SGGS ALUMNI MEETING - CHRIST THE KING SEMINARY

The meeting last Friday, December 8, 2006 was attended by Manila based Gregorians and some from Bicol. It was held at the Christ the King Seminary in Quezon City and hosted by Fr. John Regalado, svd. Those present I could recall (still getting attendance sheet from Fr. John Regalado) are the following;

Fr. John Regalado, our host. Great food at may Japanese dishes pa.
Fr. Momoy, just came from Bicol and went directly to the meeting.
Johnson Gumba
Skipp Riva
Ben Fuentebella
Fr. Andy
Fr. Jerome
Ontong Fortuno - also just arrived from Bicol. Rode the chopper of Zaldy Co to get out of Virac and rode C130 cargo plane to Manila. He's here to coord relief efforts to Catanduanes.
Tonito Martinez

There were still others i couldn't recall the names. Maybe the beer was already working on my brain cells at that time. Anyway the important issues discussed are;

1. A joint account (Fr. John & Tonito Martinez) to be opened at GE Money Bank (where Tonito Martinez is working) for incoming donations.
2. Those abroad who want to donate could sent thru Western Union to be addressed to Fr. John Regalado.
3. Foundation of Fr.Momoy in USA (forgot exactly the name) could also be tapped for those who would require receipts thru Bank of America. relief goods could also be sent to this foundation.
4. Money donations to be primarily for the seminary renovations and for the operational expenses of sending relief goods to Bicol.
5. Proposed Xmas fund raising party at same venue to raise initial amount for the roof repairs of the seminary.

I wished I could have stayed longer to enjoy the beer and stories but I need to be early the next day for my very first triathlon race in San Juan, Batangas.
