Nick Pongos visited Austin, Texas Nov. 8-10, 2010 and wasted no time in catching up with the good ole days at SPC. I'll let the video show you what went on during his much appreciated visit : A 3 parts version is also available here.
This is a 25-minute interview. The 3-part series will allow you to view one 7 or 8 minutes segment at a time then come back when you have another time to finish the whole video.
please allow some time for video to download before pressing the play button for those with slow internet connections.
Vincent Velazquez (View)dropped by my city for a few minutes. We agreed to meet on the major interstate highway
and found Wendy's where we did our instant interview. The sound may be less appealing along with the shaky cam
but I believe the 10-minute video is worth it.
Vincent left SPC shortly after completing elementary but remained close to his grade 1 to grade 6 classmates after
that. Many of our high school classmates may not know him but those who know him during our elementary years
would surely be happy even just seeing him how he looks, talks and acts today, some 30 years after leaving SPC.
Video Interview with Gina Pongos-Quinain(View)
Mawing visited Gina Pongos-Quinain and got a chance to interview her despite her objections. Regine, her hija handled the camera while Balt,
her hubby and former media personality in the Philippines, acted as executive producer. Justin, their 8-yr old son, cheered his mom all the way.
It was spontaneous interview, no rehearsal and despite limited equiptment, we made a simple yet memorable video for all to enjoy. Filmed on
location in Orlando, Florida, USA.

When I was a little girl, when there was nothing to do in my grandparents house in Boroc, Ormoc City , I will go through each Book of Knowledge’s literary feature to read the stories. There were only twenty volumes in a set, so I only had twenty stories to go over and over. Speaking of Boroc---I wish I had the chance to research where the word come from---it is somewhat a stinky name, but the spitefulness of the place’s name is the opposite of its grandeurs. The place was a paradise on Earth. There were only a few of our batch mates who had the opportunity to see the place. Gingging “Maila” Lasam Martin and Lilibeth Gotardo are some of the few. I could not recall anymore who else had the chance to see my “paradise”. The house alone was more than thousand square meters big and two-story at that. My house now is only the size of one bedroom in that palatial house. My family has, let me say, this habit of keeping houses sparkling clean. Everything is required to sparkle. Just imagine how many helps were needed. The house was of western motif as my grandparents were influenced so much by what we call---imported. We were even served food in a five star hotel fashion with so many pairs of spoons and forks at the plate side. The garden---oh the garden---paradise is not enough a word to describe. We had fruit trees all around. Flowers, African daisies, bougainvillias, orchids…(no roses because my Lolamommy found it hard to maintain them), the grass mowed perfectly, they were there as if angels of God arranged them here on earth. |

It’s been over two weeks since the reunion jointly hosted by the 1983 and 1958 classes of SPC and news about the affair had barely leaked out. What gives? I thought it was the boredom that overwhelmed the attendees and telling the world about the affair was not really the first order of the day. Jolly good, the opposite is simply true. |
