Chuchi Estanislao

I didn't have to find Chuchi deliberately. We met somewhere in the late 90's. I learned that she studied in Italy for awhile and then worked in the Middle East.  When she decided to start  a family she moved to  Indonesia. Then decided to move back to the Philippines. 

Chi and I  managed to stay in touch with each other, in fact my daughter was  tutor to her sons for awhile. But  daughter realized Tita Chuchi's boys didn't really need it.
Although  we were not very, very close in high school, in recent years as adults,  we served as sounding boards to each other. Over the phone, or over fast food meals,  we endlessly spoke about personal issues, ways to make money for our respective families, potential business ventures, etc. Although there were episodes of misunderstanding, we were able to get through it and stayed as friends.

Rolando Mendoza

Rollie and Family I think, Rolando 'Rollie' Mendoza was introduced to me by Veron de Guzman. I had quite a chat with him recently. That is quite a name, I mentioned. To be a namesake to an "infamous" man. And he says, yes, he's been teased about that for awhile. Rollie and family resides in the United States. I could guess that life's been good to him as well there; practically like all the rest of our Filipino compatriots who chose to try their luck, worked hard and succeeded. By the way, I spoke to him about our Jan or Dec 2012 Batch Reunion and Rollie  is pretty hopeful that he and wife might just join us.
