Subject: Old APO Initiation Pictures from Claro


Frank,
Here are old pictures I found. You may already have copies of some of these. Are you planning an anniversary celebration on October 5, 2009 in Zamboanga? If I knew earlier that there would be an APO convention in Boracay in May 2009, I could have planned to attend. On May, I am already booked to go to Northern Europe during the first two weeks and in the last week, I will be in Toronto, Canada . Anyway, let me know of the October celebration. That would be a good excuse to visit PI. Check the attachments. Thanks. By the way, whatever happened to Bernadette Mijares? And Rosalie Basilio?

Subject: Re: good to hear from you.

Frank,

I got the feeling that you are retired. Good for you. Well, I'm disappointed that we lost track of some of the girls from the past. I still remember Elizabeth's feel-good smile. And that Gonzalez girl, I don't really know whether she made it through. Her mom was so upset when she saw the back of her legs after the initiation. Well, she couldn't hide it because all she wore were mini-skirts. Me and Barrios attended a zoology class one summer.

We had this classmate, I think her name was Virgie Navarro. She hang out with two other girls with last names Abella and Rodriguez. I never saw her again. She also loved wearing mini-skirts. Barrios possibly remembers her. Is Leonardo Barrios still around? Through the years, I spoke or met with Bob Yap (1995? in Zambo), Roger Mijares (1980's via phone in Virginia), Jojo Pantaleon (at a Zambo party in Cerritos, CA in 1998?), Bong Arpa (via phone in Virginia, 2002?), Mae Mesias(Ateneo 1st Las Vegas Convention, 1995?) and de Mesa (San Ramon, 1999?).

I went to San Ramon and I saw Titang, but she was too busy playing madhjong on a table just outside of the penal colony's building. Last year, February, in my high school's class reunion, I met Ernie Wee's mother-in-law and I learned from her that Ernie was paralyzed from a stroke. I also got the news that three of my classmates had died. Well, death and taxes, something you won't get away from.

You know one person I have not heard from at all is Ferdinand Florendo. We were classmates in a philosophy class during one summer. He was a visiting student from Silliman. He talked me into joining APO. In that same class was Jesus Lucas who later became a Jesuit priest. I think at one time he thought of joining APO. I have not kept up with the APO over there so I was out of the loop for quite sometime now. Perhaps, we can plan something in about two years to meet. The next All Ateneo Convention will be in 2010 to be held at the Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles.

You know, I have been to Philadelphia twice for a seminar, and I keep forgetting to look for the APO HQ. Anyway, stay in touch and let me know if anything comes up with any of the names I mentioned here. Keep up with your generous time in maintaining this web site. This may feel like a thankless job, but I'm sure a lot of the brods out there are very appreciative of your work. Take care.

Frank,

Great job! I just got into this site by accident at lunch time. Somebody told me about it and saw my picture. And I was smoking! Quite a shocking picture to remember me by. Are you somewhere in the States? Just to be nice to the other Chapters, you may want to keep this site private. On the other hand, if you kept it private, I would not have known that this site existed.
Would you know where Elizabeth Tan is now? And that last batch where we almost got in trouble, there was a girl surnamed Gonzalez, do you know what happened to her? For the last six years, I have been going to PI during January and February with some of my golf buddies. Maybe we can do some get together sometimes when times are peaceful over there in Zambo, say, in 2010, about first week of February? Keep up the great work, brother!

Brod Roger,

Dahan dahan lang brod kung magsalita ka... maybe brod frank maletsky has a good intention of putting the apo coat of arms there in our apo zambo website although i don't have any idea when this website was created. I think this was his own initiative... in a pro active way.. not to destroy the image of Alpha Phi Omega.. if this is wrong then I, Brod Mon Macrohon, Beta Nu Chapter, Ateneo de Zamboanga, in behalf of the APO ZAMBO, is begging for your forgiveness.

Alam ko brod na those things that we cherish too much are pang full pledge lang.. we all know that..brod frank maletsky is a charter member of beta nu and has been active with apo zambo since he came home from the US of A. I am sure he has no bad intentions of putting our COA there..

If Brod Jose Illenberger was tasked by APO Phils to send a warning email to Brod Frank Maletsky so be it.. but for an unsolicited opinion such as yours is not accepted. kaunti respeto lang brod roger.. brod frank is senior than you i am sure.. coz i am senior than you based on your signature block with your id #. but i am sending this email with respect to each brod and sis who is reading this email of mine. a humble servant of Alpha Phi Omega.

May we always be.

Brothers & Sisters;
Sharing w/ you some pics during the APO AWAKENING in the residence of brod Frank Maletsky, Beta Nu '70. It was a cookout some brought fish for broiling as you will see in one of the pics, the passing of the hat for the drinks. I do hope & wish this will be the start of the revival of the alumni association that has been dormant for quite somtime. After which we proceeded to the wake of sis Dolly Maghanoy's father. How delighted was sis Dolly to see the bunch of brothers & sisters. Please click the linck below to view the pics.

To those who came, thanks a lot, I hope I will be in the area on the next cookout, I'm just a text away. Kudos to those who organized the occation, and thanks to brod Frank for his sharin of his palce. To the residents, this will serve as an inspiration & challenge for you to perpetuate the good things your predecessor has established. Regards & God bless.
