There you go a conglomerate of bods from Luzon.Visayas and Mindanao. We even have Brod Pax Lapis boasting a 100% Batch Attenndance( pero dalawa lang sila) ok na rin.
 

For the second time in our Kapihan Annals did we create a pedestrian traffic at the 5th Floor of Shangri- l Plaza in the vicinity of the Cravings Reastaurant and Coffee Beanneary as our 287th Kapihan was being held signifying the start of our August Celebration of our Franternity's 81st year anniverssary.
 

The pedestrain traffic was so heavy that it caused FSH Bernadette Juinio Esquivel to slow down as she was crossing the lobby and our Brods noticed her passing by,after that a "kodakan" ,sali si FSH Bernadette.
 

I am advised that, for the past several months some Brods spent some time and money to locate and visit Brod Ely Hidalgo and after finding him in a bad conditon that needed his eyes fixed and the Brods jointly pitch in had Brod Ely'e eyes corrected. Brod Ely
attended the Kapihan and with his new eyesight keeps telling Brods "matanda ka na', as if he was not also old.( he hehe)

Next month will be our 288th Kapihanor our 24th year having our Kapihan.

For the Brods who were not able to attend" wish you were here". Joe '49

P.S. for any typo errors in your names,if any I apologize.

Images of a Beta Epsilon Kapihan

On the main a kapihan appears to be the same as the last one,  but it is really different in many ways. In this kapihan, for instance, there appears to be many "conspiratorial" groups. But the reason for the grouplets is that a kapihan cannot be a plenary session.

Signing the Kapihan Logbook

Look at my mga  kabatch Eli and Noly. They are texting each other the names of the brods at the kapihan,  hoping to impress the brods with their power of total recall, including the middle name and of course the batch year. Mga kabatch, hindi allowed ang  cell phones sa exams!

I do it differently. I take a photo of a brod I do not know. Then I go to Ojie who most likely would know the name and batch year of the b rod. That is how I learned the name of Eric Yambao of batch 2002. ;-)
