An August Body



At the August 15 Grand Kapihan, a new record for attendance was set by Batch63. The traditional joint birthday celebration drew the following guests: Joey Ingles, Gary Salcedo, Joey Estagle, Gabby Valdez, Mari Duarte, Polding Arnaiz, Vic Corpus, Ed Lim, Ned Bulatao, Francis Horn, Bambi Goco, Tony Estonina, Jackie Arellano, Ed Oleta, George Cunanan, Quito Moras, Steve Hontiveros, Boy Carlos, Eboy Cosme, Joey Angeles, Doug Marcaida, Boy Nazareno and Oni Mayo. 

The celebrants who were there to feed this hungry horde under Grand Kapihan tradition were: Paqui Campos, Benny Ang, Patrick Go, Lito Quiogue, Raffy Villareal and Vince Misa. 

The Cameron Forbes breakfast buffet display was quickly depleted where the waiters hurried to replenish the array of empty chafing dishes. It was a great morning for the batch who engaged in boisterous conversation even as they wished the August celebrants a Happy Birthday. In behalf of the group, thank you for the Blow out and the chance to get together again, birthday boys!

Part of the reason many came to the Kapihan was also to finalize their participation in the coming Batch63 SportsFest to be held at the Cantada Sports Center in Taguig this coming Sunday. As of Wednesday, more than 20 guys had committed to come to the SportsFest. Joey Estagle, organizer of the SportsFest, explained once again the different activities that the group can do at the Center. An important segment of the SportsFest would be the Plenary Session. For a few hours of that afternoon, the GJC (Golden Jubilee Committee) will take the opportunity to present the status of the Batch63 plans for the 2013 homecoming. 

After the Taal Heritage / Tagaytay excursion last time, the SportsFest will be the second major activity organized by the GJC leading to the Homecoming in March, 2013. See you all on Sunday!
