UPSCA Alumni Group Meeting

The Upsca group met - where else - at the Gil residence on Saturday, Feb 17. The food was good - low-fat, low-calorie. After the eating, there was a lot of singing, with Jessie Pangilinan at the piano. After the singing, there was the dancing, spear-headed by Rey & Ollie Sanidad who gave a tango exhibition, and "outsider" Falang gave lessons on the latest dance craze in the Philippines, Macarena (igso-on kono sa macaroni'.).

(Trivia; Tio Joe was born on February 29 and every leap year and for as long ago as we can remember, his family and friends in Tanjay gave him a very special celebration which, because of his many friends, relatives, clients and well-wishers, usually took 2 days-)
