Class 69 Tiling Project


Last October 7, 2004 during our celebration of Casiguran Town Fiesta in Carson City, California I was approached by Mrs. Virginia Velez regarding the project of the alumni. The altar of the chapel needed to be tiled to be at least presentable.

After doing some calculations, I said yes but the project will be undertaken by our class (1969). The estimated cost was about Forty Thousand Pesos (P40,000.00) or about $800.00. I immediately work on the project by contacting the other three members of class 69 residing in the USA: Yolanda Sanchez Sicam and Loida Escote Carlson both pledged $200.00 each. I matched their pledges by giving $200.00 my self. And since I know I can count on my kompadre, Segundo Santiago, I advanced for him the remaining $200.00 to be able to start the project.

I went back home in March, 2005 to supervise the tiling project of the alumni chapel at the school campus in Casiguran Vocational High School.
