"5-Batch Dinner", l-r: Bogs'65, Yongyong'68, Rolly'66, Nepo'69, Bangue'67.

dorbs,

the famous spring deer chinese resto at timog avenue offered it's unmistakably front-line array of exquisite menu to a group of courageous up betans who were willing to discard doctors' dietary restrictions to savor these delights for a significant eye-ball of 5 batches. present were:

bogs cabanatan -  batch '65
rolly reyes -  batch '66
manny balangue - batch '67
yongyong afable -  batch '68
willie nep -  batch '69

generously hosted by former secretary yongyong afable, this courageous team of food processors viciously tackled crispy lechon de leche with seaweeds and century eggs, spinach soup, swahe (boiled shrimps), roasted duck, chinese calamare, steamed lapu-lapu, veggie chop suey mix, black chicken soup washed down by two bottles of red wine (also brought by brod yong). anecdotes (a traditionally betan fixture) sparked the whole evening with bursts of laughter and boyhood exchanges.

brod yong is now a publisher - in two months, he will launch his new glossy fashion magazine "MONDAY", aptly titled to perk up or project a "start-of-the-week-right" concept among young professionals or yuppies.

tidbits: willie nep to hold a show in april 16 at the music museum greenhills "talentadong presidentiables, presidentiables got talent", bogs to retire in a year (he is now a member of the parole board), manny "bangue" is now the campaign manager of representative mat defensor. 

truly a fantastic three-hour engagement with our beloveds!

Bobby Pascual '68A (Blitzkrieg) celebrated his just-past-60 birthday at his Salinas home last March 27. It was well-attended as usual, as in all past gatherings inspite of the distance of Salinas from everybody's residence in the UP NorCal Chapter. The usual attractions are the welcoming nature of the Pascual couples and the sumptuous all-you-can-eat, plus all-you-can-bring-home!

Taken during the last weekend celebration of my 50^th birthday.  Among the UPLB brods who came were brods:  Eduardo “Jun” Cornejo (Indiana) and Brod Dr. Eugenio “Bong” Sabalvoro (Arkansas).  There were 13 other brods from other chapters who came from as far as Canada, San Francisco and Houston Texas. 

I had a blast.  It becomes priceless when you spend some days with Beta Sigmans and their families!

Dear Brod Manny,

Glad to be able to visit you at the hospital yesterday.  You sure looked a lot better than I expected.  Hopefully by now they discharged you already.  Missed our return flight home but luckily we were accommodated on the next plane. Home again at last.

Get well and hope to see again soon.

I took these pics from my cel phone kaya hindi masyadong clear, pasensya na lang Brods, taken during a dinner for Brod Rollie Zubiri, UPD'68A, who visited Hawaii last month.

Brod Rollie had a very hectic schedule with relatives but the U.P. Beta Sigmans of Hawaii (Bong Jamir UPD 72B, Orlino Ancheta UPBSF 64 and Yay Topacio UPD 77A) were fortunate to have him for a quiet dinner of mild banter and college days reminiscing in a Japanese restaurant hosted by Brod Bong Jamir.

As you may already know, Brod Rollie is now based in Melbourne, Australia where he and lovely wife Bridget raised their family. He was instrumental in the organization of the Beta Sigma Australia Chapter with the late Brod Anthony Subijano.

It may interest you to know that Brod Bong Jamir is presently a Logistics Specialist for the U.S. Defense Supply Center- Pacific Region. He spearheaded relief efforts of the U.S. Government in the recent calamities that hit Samoa and the Philippines.

Of course, our ever fanatic and amiable Brod Orlino Ancheta is the President and owner of Beta Sigma Builders Inc. His company specializes in construction of custom-designed residential homes in the island of Oahu.

Brod Rollie sent this e-mail message of thanks (below) just recently.

Yay Topacio, UPD'77, 12-06-09

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Brods Yay and Bong,

Bridget and I weren't able to personally say good-bye to you because of our whirlwind schedule. Brods, maraming salamat for taking time out to see me and my wife.

Yay, thanks for the discount coupons - you made my wife one happy shopper with the huge discounts she got.

Bong, thanks for the dinner and the Betan stories. I wish I had more time to see the base (I was interested in getting a tour but wifey was too engrossed in shopping).

Say hello to Brod Orlino. He seems to be one happy Betan chap. Hopefully, we get a chance to see each in the future. Good day!

Dear Brods,

I was invited by the government of South Korea thru the Korea Communication Commission to attend the 4-day Asean-Korea conference and Co-production television workshop last June 30.  I was asked to deliver a keynote speech in behalf of the 10 Asean Member-Countries (Brunei-Darussalam, Cambodia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines).  I presented the report of  our country re trends in broadcasting, status of digitalization and current telecomm infrastructure nationwide.  I was also given the honor to represent the National Telecommunication Commission.  This event also gave me much pride to owe everything to our beloved fraternity, the UP Beta Sigma Fraternity, which formed a sizeable part of my upbringing and resolve to do things in the most professional way.   This for you beloved brods!

Cheers!!!

Tabets forever,
