Over a dinner at Lutong Macau, the Manila Core Group met and spiced up the plans for the upcoming Batch '78 reunion in August.  Here's the minutes of the meeting  and Perlie sent us lots of pictures, too.  More and more people are getting involved in the planning.  Plans are getting more concrete. Thanks for the lovely dinner, Paring Erick.  Welcome aboard Ramon & Peechy!  Congrats to Ronnel for his new role as the chairman of the group.  I'm sure we will witness his unconditional dedication and make things happen.  Thanks to everyone in the core group for their unending leadership.

   Did you notice the new KaEskwela banner?  That is a product of Rey Bisda.  He designed it at Val's place in Markham where we have family lunch and we sang Christmas Carols and some oldies the whole night long.

   Rey & Gretchen Bisda invited the Buzon's for a full course menu lunch at their home...the kids exchange their holiday gifts while the adults were busy making plans for the homecoming.
