Joe,

Thanks for including me in the attendance sheet. Missed you all. But I'm there in spirit. At nariyan din naman ang ka-batch kong si Joe Vic. Sayang, nasa London daw yong brod nating Pakistani. Sana nag-kape rin kami dito. Am leaving tonight for Dhaka but I'll be there for the next kapihan.

Regards,
Cesar '65

subject [be_matters] 257 th Kapihan

Brods,

I am glad and proud to advise that the 257th Kapihan attended by 38 brods held at the "Coffee Beanery" (just in front of "The Cravings" and still on the 5th floor of Shangrila Plaza) was literally SRO (standing room only) SRO because if we sat in a long table if would be very difficult to understand what was being talked about, as in all Kapihans, nearly everybody talks at the same time.

So ,Brods started to stand , in groups of two, three or four and more often than not, pictures were taken every now and then, which will be evidenced by photos to be published by Mon and/or Leony. Soon the hall way between "The Cravings" and "The Coffee Beanery" was clogged by the
Brods and pedestrians were having difficulty to pass.

The vibrant and joy full group were:

1. Rollo Mauricio ' 69
2. Vic Villagracia ' 69 ( all the way from the US)
3. Rolly Dy
4. Vic Reyes ' 61
5. Joe Vic Gonzales ' 65
6. Ogie Alzona
7. Lito Manahan ' 58 bro
8. Ted Cresencia ' 62 ( All the way from the US)
9. Roly Reventar ' 58
10.Glenn Dajac ' 72

The gathering was graced among others, just as important,by the presence BEAI Prexy Vic,Ahorro, Four(4) BEFAAA Brods and the Kapihan hosted the Betan Golden Jubilarians( Batch 58),the Ruby Jubiliarians( Batch 63) and Batch 69 who claims the 257th Kapihan merely concided with there 39th year celebration as Betans .

The 38 brods who attended the 257th Kapihan looks forward to match or exceed the attendance in the future Kapihan/s.

For those who were not able to attend,"wish you were here"
