brother Cris. Let's not lose hope. Let us know if you need something.

Hey Ron---Ang bago kong idol! Ingat sa drive going back.
August----good idea on that foundation. Let's really think about it with
Dennis. Hope to see your entertainment center.

We missed you guys. I know you guys enjoyed your mini reunion but hope you

*********************************************************************

Raffy, good news nga makikita na namin ang pics niyo.
Hope you guys were here, we had a great time. we smoke
Cohiba cigar compiments ni Gerry.

Gerry, champion ang dala mong cigars. "Cohiba" from
cuba. Kahit hindi kami nagcicigar, we really enjoyed
it. We were all impressed sa pina-Fedex mong isang box
na live lobster. Natalo ang Red Lobster seafood
restaurant.

Romy, parang Fiesta ang handa mo. Sabi mo takot ka ke
misis. Eh machong-macho ang tindig mo pagkaharap si
misis. Ewan ko lang nung pag alis namin. Pare, enjoy
lahat sa hosting mo. Babalikan namin yung bahay mo
pagkatapos ng renovation/expansion.

Ronny boy, thanks sa b-day gift mo. Hahaha meron na
kong summer wear pang party sa LV. Champion na naman
ang dala mong wine. This time reds and whites. Hope
for a safe drive back home to LA.

Si August, ang "talaba dealer", "talaba king",
whatever superb ang dalang talaba. Kahit hindi
sumasagot sa email si August(exempted), di bale pang
"live call" naman siya. But if you(August) decide to
make a reply, don't click the delete. hehehe.

Dennis naparami yata ang nakain nating talaba. Anyway
sanay na tayo ngayon. Mabenta ang pancit palabok ni
Ella.

Rading, surprise show-up. Ginulat mo kami. Pinasaya mo
ang party. We know you're facing a tough time with
your very sick brother. Just be strong and we send
prayers to your brother.

Alex, sa wakas nagkita din tayo. Rey Cote, punta ka
dapat sa LV.

Billy

*********************************************************************

Billy Valentine,

What did Ron give you pare ko? Mukhang successful yung
mini-reunion, that's good. Si Rading arrived from LA
yesterday, we talked over the phone. talagang
Christopher needs our prayers.

Ron/Gerry- i'm impressed! Talagang iba na talaga ang
mga "taste" ng boys ngayon. From Rock lobsters with
matching wines from Napa.... to smoking cuban cigars!
Tsk, tsk, nagsusunog kayo ng dollars ha... mucho
dineros ang mga amigos ko! Well, you guys deserve only
the best, keep it up dudes.

August- walang let-up si Oyster King! Bravo...bravo...

Pareng Dennis- na-addict ka na sa Oysters ni August. I
don't blame u.... the natural effects of Oysters
usually kick in 24 hours later. Parang second
honeymoon ba kayo ni Commander the next day?

Rey Cote- i distinctively recall who u are. Rading
tells me you didn't change much that's why he
immediately recognized you.

Keep on Rockin Guys!

Raffy

To all the wonderful people of PCS batch '75 especially the ffg:

Gerry Tan,Thank you very much for the great tasting lobster.
Tumaas na naman ang cholasterol ko & thanks to you. Lily is always
checking my BP every 4 hrs. Hindi ko tuloy nasindihan ang 3 cigar na
naiwan mo dito. Napabili rin ako ng lighter/puncher at hindi alam
ni Lily. nyway, maraming salamat sa iyo & to Tina for being here.
Pasensiya na kamo at hindi ko kayo naipasyal ng husto all over
San Fran. Maybe next time bring the kids para mas masaya. Ngayon na
lang ako nakapag-email ulit dahil hindi ko pa tapos linisin ang naiwan
inyong mga basura. Pati ang grill ay nasa labas pa at ang patio shade
dahil I'm hoping you guys will come back soon! Pare, nakaka-miss talaga
ang mga kakulitan ninyo. Everytime I think about it ay natatawa na lang
ako & Lily kept asking me why... Gerry/Ron that's our little secret
minty flavor sana huwag na lumabas ito...hintayin ninyo akong malasing
ulit!!! Once again TYVM to you and Tina...hindi ko ito malilimutan buddy!!

Ron Relucio, I keep calling you pero it seems you're in Napa...Sir TYVM for
attending our get together. Talagang nag-enjoy ako esp on the part na halos
ma-jingle tayo sa katatawa tungkol kay.....sa atin atin na lang iyon. Every
time pumasok sa isip ko iyon ay natatawa ako, probably some people might
think I'm crazy, hindi bale sanay na naman ako eh! The red & white wine you
brought along are really good. Suwabeng-suwabe lalo na at isinasabay pa natin
ang Cohiba cigar at lobster ni Gerry at talaba ni August, wala na akong
mahihiling pa. Thank you nga rin pala kay Luz, Richard & kids for attending too.
Siguro ay magki-kita ulit tayo sa reunion kay August...sa March

Billy Osit, Pare ko, hindi ko niluto lahat iyon, ang iba ay left over pa nung
X'mas at ininit ko lang sa microwave. Hope we'll sched again the next reunion
kina August. Ikaw na ang bahala at magtawagan na lang ulit tayo kung ano ang
mga plano. Ikaw ang magaling dito eh!!! TYVM for being there too maski wala
si Annabelle. Di bale next time ay magki-kita kita ulit tayo. Hanggang ngayon
ay may flash back pa sa akin ang reunion natin. Sana ay palagi tayong may get
together para masaya.

