HS’79 on stage!
It was a blast. Last Jan. 24, we first had lunch at Imperial
Dragon (a block away from SPCM) and had a mini-program, and Aileen, aka
"Tita T" and Bochie
were the emcees -- with this combination, what would you expect!

After lunch, we proceeded back to SPCM with our batch T-shirt on;
you'll see it soon in pictures. We had practice for our
"GREASE" dance number and with the other jubilarians with their
respective dance numbers.

On Jan. 25, we went to school in our school uniform -- we really
looked and felt like high school students. Lumabas ang kulitan at
parang mga kiti-kiti lalo na sa kodakan. The program itself was GREAT,
BEAUTIFUL, WONDERFUL, etc.

[spcm] Homecoming 2004
Dear
Classmates,
The homecoming
2004 is finally over. And it was great. The Alumnae of SPCM came
together to support the Jubilarians and the newly-formed St Paul Manila Alumnae Foundation.
The program was held at the quadrangle because the auditorium is still being
renovated. Imagine one big stage at the corner near the flagole with two
wide screens on both sides. Full production numbers and very game na game
jubilarians. The whole event was handled by Events.com who also handled, if I
am not mistaken, last year's homecoming. Norie Aquilizan-Duran HS
66 (sister of Carmencita Aquilizan of HS 74) handled the program for the
Foundation.

The theme was
“Cherish -
a Paulinian Moment” and the program went from one era to another - rock and
roll, motown, beatles and Grease era. The Golden also performed a
Flamenco number. Ms. Mercado, our english teacher also performed - ala
Elvis Presley complete with Teddy Bears. Tawang-tawa siya when I started
reciting "The Creation." She couldn't imagine how I could still
remember that Grade 3 poem. Also met Ms. Limson there. HS 74
had one fun dance. I remember they also performed very well during their
Silver Jubilee - they did Sister Act naman at that time. What really
amazed me was the participation of all their jubilarian years. Ang
ganda. Kudos to their choreographers - Girlie Garcia (HS 79) and Kang
Dizon (HS 74) plus other Paulinians who choreographed their batches. May
nag-aerobics dancing pa nga. And for the first time, the Paulinian Alumnae Glee Club
performed. Among the members - sina Noemi Manikan, Wynna Media, Lulu
Tesoro, Emilie Simon, Marites Guidote and Ofelia Gaite (President and
Treasurer of the Board, respectively). Tita Loring Romualdez
Ramos played the violin while Noemi Manikan sang "Somewhere over the
rainbow." At the end of the program, my throat was painful na from
all the screaming. We had a mutual admiration society going. Kasi
when Marites, Ofelia, and I danced "Bali Hai" with Chiqui and Girlie
and another HS 79 member, Aileen, Batch 74 were all screaming. So
when they danced naman, kami naman ang scream to death. It was
really fun.
SPCM
HS’79 group hug!
Two of my
sisters were jubilarians, Chiqui HS 79 was homecoming chair (like moi)
and Weng (HS 74) was a Pearl Jubilarian.Sister of Florian, Marisa Martinez
sis-in-law and Milagros Tobias' sisters were all jubilarians. Kaya they
also attended along with Dettie (with Tom in tow) and Janette SJ. Rose
Taberrah was also there but I was not able to see her cuz was too busy moving
around. Other batches were so well represented too. Saw Ayi Cruz (HS 77)
and Malene Baron (HS 78) and Ruby Abasolo (HS 80). Batch 76 was
represented by Janette and Mila Tobias. And daming dumating that we ran
out of name tags. The quadrangle was full to the brim. Registration
was handled thru computers (so they know kung dumating ng ang classmate mo o
hindi). Fireworks followed courtesy of SPCM.
BTW, our
Pauline mascot is now the official mascot of the Alumnae. Part of our
fund-raising was the sale of pillows that bore Pauline. It will be
featured in the next alumnews. Would also like to know if you have been
receiving your copies of the Alumnae newsletter.
About the 2004 SPC Centennial
Raffle naman, there were 10000 tickets printed and possibly 90% sold; there
were 20 consolation prizes plus 4 major prizes. The car went to the
cousin of Ruby Yap HS ‘74. Good news is that we were able to raise mga
P1.8 million. From the net proceeds we were able to give to 3
beneficiaries - Our
Lady of the Peace Hospital, the SPC Vigil House and
the SPCM museum. The
Foundation also received P150,000 as seed money for its operations. The
whole program was funded by this raffle. Over-all, with Chiqui as Raffle
Chair, this is one of the biggest fund-raising efforts by the whole SPCM
family. And all batches supported it.
OK. So now the
hard work. PEARL JUBILARIANS TAYO NEXT YEAR!!!!!
I guess you
all know what that means. I already talked to Ruby Dizon Abasolo of HS ‘80 and we are going
to schedule a meeting of jubilarians soon. Told her to allow us to wind
up this year's homecoming first before we move on to tackle the next.
While she told me that the program this year will be a tough act to follow, I
told her not to worry cuz we will all support her. Besides, that's
what I heard about our program too - tough act to follow. Fact of the
matter is, it was followed and even bettered. Now what is needed is to
sustain this momentum. And we will need all your support.
SPCM
HS’79 jubilarians at the quad!
Will keep you
informed from our end as to what is going on. REMINDER: HOMECOMING
DAY IS ALWAYS THE LAST SUNDAY OF JANUARY. PLEASE MAKE YOUR PLANS TO COME
HOME AND BE HOME AT THAT TIME. IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN, IT WILL FALL ON
JANUARY 30, 2005.
Would like your feedback - you want a TIPAR 2005? an Asian cruise?
A trip to Palawan
(Lia is based
there now.) Sabihin niyo lang. Gagawin talaga namin. Basta
madami ang mag-request ha? FYI, wala si Mae, Zamby, Lia and as of
now, Malu Santos dito sa Manila. So the Core group left are Pinky, Dettie, Dolly, Florian, Janette and Pita. Plan to
call our grand reunion sometime May or if someone is coming home, around
that time - will work on that target date.

