. After they deliberate on it, if you are not satisfied with the results, then you may source another medium to act in your behalf. (In my case, that would have been the Naval Legal Service Office).

Lastly, I would also like to point out that we are not in the least disinterested about your plight and/or "predicament", as you put it. I am merely stating that this is not the venue for such "outbursts". If you desire that we take a look at your "problem", then please go through the proper channels as I have mentioned before and if having done so, has proven to be ineffective, then please request the creator/coordinator of this e-group (alone/directly) if this issue can be discussed and accomodated by this social organization.

As always, we bid you good health and a speedy resolution to your endeavors.

Respectfully,

Orlando Blanco
Class of '76, The Golden Harvest

come out and be recognized. There is no shame being a graduate of 1958.
Better than being with 1929 (no offense intended to 1929).

As to sentiments DARKMINDED, let me just give my 2 cents opinion. I surmise from your "pananaw" that MC is not the MC it is supposed to be but I belong to the era of MI and martial law and it offered us a school that sent a number of my classmates to UP but only one entered for parents were in fear their children would turn into activists. That is something you should be grateful about "free opinion", "free expression" was unattainable during my time if not "madadampot ka". As to the reality and quality of education and its system, I am at a lost in that section for you do not offer quantitative and qualitative data. Offer us something palpable and tangible and perhaps this reunion might do
something more than just a party. How about that "darkminded" don't like to refer to you as darth vader. In short, give us tangible data that, perhaps as senior graduates we can do something. As we say in star wars, may the force be with you.
