To Sayans - Batch 75

I recently had time to see FB posts on the Philippine Science group.  Altthough my batch does post in that group sometimes, we tend to be quite insular  in our communications and post in our batch group instead where posts sometimes fly - back and forth -

Bragging rights.  Seems to have a lot of bragging about respective batches
From batchmates "without Kupas" or talented ones or honored ones

What can i say?  maybe that our batch has no need to brag?

we seem to be quite happy with who and what we are NOW, as we were then
Hmmm, that sounds like bragging, and i really do not mean to brag

I recently had a short email conversation with Gorbo Kintanar, a classmate now based in the US.  I think that as part of our personal growth and in pursuit of fulfilment of our dreams - as we conceive them to be, we - as classmates - went off on our own - to study, pursue our careers, fall in love, fall out of love, find other friends, find extraordinary persons who have lit our eyes, and won our respect - and then, on-and-off, come to meet to reaffirm our ties - as batchmates and friends.

As batchmates, we differ in the degree of our closeness to each other, we are sometimes closer to some than to others, but there are, definitely, strong ties.among all of us

I am very proud of our batch - not just in the achievements individually the batch members have reached and turned into reality, but those the batch have joined together to achieve.  I am particularly proud of our ties to each other

here are the names of the graduating class of 1975
