Sympathy for Mother’s Loss

"Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower,
We will grieve not; rather find strength in what remains behind.”
~Williamn Wordsworth

We condole with our dear classmate and schoolmate, Soledad “Soly” De Castro-Paterson and Rosario “Chato” De Castro-Gregorio whose mother, Mrs. Mercedes De Castro, passed away today at 11:31am, Monday, 26 January 2009 in Olongapo City at 74 years old.

Mrs. De Castro’s body lies at the Lincoln Lodge No. 34 in Olongapo City. Interment will be on Thursday January 29, 2009 at 2pm . Soly will be arriving from San Francisco on Wednesday morning, 28 January 2009.

Let us also offer prayers for the family she left behind that they may find comfort and strength in Him who loves us.

For Soly and Chato: You're in the hearts of others who care about you and pray for you as God eases your sorrow and replaces it with sweet memories. May the memories of your mother held deep within your heart help to soothe your spirit at this time.

The Multi-Purpose Building - 100% Paid

Good news!

We already finished paying for our long term project for our Alma Mater.

The Multi-Purpose Building which had been constructed beginning of March 2005 and finished on the beginning of June 2005, just in time for the start of the School Year 2005-2006 has been fully paid.


Since its turnover to OCNHS, the Batch project has been used full circle by the school for various projects and purposes.

To all our classmates who, in one way or the other, have donated their shares and pledges to make this project possible and even materialized, our heartfelt thanks and Mabuhay for a job well done!

Kick Off for the 40th!

The kick off meeting for the 40th Class Reunion of OCNHS Batch ’70 was held last January 10, 2009 at Merceditas “Mercy” Coll-Gonzales’ residence at #23-2nd Street West Tapinac, Olongapo City.

Emergency Landing

Soledad “Soly” De Castro-Paterson arrived early today from San Jose, CA in Manila in a short notice due to her mother’s health condition.


Soly was fetched by Norma Yabut-Dar at the NAIA Centennial Terminal and had breakfast at Raladin “Lad” Mojica and Zoe Jeanevieve “Jean” Mackay-Mojica’s residence in Parañaque before heading to Olongapo.

Our prayers for the speedy recovery of Soly’s Mom.
