Mac in Manila in February

 

February 25, 2008

 

 

 

Mac de los Reyes was here last February. Members of his batch of 1963 had dinner with him on Feb. 25. The group included Tito Aliga, Noli Madlangbayan, Bong Lopez, Beng Valerio and Mon Ramirez. Two other batchmates -- DENR regional chief Victor Ancheta and Ely Hidalgo -- were not located. All the rest of the 20-member batch are abroad or in the provinces (in the case of Larry Laraya in Davao and Boy Lopez in Iloilo). Two -- Jimmy Yaneza and Vic Angudong -- had gone ahead.

 

 
 

The following day, Feb. 26, I attended the awarding ceremonies at the UP College of Education where Mac's family funds a professorial chair and gives out awards every year. It is called:


The MacArthur and Josefina delos Reyes Excellence in Teaching Awards.

 

The dean of the college Vivian Talisayon is the mother of a brod.
