Sharing with everyone, our newest find -- Joe Apostol. He sent me an email. (I took the liberty in deleting some information for privacy reasons. You know how it is about sharing information on the web).

Joe with Wife

To begin,  Joe says he is "so excited that I will be meeting with some of my former classmates and batchmates, and can't wait for the year 2012 to come, it brings back some fun memories. I was scanning some of the photos in RMCHS batch site, and to my amazement I could only recall 1 or 2 faces, not to mention their names, but it didn't matter, it brought smile to my face as I was scanning them".

Further, he intimates that he "might remember" batch and classmates, "more when I see them in person". Joe continues by saying, "I don't think many batchmates remember me either from the high school days for I kept a low profile then". 

Joe often  goes to "California for a vacation", and  says he "could have attended some of those mini re-unions". He goes on with, "well maybe next time. I remember Virgie Guevarra, although I doubt if she knows me, she is the pretty one with the short skirt as I recall, Eliseo Odulio actually was a classmate of mine, and batchmate Reuel Aguila, who is the smart one, he was actually an ex-classmate  from Elementary at Padre Gomez Elementary School back in the late 60's.  Eva Orlino and Ver  were classmates as well".

He writes on with, "It's great that all of them are doing fine in their life endeavors. As for me, this is a short story of my life.  After high school, I went to college at Far Eastern University. Took BS. Medical Technology as preparatory for Medicine, but after graduating Med. Tech., received my petition from the US, decided to go abroad instead of finishing Medicine as it was the better option for me at that time. I have been in xxxxx, Illinois since 1977, worked in the lab. at a xxxxxx hospital,  for a  year then moved to xxxxx Hospital for 2 yrs., then went back to xxx xxxxx in the capacity of Pulmonary Technologist and has been working there since.

Joe met his wife in Chicago,  "got married with no kids, loves to travel, party and play golf 2 or 3X a week".

His email closes with "Again keep me posted, and thanks".

There you go, another addition to our growing roster of batch and classmates.

Reuel Aguila

Back then, we all knew that Reuel will play a significant role in this contemporary times. Not only because he is intelligent and articulate but a friend to the masses as well. Mulat ika nga. It is not surprising therefore to find out that he not only has one Palanca Award but has been a consistent winner. In fact, Reuel is a Carlos Palanca Memorial Awards Hall of Famer. Sobrang husay! Ipinagmamalaki kong sabihin na classmate ko sya. Magaling sumulat kahit noon pa, at mahusay sa lahat yata ng subjects all through out our high school years. Dati pa namin sya IDOL at di na marahil mababago ang paghanga namin sa kanya. Ang galing-galing mo, kamag-aral :-) Thanks to the Palanca website for this snippet. Please visit their site here .

He also writes scripts for film, television, radio, documentaries and concerts. Some of his pub

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.
