Two Weeks Notice

It was a short vacation but it was 100% activity filled with family and friends. For two weeks, two US-based alumni visited the Philippines with their respective spouses.

Ricardo “Chito” Ramos and Isidro “Sid” Mendoza, Jr., enjoyed their vacation by attending to family affairs, weddings, birthdays, Batch 70 gatherings/meetings, and island hopping.


Both couples also spent a few days at the famous Panglao Nature Island Resort in Panglao, Bohol. Au and Edith also had the time of their lives during the short vacation.


Even though their time in the Philippines was limited, all four of them still savored the Filipino hospitality.

As they went back to San Diego, Chito and Sid are now counting the days for the February 2010 Batch 70 reunion and said “we’ll have more time on our next trip to enjoy everything”.
