Pictures of DBTI Makati Busko '86 Evolution 25th HS Reunion San Francisco

DBTI Makati Busko '86 boys from the Bay Area NoCal, SoCal, Las Vegas, USA, and Toronto, Canada gathered at Benjun Aguinaldo's lovely home in 753 Saddleback Circle, Livermore, CA 94551 to celebrate Busko '86 Evolution 25th HS Reunion.

I've been looking forward for the past few years to flying back home to the Philippines in January 2011 for the grand reunion. But since I got laid-off last March, I'm not so sure I can afford the trip. So just in case I really won't be able to make it, I wanted to be part of this reunion in San Francisco.

In attendance were:
Carlo Arguelles, Benji Aguinaldo, Jun Bonsol,Lambert Bing Mabutas, Mike Crisostomo ,Galahad Cruz, Jon Rabe, Jussy Rusit, Joel Azurin, Don Lauron, Roy Salcedo, Gil Quijano, Joseph Barcega, Emmanuel Consignado, Morris Gacula, Sean Saba, Gilbert Ocampo, Louie Loysaga, and Gary Obispo.

Seán's Walang Kamatayang Prayer:
Boss Carlo Pogi asked Seán Saba to start the gathering with a prayer.
Big mistake! Longest prayer ever by an ex-seminarian...LOL.
Forward to 4:17 for Amen and reaction.


Boss Carlo Pogi read letters from Alex Veneracion, Allan Kato, and Leo Vergeire:


Benjun reads an old letter from his best friend. ;-):


Joel Azurin & Carlo Arguelles give their reunion speeches, and Seán Saba attempts to read the valedictory address he was unable to deliver during the high school graduation ceremony. ;-):

Beauty & the Bitch

My friends Roy Salcedo & Joel needed a place to test for a Ms. California photo shoot. I offered our place. My Birdie got to show-off her modeling skills with Ms. NoHo, Jael. I, on the other hand, took some pics and gave my 2 centavos worth of modeling tips. Although, I had to keep some distance...you never know with these young beauty queens...they might feel intimidated if they realize they are in the presence of a retired male supermodel...j/k

Jael, the future Ms. U.S.A....Ms. Universe?
