Highlights of the agenda:

1. BATCH 98 OBJECTIVE: “Leave a legacy: a share of care to remember.”
Being a decade older since high school years, the objective of the batch is to leave a legacy to the alma mater by actively participating not only in its social functions and causes but also to serve the community by conducting worthy and worth remembering activities.
Coming up with a BATCH FUND is the number one agenda and priority activity of the officers. One identified activity to generate fund is to seek help from the fortunate and well-blessed batch-mates, working domestic and abroad. Solicitations will be sent to the following identified batchmates abroad:
Iris Llamera Jerlene Narra Susan Japzon
Jamaica Ragas Christine Ruiz Zunnals Pagalan
Marileth Yutico Allen Ecoben Charlo Molo
Luzvisminda Paular Anjanette Rivas Charlie Poras
Mary Ann Biol Edmund Ballesteros Leah Arcero
Rizabeth Matugas Beverly Ngo Ranessa Gillo
Joevert Monteros Rene Bagtaso Bethsam Dulpina

Solicitations will also be floated to the highly professional batchmates like the following:
Teachers: Karen Myl Alinsunod, Paulo Alfante, Venos Monato, Manuela Wong,
Eva Mae Gavino, Mary Ann Piosang
Engineers: Alex Diaz, Bethsam Dulpina
Bankers:
-Green Bank: Clynton del Rosario,
-RBP: Brian Cubillan, Hadji Digal, Jonard Palima,
-SRBC: Farah Passion, Edwell Pongcol,
-Police Officers: Jonas Alburo, Rigor Puyales

Initial fund used to open an account with the SRBC will be coming from the contributions of the officers for 200 each. During the meeting, P1,200 was collected.

To gather ample amount, it was also suggested to conduct revenue-generating activities like raffles and Solidarity Nights.

This fund will be used to finance future activities of batch 98 including but not limited to attendance in yearly alumni homecoming. President Jun Piong is optimistic to gather a good number of attendances during the conduct of these homecomings.

To establish transparency and update the batch with the Batch Fund’s finances, a monthly financial statement will be posted in the batch blog.
