Alumni Night

The Alumni Night was held on March 16, 2008 at Olongapo City Convention Center (dating Phil Am). The occasion start at 5pm but the parade of the alumni batches did not start until 10pm. Batch 80 was given a part of the program. Our part was for the batch to sing, and sang we did.

You have seen the practice on the previous post. The performance of the batch during the alumni night would be seen on this video . We tried our best classmates, even if the members of the batch got very few practice. Cliff provides the accompaniment but you would not see him. He is at the back of the singers. Jen's voice could be heard at the top (due to her more closer to the mic) but everyone did their best and share their talent (there were only 3 mics not enough to cover everyone). The boys although few did their best and sang their heart out (after 2 long necks of Fundador).

On this Video we were singing the last part of "Teach Your Children" and this was followed by "Masdan Mo Ang Kapaligiran" by Asin which was our 3rd and final song. The batch has changed some parts of the lyrics to fit the current situation. I think everyone remembers this song.

And the lyrics goes like this . . .

wala ka bang napapansin
sa iyong mga kapaligiran
marami nang anak namin
pati na ang mga apo namin

hindi na masama ang pag unlad
at malayo-layo na rin ang aming narating
ngunit masdan mo ang mga buhok namin
dati kulay itim ngayo'y may puti na rin

ang mga duming ating ikinalat sa hangin
sa langit huwag na nating paabutin
upang kung tayo'y pumanaw man
sariwang hangin sa langit natin matitikman

mayroon lang kaming hinihiling
sa aming pagtanda sana ay tag ulan
I-pod namin as aming dadalhin
upang sa Starbucks na lang tayo mag ja-jaming

ang mga batang ngayon lang isinilang
may J-S na silang natitikman
samantalang nung panahon ng Batch 80
ang J-S di man lang nasubukan

lahat ng bagay na narito sa lupa
biyayang galing sa diyos kahit nung ika'y wala pa
ingatan natin at huwag nang sirain pa
pagkat pag kanyang binawi, tayo's mawawala na
