Acknowledgements Our first round of thanks have to go to the fantastic group of girls, without which this whole affair would have fallen apart. Of course, we have to hand it to Cecile Castro Pecson, who was the overall head of the batch for this reunion. We would also want to thank those who have lent their time, effort, and resources to make everything a smashing success. To Dely Panlilio Fernandez, for graciously lending her house for all those meetings, to Lourdes Gotauco, for helping out with coordinating with our classmates residing in the States, to Millie Ejaype Williams, for lending her time and effort, as well as writing a very nice article. Super, super thanks to all of those who hosted all those wonderful lunches and dinners: Lily Yu Monteverde, Lita Atienza Castillo , Sonja Habana Rodriguez, Hedy Umali Zalamea, and Rosario Carmona Ghosh. Thank you, Ging Garcia, our “honorary classmate”, for that wonderful lechon. Thanks too for those who brought food for all those meetings. Then, we have to thank Baby Barredo, whose extraordinary vision and extreme patience made performers out of a bunch of “spoiled brats” (as she would describe us!). Well Baby, you did it again! Special thanks also has to go to Deanna Aquino, our choreographer from Repertory Philippines, who diligently taught us our moves over, and over, AND OVER, and over again. Special thanks, also, to the incomparable Oskar Peralta, who went out of his way to design and manufacture our wonderful costumes for the event. Video coverage, photo coverage, and the design and execution of this book of memories were given as “a labor of love” by RB Canapi and his fledging production house, psychoCOW productions. Speaking of which, thanks to Lita Unson for taking photos of ALL our activities through the years, and everybody else who shared those photos you see on this book of memories, and thanks to Mila Reyes for that cute article. Many, many thanks to Camen Filamor Canapi, who did EVERYTHING she could -- from contacting batchmates here and abroad, to helping out with the coordination, to looking for suppliers, to soliciting sponsorships here and in the US, to as far as to look over every single detail and hound everybody for this book -- to make this event a smashing success! And to all of you who helped out in their own way to make this part of our journey truly memorable... THANK YOU. You know who you are!
