ANNOUNCEMENT!
Due to time constraints, our Batch Core Group has decided to postpone our homecoming this year to 2013, our 40th. Please bear with us. Thanks, kabatch! :)
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.

who recently passed the electrical engineering board exams.
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.