Paulinian Alumnae Card Project
Launch date: 25 Jan 2004 -- SPCM General Alumnae Homecoming
Sunday!
Scoop from Sunny
Escareal-Velasco HS’75:

Aug 2003
Dear fellow
Paulinians,
Please
find below information on Paulinian Alumnae Association of
Manila’s Alumnae Card project. The PAAM Board is asking everyone to help disseminate the
info to all alumnae. We’re trying to jumpstart the Association by
gathering info about our alumnae and also by giving them privilege cards that
can be used for discounts and freebies. Eventually, we will be coming out
with a directory of Paulinian professionals -- doctors, lawyers, accountants,
engineers, etc. I have already approached the Tesoro twins – Dettie and
Dolly -- and Alice Dizon's sister, Susan HS’68 and Susie Crisotomo's sister,
Terai HS’79. Malu Santos and Malu Lontok are also helping me out by enlisting
their businesses as establishments that will give special discounts or services
to Paulinians.
Please
note, as head of PAAM’s Ways and Means Committee, I am asking all our
batchmates to support this fund-raising project. I know that this card
will be of use mainly to those of us who are Manila-based, but we are hoping
that even those abroad will support this if only to help the association with
its numerous projects and charitable work.
Thanks.

PAAM PRESIDENT’S
REQUEST
31 August 2003
TO: All Paulinian Batch Reps
FROM: The PAAM Board
SUBJECT: PAULINIAN ALUMNAE CARD
The Alumnae Board will launch the Paulinian Alumnae Card during our Homecoming
celebrations in January 2004. It will primarily be an identification card
that will ensure that you are registered with the alumnae office and entitled
to receive the alumnae newsletter and other alumnae information and
updates. With the arrangements made with the school administration, the
card will allow bearer entry to SPCM, use of its library facilities, use of the
service outlets at the HRM Training Center (hotel), etc.
We are also now contacting business establishments, primarily those owned by
Paulinians, and those in the immediate vicinity of the school, to provide
discounts and other special privileges to holders of the card.
We also hope to make arrangements with Paulinians in the medical and legal
profession as well as other professional, whom bearers of the card can readily
approach for their needs and/or requirements.
In preparation for this, we ask your help in disseminating to your classmates
the information regarding this:
Attached is a copy of the proposed alumnae card,
a copy of the solicitation letter to
business establishments and a sample
contract that you can show around. Also attached is the Paulinian Alumnae Card Information Sheet.
Thank you for your invaluable assistance.

We
invite your company to be one in the select group of establishments who will
offer discounts, services and other freebies to holders of the Paulinian
Card. This will be an annual commitment
starting January 2004 and can be renewed on an annual basis. Aside from the special offers that will come
from various establishments, this card will also grant other services to our
graduates from within the St. Paul system such as free use of library
facilities, discounts from service outlets of the HRM Training Center and entry
into SPCM, among others. We attach a

SPCM Alumnae Survey
‘04
SPCM (now SPUM – St Paul University Manila) is
requesting all alumnae to participate in the following survey, the results of
which will be used as inputs to planning for the future at our Alma Mater. Please email completed surveys to SPUM
Strategic Planning Committee member Wynna Medina at wymedina@yahoo.com not
later than 30 April 04. Thanks!

SPCM Elem ’64, HS ’68, AB’72
SPCM, together
with the SPC schools of Tuguegarao, Dumaguete, Iloilo, Surigao, and Quezon
City, are now part of the St.
Paul University System (SPUS). This recognition as a constituted university
is the first ever granted by the Commission of Higher Education. Obviously,
this act is trailblazing and the SPUS experience could have a marked influence
in Philippine educational reform and management.
As part of its
compelling drive to be a leader in Catholic education, SPCM, for several years
now, has been taking a hard look at itself, both in terms of its past and its
future. YOU are an integral part of what SPCM is now and we’d like you to help
us shape its future.
I’ve been
asked to help with SPCM’s strategic planning process and we’d like to get some
of your perceptions. As an alumna, your
opinions will be extremely helpful to SPCM’s examination process. We’re sending
this short questionnaire through the Alumnae Association and various Paulinian
websites. We hope to get responses from various years. PLEASE HELP by answering these open-ended
questions as specifically as possible and email your responses to me by April
30, 2004. My email address is wymedina@yahoo.com
[By the way,
the name Saint Paul College of Manila (SPCM) no longer exists. It is now
officially St. Paul University Manila
(St. Paul University System.) On a
practical basis, this means we are now graduates of St. Paul University Manila.
However, if I will refer to the school as SPUM, I’m sure you’ll get a bit
disoriented so I will continue to use SPCM in this short document.]
Thanks in
advance for your help and candor.
