  • This is where the achievers started to learn... hehehe
  • This is where I graduated in 1959 as class salutatorian.Lyda Baun was the valedictorian.Our teacher was Mrs. Pascual.
  • I visited my alma mater(class of 1959)sometime in September, 2009 and had the luck of meeting Mang Oscar who started as school maintenance the same year.The original building has been refurbished to get rid of the wooden floors and replaced with concrete.Other than that, it still looks the same.Gone are the vast playgrounds and the fish pond at the corner of Arquerros and the estero de la Reina.The mango tree I planted in 1958 has been bearing fruits as per Mang Oscar.I cannot forget Mang Karyas+ and Mang Pastor+.My science teacher was Miss Sison(+).One of my buddies was Cesar Pabustan!Industrial arts was with Mr.Menor(?)! My buddies:Ernesto Lim,Oscar Yuan, Pat Santos,Roberto Valmadrid, Mauricio Abalos where are they now???I hope I could still meet them before I kick the bucket!!Perhaps Miss Marcos(the principal then) is also gone!!

Looking for: Ulysis Gotera, Christina Abuke, Maricel Acuzar, Bernardo Cabiling, Arnel Tan & many more...... salamat muli. :) (Thanks again!)
  • I graduated here in 1969. So happy to find out that it still exist. I hope that one of these days, we'll have a homecoming. A lot of successful people graduated from this school. I still remember the small bridge with a little pond inside the main center building where Mrs. Velasco, my teacher in Gr.4 asks us to plant petchay, camote, and more. I also remember it's from the same pond where we collect "Butete" to play with. Hilarious but it is true. Mrs. Magat, also my teacher in Gr. 6. Mr. Bagavaldo, our P.E teacher who is hot for beautiful students (pedophile?). Mr. Pineda, my Pilipino teacher. Daily fights along Arqueros St. where a chicharon vendor chopped a hand of one of the tough guys. Can't forget that too. This place is soooo memorable to me and it is in my itinerary when I go home from the States for a vacation.
  • i also graduated in 1969. Hope to get in touch with my batchmates.
