welcome to our site

WELCOME to The University of San Agustin Class 77 web site. On this site, you will find information regarding the activities, reunions, history and contact details of the graduates of the University of San Agustin High School Class 1977. This site is also an online meeting point of all graduates of that Class.

If you are a graduate or, in one way or another related to a graduate of this Class, then this site may be of interest to you. Especially, if you are a son or daughter of a Class 77 member and your parents are not too interested in matters about the “internet”, then you are encouraged to assist your parents (without being annoying, of course).

background

This web site was originally conceived as a site where our High School Class 77 is to publish the events, with all the photos, taken during the USA Centennial Homecoming Celebration held in July 2004.

It all started with some 40 plus members of the Class 77 having a reunion party on July 16, 2004 at the Barbeque Park Restaurant in Iloilo, coinciding with the Centennial Homecoming celebrations. On that day, it was decided (among other things) that the Class is to have a “presence” in on the Internet and to publish a Class Directory, - a registry of the current contact information of all our classmates. Also, decided on that day was the election of a Class Coordinator - we elected Annie Salas-Hermosisima to that position, and; to this day, she is religiously performing her responsibilities without mental reservation or purpose of evasion.

And so it came, that this author volunteered to be the webmaster whose job it is, to build and maintain this web site, and Annie to be the coordinator in Iloilo.

The next reunion of our Class will be on July 20 & 21, 2007, which will be the 30th Anniversary of our high school graduation.

           registration and partial payment is required to ensure attendance.for the finality
           of the bookings. Deadline of full payment is May 31,2007.
 
I would like to appeal again to you dear classmates (ioverseas), if you could make a pledge or send your contribution
to us to make this affair a successful and fruitful one. We cannot make it without your heartfelt support. Our class savings account
is maintained at the Phil. Bank of Communications Iloilo Branch Account # 293-20-001387-2 in the name of Ana Maria Hermosisima,
Nerissa (Tuble) Tan, Beverly Rosales and Jonathan Patrick Yee.
 
Frankly,  my postion as coordinator is really a headache. Yet I'm doing this for the class because I'm very thankful to the Lord for the
oppurtunity He has given me to be in touch with all of you after more than 27 years. And as we celebrate our 30th year  I'm even
more grateful because I believe we are lucky to reach this stage of our lives and carreers. 30 years is 30 years, imagine? Parang kailan lang.
 
As I reiterate, the class needs your support. Share whatever you can and we welcome it.
 
Thanks and God bless us all.
