37th ng Batch '73 2010 Reunion Date Poll
Hello, Kabatch!
During the homecoming dinner hosted by Odette Dinopol, the Gensan-based Kabatch decided to hold our 37th reunion in 2010 on ANY of the following dates:
December 27 - Monday, Rizal Day (holiday)
December 28 - Tuesday
December 29 - Wednesday
Just like our 35th reunion, the 37th will feature a Holy Mass in the morning followed by a community outreach project and Dinner/Reunion program in the evening.
Please vote for your preferred date in the new poll at the right portion of our blog. Thanks!
Upon learning that Kabatch Gilbert has no budget to celebrate his birthday (since he's enrolled for the thesis writing phase of his MBA degree), our Kabatch "surprised" him with a potluck party at the residence of Kabatch Vickee and Julio Firmalino. The Kabatch brought, rice, lechon, pansit, and other ulam. Ebing Abueva-Olarte sent a choco-moist birthday cake.

Thanks to Orman Manansala for the pictures
Even if Kabatch Ebing Abueva-Olarte celebrated her birthday abroad on October 28, her kabatch her a birthday bash in her name here in Gensan. How's that for a global celebration, huh. :)

A year after the untimely death of Kabatch Julio Firmalino,
our Batch once again got together to honor his memory
on October 30 at their residence in Dadiangas Heights.

Each one of us probably has a Plaza story. The Plaza was our version of malling - where we can relax, eat banana cue, watch people, savor the afternoon sea breeze, snack on peanuts (fried and sinanlag), wait for Dagirls to come out of their school gate or get a glimpse of Daboys sitting on the carabao grass, share a laugh or two . . . Yes, what stories we could tell.
The 4.8 hectare plaza is now called Plaza Heneral Santos after undergoing a P34 million makeover. The Generals are rediscovering the Plaza once again as they make it a venue for pasyalan, walking and jogging, and of course, dating.

For many of our Kabatch, the last time they entered Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage (OLPGV) was our graduation day in March 1973. Since then, OLPGV was renovated and extended to accommodate the increasing number of the flock. Here are some pictures for you to revisit OLPGV.
