Here is the program for the memorable event... see you. God bless us ALL

We are excited to bring new inspired developments starting with this new set of officers for our batch. As long time friends and co-batchmates, let us enjoin and be present in this coming event

Finally, we have our new officers and board of directors na magtataguyod ng mga plano at adhikain ng ating batch. 

Once again, salamat sa lahat ng suporta lalo ng silent majority na nandiyan lang palagi nakaantabay at siyang nagbigay sa atin ng inspirasyon para magpatuloy na buuin ang liderato ng ating batch. Hindi kaila sa karamihan ang respetong ating natatamo sa ating dating mga guro at ka-alumni. Ito na rin ang pagkakataon upang magkaroon tayo ng lehitimong boses sa pangkalahatang Alumni ng Jose Abad Santos High School Binondo.

Mabuhay and may God be praised!

JASHS Batch'82 30th Anniversary

Just as a popular saying goes, "Those whom we love dearly becomes a part of us. They weave color into our lives and leave us with a tapestry of beautiful memories."

All roads lead to Manila Grand Opera Hotel amid the Feast of Black Nazarene for the JASHS Batch ’82 Pearl Anniversary Class Reunion set on January 8, 2012. The event gave us the opportunity to go through a time in our lives where we consider ourselves as care free high school pupils.

White anniversary t-shirts were given free to all batchmates who presented themselves and appreciatively registered with the secretariat. The t-shirt was sponsored by our generous batchmate Elmer Tan.

Before the start of the awaited program proper, a liturgical prayer was presided by our very own Fr. James Uy in which he stressed the time to remember our departed batchmates, to laugh at the shared moments, time to be grateful for the gift of life, family, and friends, time to reflect and a challenge to share the treasures. And finally it is an opportunity to gather together and reminisce the old sweet memories.

The Philippine National Anthem was led by Lucy Sulita, while the JASHS Hymn was led by Sammy Cariño and Ronel Villanueva.

Everyone, batchmates, and guests were thrilled and surprised with the impromptu opening number by the committees and emcees to the tune of “Blue Jeans” of the APO Hiking Society. Mind you, fears running in all veins before the start of the program, but the performance were so impressive and we finally started it with a bang.

The opening remarks and inspirational message was given by Romeo Asuit, the Batch ’82 “Lider ng Taon” and “Boy Scout of the Year.” He espouses sincere unity among batchmates and pure enjoyment of the celebration. His message reminded us to constantly persevere to step our foot forward and do not let nothingness stays in our heart.

Fun games that promote camaraderie among batchmates and encourage everyone to know each others on a personal level preceded the inspirational talk. The getting-to-know activities that were really the intention behind the games have brought us back to our child-like manner but with sensibility of a matured person. Each games was really a hilarious moments for those brave enough to join merriment and even to those who stayed on the sidelines shouting and cheering for their favorites.

Video slides presentation and clips of high school years prepared by Ms. Tess Marquez were also shown while we were having a sumptuous dinner. The gifts for the raffles were not expected to be so many that we almost consumed the entire event calling out the winning number. Our grand prize, an Emporio Armani watch courtesy again of our kind-hearted batchmate Elmer Tan was won by Ms. Tabuzo.

We would also like to thank our batchmates abroad, James Paranada, our batch salutatorian, our batch-mates from Saudi Arabia and the USA, who really took time to record their video messages. They traversed the distance just to be virtually with us in the celebration.

Congratulations once again Batch ’82! It was great to see every one having fun and excitedly trading stories from each others, remarking of how great their experiences were and to see old friends who have become better with age! (wheee.:).

Our congratulations go as well to the organizing committees headed by Sally Marcelo-Lilagan and Tess Marquez, for their overstretching efforts and sacrifices.

… to the logistic team led by Pol Juan, assisted by Sani Billones, for arranging the much applauded venue. Being the only group at the 8^th floor of the hotel has even made our celebration special. The comfort and exceptional services were two thumbs up. Most importantly, it was cost-effective. To our Program team... Milen, Josie, Ellen, Gabby, and Tico, while Angelo directing the sequence and logistics... to our Secretariat headed by Weng Manuel and Tico... also to our GenServ headed by Vina, assisted by Ryan, Eloisa and Marlene...

to our sponsors who wholeheartedly gave their financial support and assistance in every step of the way. Kudos to all of you!!
