Gosh, those pictures are great! Don't we all look fabulous?
Violeta-thanks for sharing them. Glad you still have a copy. It sure is refreshing to reminisce those youthful days of ours. I really hope I can make it to the reunion pending my elder brother's condition. He is very sick right now at Mother Seton Hospital in Naga City. Pls. include him in your prayers.

Hi group,
Attached are pics taken during my visit to Daet last month. Taken at Kusina ni Angel in Bagasbas.
Despite time and age, we all still look great, don't we?

I have uploaded more "those were the days" pictures in the files folder.
It's a good thing, there wasn't avian/bird flu yet during our time. Otherwise, delikadong maging carrier iyong mga girls. Why? look at the bird's nest on top of their heads!
Toti
Those were cool pictures!
Again, thanks to Toti for diligently doing this for Class ' 67. Keep it up Toti.

Thanks also Fechie. I'm enjoying it! I've been writing a report since last night, and posting these pictures is a break for me. It's fun identifying who those grade school kids are.

Dear Toti,
Now that you started this egroup and filing pictures, it sure stirred my curiosity. I am always checking our websites for new files and messages. Good job Toti and thank you much!
Where in the heck did you find these pictures? I'm glad someone have them and it is so cute looking at these youngster who were once us! I for one look so emaciated and starved! Glad I did not stay that way. However, getting rid of the extra pounds now are quite a challenge. I better work hard on self improvement before the reunion just in case I make it. Who knows, maybe I'll meet Mr. Right just right there! He-he-he!

Thanks for those photos of the "Parokya ni Angel" playing at DPC, can't remember it anymore. what year was it? It's nice you still had a copy. Anyway, thanks and regards.

Dear Rory,
It was nice to hear from you. If I am not mistaken, that picture was taken in 1964-65. We were just starting our combo group "THE CHARMETTES", with Glen, Anabelle, Marybeth, Susan and me on the drums, remember? It was really a loooong time ago. I sure want to see you guys again. Do tell me more about yourself.
Take care and regards to all!
Hugs,
Men

I can't find myself in the grade I picture. I thought I spent my Grade I in DPS, definitely not grade 2. I recall that my parents
enrolled me in Kinder and Grade I in DPS until i received my first communion, after which i was transferred to daet elementary school.
Baka absent ako nung picture taking, o ibang section kaya? Baka iyong picture ni Men, section 2, kasi ako section 1! joke lang!
i immediately recognized men and chi-chi (may x kasi sila). But i did recognize rudy, fr. efren, eddie c, susan king, annabelle abano, fechie, glen tamayo, teresita azanes, dorset dwyer and
roberto manly.

Hi Toti,
Here are two pictures taken in 1966 and 1967 that I'd like to share with you all. One was taken during a party at Tony's place and the other one was taken during the JS prom. Keep the exchanges of communication flowing. I love it! Regards to all. I hope those who have not joined the exchanges will start pounding their keyboards soon.

Hi Toti,
Greetings from sunny Orlando!
I'm sending you pictures of my family. My wife's name is Elizabeth. She was from Cubao, QC. We have been married for 29 years now and we have two children. I hope with these pictures, those classmates whom I have not seen for 40 years will know that I'm very much around and still kicking. I will wait for my copy of the CD or the downloading of it on my computer. Thanks and regards. Take care always.

Dear Toti,
This picture was taken before the wedding of my eldest son (standing in the center) last December, 2006. You ask me to send you a picture showing the family. My contribution to mankind. . . There is a proverb that says" to preserve your name in posterity you either 1. Plant a Tree.. 2. Write a Book . 3. Or Bear a Son. I think the last option is still possible for you, unless I don't know something. he-he-he. Joke Only!
regards,
Rory
Apr 3
Rory,
For some reason, I can't upload your family picture to the files folder, so I'll just forward your email to the egroup. Everyone should see your beautiful family!
toti
April 3, 2007
yes rory, i saw them. So you were also keeping a baul.
i tried posting the pictures you sent about the same time you were doing it, but i suddenly saw that you have already posted them. I can't seem to find though, your very, very beautiful family picture. i'll post it, if you haven't yet. everyone should see it.
whoever directed the picture of the second year class officers must be mad at me. why else would he/she put me in the same row as rudy, danny, and joe sales? i was the odd man out in that row. of course I was the handsomest! (#@#@!!)
Toti
Apr 4
toti,
Sorry for the inconvenience, I found out from my son that the picture was taken from a professional hi-res camera by the professional photographer.
regards and again sorry,
rory

