A Chesapeake (VA) Visit & Other News
(Excerpted from Efren
Pascual's, a NESHS '58 alumnus, 9/09/03 email)
A couple of weekends ago, Chit & Fort, Vicki & I and
Mernilo went to Virginia, at the invitation of Rudy and Lina Mariano, for the
usual summer get-together, minus the crabbing. Annie Dionisio was not able to
join the group because of a severe neck pain and had to stay home.
The weekend was also the birthday of the son of Rudy/Lina
and the couple also invited some friends for dinner. After dinner, there was the
usual karaoke singing. Fort, Rudy and I tried to put up a possible song (trio
numbers) presentation for the November Philippine reunion. Inabot kami ng
4AM but finally we gave up, Our voices which are natural second voices (desintunado)
, just would not blend. More so, with Vicki trying to coach us, it was more
difficult. So finally, we agreed that the presentation to be made by the US
Northeast Group will be what Rudy Mariano does best… dancing.
The following day, the usual harvesting of the fruits and
vegetables from the Mariano backyard farm took place.
OTHER NEWS:
Tameng Camaya, who just visited the US recently (he visited
Rudy Mariano) according to reports from the Philippines, is in critical
condition due to liver ailment.
Victoria Malgapo (you may have seen this news in our e-mail
circulars) had a mild stroke while in the Philippine visiting her mother. She
was able to recover well from the attack.
Benito Sumang also had a stroke and his speech had been
affected. He has retired from work and will have a 4-month vacation in the
Philippines starting this month of September.

Luisinia L. Uytingco's Mom's Serious Condition
(Excerpted from Nydia M. Tinawin's 7/26/03 Email
to Efren Pascual. Luisinia Labios Uytingco, Nydia Mabalay Tinawin and Efren
Pascual are NESHS '58 alumni)
I've just heard from Luisinia Labios Uytingco
about her mother who is in a very serious condition. She is in the hospital
right now. Luisinia and family are leaving this afternoon for the Philippines.
Our prayers are very important. As per Luisinia nagdecide ang family nila na
alisin na ang life support because there is bleeding already. Sabi niya sa akin
ay baka di na nila abutin pa hanggang sa dumating sila sa Philippines. I
think her mother is already 88 or 89 yrs. old. Her telephone no. in case you
want to call her before leaving ....
Okey
Efren ikaw na bahala magparating sa kanila about this.

2003 Reunion Plan Meeting Held 4/1 In Q.C.
(Excerpted from E. de los Santos 4/1/03
Email to Efren Pascual)
... as typical of a multi-purpose event, it
took a long while before the class ’58 reunion plans were laid-out in detail but
in the end, after the various appetites were sated -- gastronomic, gossipy,
things untrue, and simply hallucinatory.
Among the Metro Manilans: Romy -- of course --
with Letty, Lorenz, Eli, Mat -- who came with her son, Remy, Oscar -- who came
with Myrna, Jessie, and Boy -- who came with Rita (pero mi amigo Efren es
ausente). The Nuevo Ecijano representatives: Into, Esterling, Amelita, Virgie,
Olga, Norma, and Manuelito -- who came with wife Tessie.
After the plan to hold two independent
consultative groupings was abandoned to do away with the possible numerous
amendments of plans afterward.
THE FOLLOWING REUNION PLANS were unanimously
agreed upon (subject to the result of cost verification to be made by Romy’s
aide);
- the reunion will definitely be from
November…
Oh, by the way, you should have seen and heard
Remy in her usual bubbly self, Romy, dapper in his blue t-shirt; (Sol didn’t
make it when her mother suddenly became ill), Jessie -- spirited and comic as
usual, Mat’s chatter was contagious (but was later overwhelmed by Myrna’s,
Esterling’s everlasting-charm, Into’s intriguing silence, Manuelito’s
soft-spoken voice, Lorenz’ noticeable wide-eyed and silent participation,
Oscar’s same participation as Lorenz but not as wide-eyed, Norma and Virgies’
eager contributions to the discussion, while I was in constant refill, what with
the table replete with various foods (except that ‘laing’ was conspicuously
missing!) and Romy’s authoritative ayes to the well intended suggestions (less
whews this time !!!).
Also missing was the line dancing we used to
have in such occasions despite the apparent willingness of the Gapan group,
especially Esterling, Norma and Olga, to artfully swing their hips and enthrall,
if not make the Metro-Manilans feel envious of their skill in dancing.
If I may add, it was like a mini reunion of
sort. I really never anticipated that many could make it from Gapan that I have
to relay the number ahead of time to Romy. also commendable was the Metro-Manilan’s
eagerness to meet each other, thanks to Sol’s convincing power. this early, I am
already convinced that similar euphoric enthusiasm will prevail in our November
reunion.
SO FAR, YON LANG pare! until next mail. bye!
All the best,
Eli

Family and friends suprised Conchita Palomo dela Pena with a dinner-dance
party on the occasion of Conchita’s 60th birthday. About 70 conspiring

the McAteers Restaurant in Somerset, New Jersey.
The surprise event was organized by Lorraine P. Williams, daughter of the
dela Penas. Conchita’s husband Fort, their children (and the latter’s
spouses), grandchildren, relatives and close friends joined in the
celebration. Alumni colleagues\friends present were Vicki and Efren Pascual,
