The DLSU Homecoming event is traditionally held in the DLS Taft campus. For the 2012 Homecoming however, the event was held in the gymnasium of of DLS Greenhills. The reason for the shift in location is because the DLS Taft campus is undergoing redevelopment. A new campus master plan had been prepared for the Taft campus and today, the master plan that features a major new building (the Centennial Building) for the campus is under implementation and construction.
The Homecoming organizers outdid themselves in making the 2012 event successful. The raffle prizes were big time prizes (cameras, laptops, etc. and many cash prizes ranging from P500k to a million pesos!). The band of choice was the Blumfields, a young band specializing in Beatle tunes. The Blumfields also did their version of Chuck Berry tunes (a little strange to the old band players in the audience but OK na rin). Ultimately, this young band had the audience rocking and a-twistin’ on the dance floor after a while.
The various batches celebrating their milestone years came in force. The batches gave spirited formal presentations on stage to the amusement of the audience. Batch HS62 who is celebrating their golden moment came up with an extravaganza where the batch rendered old La Salle fighting songs backed-lit by a video that highlighted the best among their graduates. As we know, Batch62 is probably the DLS batch with some of the most successful professionals / businessmen who have made their mark both in the public and private sector.
Batch63 had always supported the DLS homecoming events and this year was no different even if the batch had no special role in the event shows. The Batch63 guys who came were: Bro. Ray Suplido, Baby Angeles, Joey Zamora, Lito Quiogue, Boy Carlos, Quito Moras, Tonichi Grey, Raffy Villarreal, Joey Estagle, Bambi Goco, Vince Misa and Oni Mayo. Boy Lumba, Vic Romero and Jack Arellano are technically Batch63 guys who were at the Homecoming but for complicated reasons, were seen in the company of the celebrating Batch62 instead of Batch63 (mga balimbing!). Their numbers were however not missed as the Batch63 HS gang annexed Batch67 college diehards in the next table (Ramon Mojica, Ben Umali, Sonny Jacinto, etc.). As we know, Batch67 college guys are effectively Batch63 guys as well.
If 2012 is Batch62’s year, then this means that next year, 2013, is Batch63’s milestone year! Watching the entertaining proceedings, many Batch63 were fired up. They are now bent on coming together soon to have an early start and see how next year they can top the various presentations they witnessed that night. Animo La Salle!