Dear Toti,
Have a good story when these pictures were taken. One of my co-workers asked me how I feel when I am surrounded by tall people and some of them seconded like: "Yeah, Myrna how does it feel? and I replied "Well, I feel like a dime among nickels", they looked at each other, turned their back and went to their work stations. How do I feel? They got their answer and ever since nobody dared to ask me about my height again.
Cheers,
Men
Apr 5
Men,
you forgot to attach the additional Miss Luzon photo. I got the rest including your photo with your officemates. You're right! That's the way I should have reacted when I was dwarfed by Rudy, Danny and Joe Sales in the class officers' picture in Second Year (from Rory's baul).

Men

Hello Toti and Men,
From the looks of everyone back then, it appears that we were all malnourished by today’s standards. Talaga naman, just consider Toti’s current assessment of Camarines Norte today and look back at the situation then, one would really wonder how we all managed to survive the test of times….well, a few never did reach this period. Grabe! Pero again from the looks of yesteryears, kahit na malnourished, happy and enthusiastic pa rin…beerless pa at that time, pwera lang siguro si Teddy Ong, Cesar Chavez and Oscar Cu…he, he, he.
Hugssssss
Ed Canela
Apr 5, 2007
Dear ed,
This only proves that our batch are survivors. Imagine that: from malnourished kids to healthy adults - mostly gaining 40 pounds! We may have matured a little but we are definitely smarter. Everyone looks happy and prosperous. Let's keep smiling Guys, for we are the lucky ones.
Men

Hi Ed,
This is Marybeth. Have not heard from you since our last long conversation on the phone.
Did you try calling me recently? My daughter answered a call that had bad reception,and the name sounded like Canela. I am having a ball just reading everybody’s exchanges on email. For one who's not computer savvy, I sure appreciate the technology more than ever.You look great in the pictures. Actually, everybody is looking good and ageing well. I have to say though that I was never malnourished looking even in those days. I have always been on the heavy side, or should I say "healthy" ? Ha! Ha!
How I wish I could go to our reunion. I am so homesick looking at all the pictures. If I knew about it earlier, I would have canceled our January trip home.
Mea Culpa (learned this from Monsignor Reganit) on the malnourished comment, Marybeth…he, he, he. You are one lucky young girl…he, he, he. Well…we can make another one after this big reunion…50 years is another milestone worth achieving….can we still see each other then? How about hearing each other? Understanding? Learning? And finally, acting together as if no one is watching! He, he, he…Hugssss ke Willy and the family.
Just me, Ed Canela…kalog pa rin
Apr 5
Toti,
As promised here are the pictures of our 30th Year Reunion and also my family picture. I requested my son to forward the attachment to my email.
I'm married to Ric Arcilla, Jr.. for 28 years. Next to me in the picture is Reiner (26 years old, he is HR Manager of Teletech), Ryan (24 years old, Team Leader in Sykes ) and my youngest son Richard (graduating Psychology student of La Salle University).

Toti,
Polish Dance - our DPS BACS Meet number in 1964. If I'm not mistaken, I think we won 2nd Prize for this. Participants from First Year Class were Ramona, Araceli Banzon and myself. Not sure of the Dance name either. Perhaps, it was Foolish Dance. He, he, he.

