The following brothers attended yesterday's fun and story-filled
fellowship gathering: Caloy Agulto, Coach Noel Rivera, Ed Baldoria, Buddy
Garbanzos, Ric Monje, Bobby Navarro, Elmer Reyes, Angel Buan, Jec Marquez, Ick
Angeles, Icko Angeles, Sandy Daza, Gerard Alo, Dante Fagar, Benny Gonzales, Jun
Advincula, Johnny Velasco and Henry Gutierrez.
Brother Sandy did the ordering for everybody and as has been his practice now,
he requested the exec chef of the resto to prepare a dish which was not in the
menu. He gave instructions on how to prepare it and voila— saraaaap! Brother Ick
regaled us too with his fabulous tales about known personalities from the world
of politics aside from introducing to us his handsome son, Icko, the latest
member of the frat, fresh from his initiation. Brother Ed shared some of his
experiences as a fratman in the campus while Brother Eric honored us with his
presence despite his busy schedule. A true blue Betan.
The young man in red shirt is Brother Ick Angeles' UPD'78 son, Icko. ( I hope I
have it right.) I never realized Ick was so handsome when he was young. Kita ang
ebidensya sa anak. Batch 2024 si Icko.
It would be nice if other brothers involved in our recruiting programs one way
or the other can join because the group has initiated discussions on how to
proceed with the program.

Brother Elmer and I thank all those who attended today's fellowship. We covered
a lot of grounds and the train has now left the station. We just launched our
first project in trying to enhance our recruitment program courtesy of Brothers
Eric Ines, Wowie Bautista, and Boy Luna.
There are other ideas that are to be formalized and so we likewise wish to thank
the brothers who contributed their ideas. Brothers Buddy Garbanzos, Jun Bernal,
Ric Monje, Gerard Alo, Ed Baldoria, Gabby Banaag (resident GP), Joel Paredes,
and Benny Gonzales. Maraming salamat po.
Lastly and most importantly, we thank Brother Sandy Daza for volunteering to be
our Solicitor General.
We also wish to thank Brother JJ Jayme for gracing the occasion inspite of his
tight schedule. Salamat, Brother.

Thank you for organizing Brod Henry. It was also good to see the Brods I have

ADDENDUM:
A different generation but the Betan ideals remain the same. Here's how the UPD 80's resident brods did it - from 7 to 70+ members.
A must read: "Diamonds in the Rough" (in Memoirs & Reminiscences), by Raffy Hidalgo'86.
