We have another brod who died on the
same day (Jan 5) as Brod Ipe. He is Brod Juan ‘Johnny’ Quijano ‘52, based in
Modesto, California. God bless his soul!
Brod JQ was the source of my collection of vintage photos from the early ‘50s
era.
All have passed on. L-R: Felipe "Boy" Donesa’51, Joe Madamba’52, Grine Grino’50,
Johnny Quijano’52, Malding Eusebio’50 and Rudy Ylarde’50.

Thanks Brod Dutch for the pictures of our early UPLB Brods. Now we know how they
looked during their student days.
Mga pogi din tulad natin, heh heh. Cheers and God bless!

Taos pusong nakikiramay sa pag yao ng kapatid Johnny Q. Sumalangit nawa ang
kanyang kalikutan. Pareho kmi ng last name pero di ko alam kung nagkamali-anak
kmi. Baka hindi dahil guwapo sya at napakarunong je je je. Taos puso rin
nagdarasal sa ikabubuti s Sis Dulce

Trivia from Brod Ador Beltran’51 on Brod JQ’52:
“I believe he was born in the Philippines and brought to the States for high
school. Mom was American. Pop was a very well known lawyer in Philippine society
- Juan Quijano, Sr.!! He was the lawyer of many schools and companies. He was
incorruptible! JohnnyQ full name was Juan Quijano, Jr UPLB ‘55 Beta Sigma ‘52”.
More trivia from Ador on JQ:
“I remember when Johnny came. I was one of the first to know he was an American.
He was wearing his HS jacket which had Washington High emblazoned on it. He was
surprised that I knew the American idioms. I told him I grew up with American
Missionary kids - Bobbie and Snooki. They are probably gone now.
And then he was more surprised that I knew the street lingo. That was easily
explained as my blood brother was adopted by a black American company in ‘45
when we were liberated. That was one bloody street fighting that we witnessed. I
thought we were in the movies!”

Can’t believe Brod Philip “Ipe” Mercado is gone - another Anos boy. Sad thing is
I was just in LB last week but was busy visiting with family. While there, I
asked Brod Itoy Palis to contact brods in LB for a get together sometime early
February when I’m back in LB. I was really looking forward to meeting LB Brods,
Ipe being one of them. We can all agree that although we’re all Brods in the
frat, there are Brods that are like our blood brothers. Brod Ipe was like that
to me. To begin with, our dads were friends in Rural High School and he was the
younger brother of my inaanak, Brod Paulo. We were the ones that started the
frat’s Black Shikoku karate klan in LB together with the late Brods Negi Genito
and Freddy Fajardo. We were also the charter members of Symbiosis, a Biology
academic club, with Brods Itoy P. And Tony Barroso. He was truly more than a
fraternity brother to me. What pains me the most is I won’t be there to bid him
farewell. I will definitely miss him. Rest In Peace my brother.
Jim Gonzalvo
=========================
Good bye, Brod Ipe!!! A Brod to us all and a best "friend" to my Kuya Joey. So
sorry to hear his passing. Our hearfelt condolences to his beloved family,

since Maquiling School.

Prayers for brod Ipe & condolences to the Mercado family. He was one of our idol