What year was the Miss Luzon activity? What was the occasion – DPS Foundation Day?
Toti
Toti,
The Miss Luzon happened in 1963. It was organized to build a new building, which we called the kinder-primary building before (now it is the LCCD building).If you remember, DPS was only one building.
Foundation Day is held every February 28 - birthday of Msgr.Antonino Reganit. We even had a song for him: "February 28, the birthday of the great. We raise our voices high - Mabuhay!, Mabuhay!, Hapy birthday Msgr.! Remember this song guys? I wish I can show you what I have regarding our beloved DPS. Sayang.

cheers,

dear men,
I have no recollection at all of that song for Msgr. Reganit. All I can remember about him was his verrrrrryyyyyyyy, looooonnnnnnnngggggggggggggggggg sermons on Sundays.
Toti
apr 6
Toti,
Tama ka na naman. But I know, we sing that song every year for 12 years and then he would make "paalamusa" did I get the term right? It's when he throws money from the balcony of the combento. Sometimes, may nabubukulan, kasi puro coins! Aray!
Men
Apr 6
Toti and Men,
He knows where to start...but tend to forget the ending in the middle of the sermons...But, one nice thing I learned from him is Latin...the Latin prayers which are still used in many parts of the world. Sometimes, I surprise my German friends when I am able to shower them with dashes of Latin words taken from the prayers (Remember, pater Noster...que es sin coeli...sanctifitivor nomen tuum...adveniat regnum...) of Monsignor Reganit...Lovely.
Ed Canela
Apr 6
Dear Ed and Toti,
Remember one time, he was in the middle of a mass, then he left and did not come back. Everybody was asking what happened. Maraming hinimatay kasi during that time if you want to receive communion, you can't eat anything 3 hours before the mass plus the sermon would take about an hour and a half - gutom nga ang aabutin mo. Ang bait natin noon, ano? Also remember that his mass would always be cantada, kaya ang tagal.

Toti,
Ay salamat. Will still try if I have some more. By the way, did you get copy of the old DPS facade? That would be perfect for your CD. Tried to send copies of invitations/programmes but when I scanned them - result was not good. Can't read it.
Men
Apr 6
Dear Men,
I have not received that picture of the old DPS facade. Is this the one which you said was a large file and Ed advised you to re-size it, instead of cropping it.
Hope, I can get it. That will be very good for the CD.
Toti
Apr 6
Toti,
This was me receiving awards from my Mom and sister-law and one from Mrs. Era. I told Ed, I don't wanna send this kasi mukhang nagyayabang ako. If you don't want to post this, let me know. Have more of these. Thank you.
Men
Apr 6
Dear men,
okay lang, send whatever old pictures you have. Kung di man masama sa CD, they'll become part of our own archives.
Aliw ako sa "Most Serviceable Students of the Year Award" for Ange Racoma and Mendy's sister, Karina. What does the award mean? Parang alila of the year - gamitan award! Baka magalit si Mendy, but I really find the title of the award weird.

By the way, do you have office work now, on a Good Friday?
Here it's a long vacation - five days, starting yesterday, Maundy Thursday until Monday, which is Bataan Day. We are celebrating the "Fall" of Bataan, not a victory, kaya laging bagsak!
Since yesterday, I've been working on the CD. After breakfast, I have to stop so I can do general cleaning of my small place. Nakakatamad!
Toti
Apr 6
Toti,
It's only Thursday now. Over here, wala silang pakialam sa Holy Week. Except yong mga catholic. some offices allow religious people to observe it.(puwede kang umabsent) But we do celebrate Easter Sunday. Bongga pa - kailangan naka pustura ka and mind you dapat flowery pa sa ladies of course. Sa men, coat and tie pa. Nakakamis ang Pilipinas pag ganitong occasion.

Toti,
Weird talaga. Dapat yong Most Serviceable Awards, ibigay doon sa mga working students, di ba?

