Perfect 10 at 27: The Reunion

It was the spirit of unity and camaraderie, and total excitement that brought the SNNHS Batch 98 as they took pride in celebrating its most anticipated first reunion on December 27, 2008 in Fiesta Resort, Brgy. Ipil, Surigao City.

The theme “Perfect 10 at 27” speaks of the decade since the high school years of the batch and the present time where one has grown mature, accomplished and responsible.

The crowd of 1998 graduates who were present in the reunion was amazed with the short fireworks display, shared on the delicious foods courtesy of some of the generous alumnus, sang and dance, and posed under the never ending flashes of the cameras (huh?! feeling celebrities). Mixed emotions also prevailed on air as everyone reminisced and shared their perfect moments during their high school years. (Char!)

Ms. Shirley Alciso, Class 98 President, who is one of the people behind the gathering welcomed the participants.

Another highlight and primary objective of the reunion was the election of batch officers who will carry out the responsibility of promoting a legacy for the batch 98. That night, they were successfully chosen.

Some of our batchmates shared their insights about the reunion and here are some of them:

“My name is Bernadeth. Guess who? Hehehe. Actually, I’m Procoro Peligro, Jr., your batchmate. I enjoyed the pool of the resort. One of the owners is our batchmate, Ms. Mechell Ballesta. Then, I met Michael Sala. He is so nice! Joke… Hope you all guys will join the next reunion. Haha!”

“I love the videoke” –Rio Pomoy

“The reunion was indeed amazing. It was really great seeing and talking to our batchmates again. I love the foods. (Ha! Ha! Ha!) And I love the resort.” –Karen Myl Alinsunod

“I thanked all those who came. For if they chose to be somewhere else rather than attending the reunion, it wouldn’t be as fun as it was. It was an unforgettable night.” –Ireneo S. Piong, Jr.

“I really enjoyed picture taking (He! He!). I love the pool and the food.” –Verna Velasco

“I can’t believe it has already been 10 years since we graduated from high school. I never thought that our batch would have a reunion because first we didn’t have our class yearbook (what a shame! Hehe).

It was nice going to the reunion because we got to interact with our batchmates. We got to do what we haven’t done when we were still in high school. Hopefully, the next and the succeeding reunions will be as happy and as enjoying as the first. Kudos to the organizers and the officers!” –Engr. Bethsam Dulpina

This was, indeed, the worth remembering and inspiring event during the first reunion of SNNHS Batch 98. The officers posed high hopes that this will be followed by more attendance during the homecoming and yearly reunion.
