Good day,
Jovita Maningding is a former office mate of mine at L. C. Diaz & Company, CPAs and my kumare, being the god mother of my eldest son. Is there anyone who knows her whereabouts? Thank you

Hi Excy,
It is fascinating to notice that with our collective effort to search for the whereabouts of our classmates, it is gradually paying off. For decades, our class 68 attendance during the High school events have been meagre. I cannot help but envy the class pictures of the other alumni in uniform shirts!. Oh well, now that our communication is getting better and better, I am excited looking forward to a grander reunion next year and the years to come. I wish our classmates will continue to participate in our e-group discussions. Lea has started sharing us her old mementoes. I hope that others will follow suit. We have so many accomplished and successful classmates and it would be a nice project if we can share our lives and experiences and make a class book. I think I could participate in writing it dahil nag-improve na rin ang writing ko. I remember Zeny Torio, Tessie Penuliar, Tessie de Leon Abe Cabierto, and Lea getting the highest marks in English under Mrs. Mejia's class. Lets work together and we surely will have something accomplished. You supply your artsy style.

Hi Delia Soriano,
Ops...Sorry, magagalit sa akin si Delia Pascua, we always chat pa naman. Wow, it's nice to hear from you after 45 years you still remember me. The posted photo was taken during our 3rd year in school. I promise to revise the caption and there are still a lot more changes. What a surprise, you were with the Nursing group... welcome everybody will be very happy. Actually, I was also trying to get in touch with our classmates in elementary to organize a get together. Send me your e-mail address to (exequiel_idia@yahoo.com) so we can discuss more further.
Take care and please get in touch.

Dear Exequiel,
I saw a high school picture posted ( class '67 ) but I think that should be class '68. The person in the picture was identified as Delia Soriano but that was not me. I believed that was Delia Pascua.I am honored that my name was mentioned but I graduated from Santo Tomas High School.I remember you, Exequiel because you were my classmate in Malabago Elementary School with Romulo Gotinga and Lourdes Bianan.Zenaida Torio was my boardmate in Baguio while we were studying in St. Louis University. Perla Castro, Donna Frianeza,Marlene Cereno and Delia Pascua were my classmates in nursing school.I know Elvira Tandoc also.
Regards,
Delia Soriano Castillo