Hi Toti,
I tried to restore our very old grade 1 photo using the magic of photoshop. I came up with these two versions. They are so small so ok lang siguro if you can include in our CD. I recognized someone called Emma Villanueva, anyone knows her whereabouts????? Bakit naman puro babae yata ang kilala ko, he, he, he. Huggggsssss.
Ed Canela
Apr 5
Dear Ed,
Emma wrote me when I was in Grade VI and visited her in Vinzons. That was the last time I saw her. Her family was from Vinzons. She was my best friend from Grades I to III. She left for Manila in Grade IV. Why are you asking about her? She was very pretty, Huh?
Bakit puro babae and naalala mo? Don't know. Tell us. Baka mabasa ito ni Misis, ikaw rin. He he
Men
Apr 5
Hi Men, Oo nga puro babae…am not sure why I still remember ‘em…Do you by any chance have a foto with her? I don’t think so but you cannot blame me for not asking…now that I know that you have a massive archive. I am sure Danny and Bert have likewise been wondering why I like Tiger’s wife more than Tiger himself….even if I am already handicapped without playing any round of golf…he, he, he …gulp for Toti….I also remembered Emma Villanueva??? Do you have fotos or her whereabouts? Wow? That archive will really bring me to your home there one day…that is a reason enough to visit the States. Lots of hugsss Men…am so sad you cannot make it to Daet….You’ll be missed.
Ed Canela
Dear Ed,
If you look at the Grade I honor students and Grade I folk dance, she was with me. Also check the Class pictures from Grades I to III. Sorry, don't have picture of her and myself. Hindi pa uso ang "kodakan" noon. He he.

Thanks.

Hi Toti,
Were you able to get the pics I sent? If not, just tell me. I'll send you again some copies. Thanks

Dear Irma,
Yes, I got two pictures, one in very sexy attire and another balot-na-balot naman. Looking young! Iba na ang walang problema.
Don't you, by chance, still keep the "before" picture? yong solo picture para sa High School Annual? If you have, please send ASAP.
Thanks.
Toti
Apr 6
Hi Toti,
Sure I have my "before" pictures. The problem is sending a copy. Unfortunately, I dont have scanner with me. I left it in Norway. In that group picture, the guy on my left is my bf... we were in Niagara. The solo picture was takaen when we were on our holiday in Orlando, Fla. Ubod ng init kasi doon, kaya I have to wear less..... hehehehe
Irma
Irma,
I didn't see a group picture! Both are your solo pictures. Is there a third picture?

Toti,
Huh!? I dont understand..... I thought I attached the group pix..... but its ok..... that may do. you got my pix?

Men,
Susan gave me a minor revision on her daughter's profile.
Before Rudy gets hold of this, please fill up some of the info you know about him - his wife's name, and some info about his children - the wife's name I think starts with "E" and he has two or three kids - a pilot, a flight stewardess, and if there's a third one, still a student. Pag dalawa lang, siguro iyong third sa iba yon (sabay ilag! joke lang Cap.)
I know Rudy told us during our lunch date with him and his wife. Mapapagalitan ako ni Mr. Bienvenido Maderazo, not listening to the lecture! O dinistract na naman attention ko ni pareng Alz.
Thanks

Hi Toti,
I'm not quite sure if you ever received my email regarding the family pictures. I was just wondering would it be too late if I send one out tomorrow night. My whole family will be together for Easter,so this would be the perfect chance for all of us to take a group picture. Please let me know. Otherwise I can just send some old pictures. Thanks

Dear Marybeth,
I have not received your family pictures. You can send your Easter family picture. I'll wait for it.

Dear Men,
Are the COCC Awards and the Leadership Award, Honor Star, and Honor Medal Awards also for 1967?
Ako yata ang may Alzheimer's na, I can't seem to recall these. Siguro ang laki ng pera ng SCA noon ano? Aside from a Treasurer, there was still a need for an Assistant Treasurer. May nahawakan kaya akong pera nuon and may na-audit naman kaya si Ed Canela?
Thanks again Men. I hope I'm not offending anyone ha? Enjoy lang talaga ako sa mga awards!

Hello all,
I have successfully made a composite of two photos (from Men) and merged into one via Photoshop. I am so proud was able to do it no time….you are welcome to look at it…Hugsssss
Ed Canela
Ed,
The wonder of Photoshop! Very nice, but maybe, it shouldn't be the title photo for the CD. The DPS 67 refers more to the 4th year class, not the grade I class. Besides, wala ako sa mga elementary pictures!! he he! but, I still think class 67 refers to the high school graduating class.
Toti

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh.... elementary pix ito....wala pa ako. Anyways, good work Ed.... galing mo talaga.