August San Gabriel, Maraming salamat sa talaba mo pare ko. Ang sarap talaga
at medyo lumakas ulit ang pakiramdam ko. Ituloy natin iyong balak mong
foundation at magandang idea ito para sa PCS. Let us know kung kailan ka ulit
available at pag-usapan natin ito. We will call you and Billy will handle the
sched for the next reunion.

Dennis Filoteo, Ka Dencio, ang galing mo talagang photographer saludo kami sa iyo.
Thank you dun sa dala mong palabok at ibang kakanin ang sarap talaga. Pls extend
my warmest regards and thank you kay Ella & kids. Hanggang sa susunod na reunion
ha!!! TYVM bosing.

Rey Cote, Thank you pare ko for attending. Ang laki na ng anak mo. Sana ay
maka-attend ka ulit sa susunod na reunion natin. I will personally call you at
e-email ko sa iyo ang date & time OK!!!

Alex Ramirez, Maraming salamat sa iyo at sa dala mong malagkit. Hanggang ngayon
ay hindi ko pa ma-alis iyong ikinalat ng anak ko sa carpet pati sa sofa...puwede
ba sa susunod ay hindi masyadong malagkit ang dadalhin mo para madaling malinis???
Kidding aside, tinatanong ni Lily kung saan mo ito inorder at sinabi kong sigurado
ako na hindi mo iyon luto dahil masarap. Pls attend the next reunion kina August
sa March & I will let you know the exact date & time OK!

Rading Guanzon, What a surprise!!! We are not expecting that you'll attend...pero
nagpakita ka pa rin. Pare, pinasaya mo lalo ang get together natin. Sana ay palagi
kang maka-attend ng reunion para masaya. Thank you pare, & regards to your family.
We are hoping & praying na sana ay malampasan mo lahat ng mga pagsubok sa iyo.
Our prayers also to your sick bro. Chris na sana ay gumaling at lumakas ulit siya.

Romy

*********************************************************************

Hi Gerry, Romy, Ron, August, Rading, Alex, Rey & Billy,

Wow, what can I say - it was a wonderful reunion! We all had good clean fun
at the expense of those who were not present! Ayan, sa mga hindi nakarating -
kayo ang pinagusapan namin. Kahit na inulan tayo, tuloy pa rin ang kasiyahan.
That's the PCS Batch75 spirit.

Romy, thank you for being a wonderful host! Salamat din kay kumander Lily.
Your sense of humor is outstanding. Next time nga pala magagamit na rin
natin yun brand new grill mo - huwag mo munang isauli sa Home Depot huh?
Hey ang galing mo palang tumugtog sa electric piano - no hands!

Gerry & Tina, thank you for spending your precious weekend with us in the
Bay Area. Salamat nga pala sa lobster - susmaryosep! Isang kahon ng lobster!
Was it around 30+ lobsters? Gaya ni Romy - tumaas din yata ang cholesterol
level ko. Buti na lang may minty talaba at napa-excercise ako!

Ron & Luz, so nice to see you again! Thanks for the wine and also
for coming over - kahit na ba regular kayong visitor sa Bay Area,
I know how tough it is to drive from L.A.
Luz - thanks for your Arizona insight & info. It's been a great help!
Ron - thanks for bringing Richard along. Mayroon ka-batchmate tuloy si
Tina. We enjoyed his company at sayang he wasn't able to stay long.
Next time - be sure to bring him kina August.

August - it was great to see you once more. I'm really surprised you still
remembered all the details of your youthful escapades during high school.
Alam mo may planong sumulat ng libro ang mga girls natin about the
life & times of our batchmates. Your wild & exciting mis-advertures would
be one of the highlights of this book ( Do you think this would be a
worthwhile project for batch75?) Hey, thanks for the talaba. I can say
personally that it's a natural viagra! Hanggang ngayon I'm still feeling
h_ _ _ y (happy - ano kayo!) BTW, I'll check with DHL the best way to
transport talaba to Vegas. Nga pala to check our website - here is the
link http://www.oocities.org/pcsbatch75

Alex - our roving reporter! Thanks for attending this weekend reunion.
Salamat din sa malagkit at sayang hindi ako nakapagbaon. It really
tastes great - saan mo binili? I emailed the contact info you requested
earlier.

Rey - Glad you & Alex attended. Susunduin na namin sana kayo. I know
the weather didn't cooperate pero ayos lang naman kahit na malamig at
umuulan - tuloy pa rin ang kasiyahan. I don't think there was even a minute
of silence - tuloy-tuloy ang kuwentuhan - kulang talaga ang isang araw.
Next time, dalhin mo si Vangie at si Alex. ok? Hey , I didn't noticed how
you hold your cigarette. I used to hold it with 3 fingers ie. in-between my
forefinger & middle one and with my thumb keeping it balanced. Ron
paano ba siya humawak?

Rading - thanks for dropping by kahit na gipit ka sa oras. We know that
your priority was to reach Manila on time and you took a time out to
see us and we deeply appreciate that. Our prayers are for your brod Chris.
Thanks for sharing your peace keeping experience in Kosovo.

Billy - wala pa rin yun resume ko! Promise this week. Hey - thanks for avoiding
the tempting drinks dahil alam ko na ikaw ang designated driver. Sayang hindi
nakarating si mareng Annabelle - I hope natikman niya yun lobster!

To the Chicago ladies ( Vix, Boots, Jinggy, Jane, Amee) &
To the San Diego reunion (Miles, Noel, Tirso, Gene, Rueben )

Kwento naman kayo - I'm sure the Chicago ladies had a blast dahil we
had a conference call with them. I'll post our photos hopefully by Thursday.

Best regards,
Dennis
