February 2018 Celebration




Hello Batchmates!

After a long pause, Batch63 got together again in February. It is the joint birthday celebration of: 1) Boy Nazareno, 2) Joe Assad, 3) Joey Ingles; 4) Alex Ledesma, 5) Mon Arnaiz, 6) Ed Lim and 7) Arthur Antonino.  The affair was held at Italliani's in Greenbelt 2 Makati.  

The Batch63 guys who availed of the sumptuous breakfast - a treat from the celebrants -  were: Joey Angeles, Joey Estagle, Onie Mayo, Jackie Arellano, Joey Zamora (true balikbayan), Gary Salcedo, Gabby Valdes, Francis Horn, Polding Arnaiz, Manolo Relova, Quito Moras, Mon Zaragoza, Ernie Cuyegkeng, Eboy Cosme, Boy Carlos, and of course, the Vince Misa. Vince as we know is the tireless organizer of the Grand Kapihan.  

There were other guests in addition to the Batch63 guys. The guests were: Boy Cantada, Bill Gamboa, Carolyn Solis and Mary Josephine Jane Blanco. The macho guys were DLS alum themselves.  The cute ladies are the marketing assistants of Rasputin, ..er . . Joey Ingles. Seemingly still at it with his exotic liniment business, Joey generously handed out complimentary Deep-Sea Manganese oil samples to the Batch. This oil is supposed to give you youthful skin, so for those who wish to turn back the clock, see Joey!

As many know by now, there is an original play I'm producing.   It is entitled Mansyon, Isang Musikal which will have its playdate very soon.  During the breakfast, there was inspiring support for the play from the Kapihan group. (I sent out the promo materials of the play to the Batch a few days ago). In a show of DLSC camaraderie, the motley Batch63 Monday Kapihan group acquired tickets on the spot. For the record, Boy Nazareno came early and was first to acquire a couple of tickets. The  Monday Kapihan guys promised to come to the 7PM main show (with their better halves) as a group.

Especially for those who enjoy Broadway-type modern musicals, and those who appreciate history, tradition and family, I know you will enjoy this show. The playdate is on a Sunday and it should be easy driving to UP Diliman where parking is not a hassle. Below is a show poster for the details of the show.  

As usual, until we meet again and Animo!

Best to all,
Onie Mayo
