Alumni from all decades grace Mibalik-Tambayan Day

September 14, 2007 - The Aguman tambayan at the Odd Wing of Palma Hall was jam-packed with members, applicants and visiting alumni for the Mibalik-Tambayan Day. The alumni who graced the whole-day affair were as follows:

Meliza Santos-Henares, Charter
Noel Sanchez, Charter
Dan Manalo, 1977B
Claire Navarro-Espina, 1978B
Meng Tinio-Arreza, 1976A
Vicky Keys, 27-One 1979B
Gerry Pangan, Siklab 1980A
Martin Cruz, Sapunggul 1993A
Natasha Tabucal, Tuglung 1998A
Mennen Dicuangco, Ambula 2000A
Alvin Bongcodin, Salagpi 2001A
Argel Casupanan, Salagpi 2001A

Despite the morning downpour, it was still a great day for bonding and reminiscing as the visiting alumni shared a wide variety of fun stories during their time -- from Aguman couples back then, daring activism endeavors, on how thin they were before, to old Final Rites misadventures. Gems of wisdom about life, love and camaraderie were also happily shared by the alumni to the eager members. The members dressed the part, donning their brown Pautakan 2006 and green Sining 2007 shirts, as they introduced themselves to the alumni members one by one and updated them on the organization's present undertakings. The applicants were also present to help out in entertaining the alumni members. They were able to bravely ask for their signatures for their sigsheet's Alumni Page. There was a seemingly unlimited supply of free food and drinks, care of the visiting alumni themselves.

During the short meeting with the current officers, Claire Navarro-Espina, together with Dan Manalo, Meng Tinio and Gerry Pangan, officially turned over the generous monetary assistance by the different Aguman alumni members from all over the world to be used for debt relief and future projects.

Despite the tiring preparations and arrangements, with success and meaningful experience of the day, the alumni and members alike hope that there will be another Mibalik-Tambayan Day soon.
