Bato Rural Development High School Batch 78 Reunion

I thought I would make a public announcement through my blog about our forthcoming reunion on April 7 & 8, 2010. Who knows I might be able to reach out to some of you who might be reading my blog. Our last reunion was held a little over 10 years ago, and sadly, I was unable to make it. It was the year right after super typhoon, and I wasn’t too excited to see Catanduanes in brown, treeless landscape. Thus, I didn’t go.
I was waiting for the next reunion to unfold but I don’t foresee it happening in the near future. That is why I thought about organizing one with help from my batch mates who are based in the USA, and a few other ones from Catanduanes. Why not reunite now while we still look half decent and have the stamina to travel around? It should be fun getting reconnected with my batch mates and reminisce old times. Although my high school experiences weren’t actually as exciting as others’, so there is not a whole lot of fun things to recall except perhaps for some embarrassing moments while dancing with my prom partner, which I will not elaborate until reunion day.
I also had the liberty of inviting one of the best teachers we had in Bato who is based in the USA for the last 25 years, if I am not mistaken. She is actually my first cousin. Gladly, she accepted my invitation and is looking forward to meeting her former students and faculty. I plan on making her reunion’s guest of honor. I know a friend of mine is thrilled to find out that teacher T is coming. Who wouldn’t be?
If we cooperate and organize this event superbly, there is no doubt that we will expect a good turn-out. I hope my co-organizers don’t lose the enthusiasm in tracking down my batch mates as the reunion unfolds.
So, if you are from batch 78 of Bato RDHS, Catanduanes, and you stumble on this post, please leave me a note and contact information so we can get a hold of you. And if you know anyone from out batch, please help spread the news. Thank you!

Hello Ms Belle,
Just saw your blog on the net as i searched for infos on how to get to Catanduanes. My mother is from Bato also and its been 30 years na hindi pa siya nakakabalik sa kanyang hometown din na Bato.. Since wala na po syang family there, we’ll stay at a hotel in Virac na lang. I was wondering if you could help me, some tips to make our trip smooth. Me mail is vtgalon@gmanetwork.com, looking forward to hear from you.
Nice website po
God bless po & Thank you.

Hello June,
In that case, you kind of knew me since we were in the same school for at least 2 years. Do you know my brother, Basilio Taopo Jr, batch 80, I believe?
Do you have a sister who belong to batch 78? If so, have her get in touch with Mariz at cp #09275865753.
neptali taopo was one of my classmates.relatives mo ba sya?and i guess you know Ma.Rosario Dayao,batch 78,she’s my ate.
Neptali Taopo? I don’t know her, but chances are we are related. Taga sain siya? Iyo bistado ko si Rosario Dayao. Hope to see her on our reunion.
