Newly-Found Buddy

Evelyn Alcaraz - Muallil, E1

Peace and every blessing!

I don't know but I feel ecstatic everytime I "discover and find" a
batchmate. Dolly sent me a text message yesterday telling me that she has
found Evelyn Alcaraz - Muallil, E1, ex girlfriend of Edmon Liao. I sent a
text message to the number given to me. It was a blooper! It turned out
to be Joy Banzon's number (E1 din ba siya?)! Anyway, Joy sent me the right
cell phone number of Evelyn who readily answered back and told me that she
just finished talking to Edmon on the phone. Hmm . . .

I tell you, batch gatherings, big and small, are occasions for real
temptations. Old flames are on the brink of being rekindled. Believe me!

She married Henry Muallil, a native of Tawi-Tawi and Zamboanga who was her
officemate at USAID, on May 25, 1994. Evelyn is an accounting graduate
from PLM and is now a full time housewife while her husband, a structural
engineer, heads a consultancy firm. Their abode in Kamias, Quezon City is
colorfully lit up by the presence of an only son, Henry James, who will
soon turn eight and studies at Torch of Light Learning Center.

Funny but Evelyn dreamed of becoming a nun when we were in high school.
She has remained a Catholic 'though . . . while her husband embraces Islam.

Subject: Greetings from a fellow Troop 85'r
To: henrique@info.com.ph

November 15,2001

Dear Father (Paring) Erick,

Greetings coming from a true blooded Troop 85'r. Thanks to Alumni.net plus another source who, by chance, had passed on to me an Email address where I got to know about the whereabouts of ex-Torresians, particularly about a sub-organization closest to my heart- Troop 85 that is. Thanks also to Kaeskwela.com, the THS batch 78 webpage co-spearheaded by four of the most talented Troop 85 boyscouts of batch 78- Eric Santos, Val Buzon, Felix Paradoand Rey Bisda. How can I forget these personalities, they are the outstanding scoutleaders of the batch that immediately followed us- our group composed of Egay Loteria, Noel Maninang, Jun Narvaez, Reggie Labi, Al Vitangcol, Ric Carpio and Nestor Fuertes. (Where are they now? I am thirsty for news about them, the whole Troop 85 and particularly Sir Rudy)

After more than 12 years of working in the Middle East and Singapore, I have decided to come back and settle down with my family in the place where I grew up. What a coincidence, my eldest son Jason happened to be a student of Manila Cathedral College and he was telling me a lot of good things particularly about a certain Fr. Erick, the parish priest and college president. I must have been really busy with my work that in November of last year, I didnt take notice of the news my son was telling me-there was a certain Sir Rudy who's coming to the school who will be given a special Birthday Party and tribute by this certain Fr. Eric.

It's only when I had chanced upon Kaeskwela.com that I found out that these two are special persons who have been part of my young life, Sir Rudy Gutierrez and Enrique Santos, a Troop 85 comrade.

I wish you well and Sir Rudy and I hope to see you soon, Will there be another Troop 85 homecoming this year? I remember that Sir Rudy's birthday is Nov. 17, it's this coming Saturday na pala. Please Email me if there is any plan this day for Sir Rudy, I'll cancel all my appointments just to be there.

Your long lost fellow Troop 85 Scouter and friend,

Arch. JIMMY S. ROQUE (Sir Jim of Troop 85)
