"Good morning. First of all, please accept my sincere appreciation and gratitude to all those who have supported our ADDHS Batch '66 achieve a very successful Banner Year for our Batch in 2011.  It was indeed an honor and my deep pride to be an instrument in successfully  "Unifying our Strengths."     As we move on towards our Golden Anniversary on 2016,  I wish to formally announce  that I have relinquished my position as President to our Vice President Tani Wenceslao effective Jan. 1, 2012.  I see myself in very tight family and work schedules beginng January 2012 so I need to go on indefinite leave until our Batch has decided to call a formal Election.   I am so proud and happy to have served you for almost (4) years and the support i enjoyed will always be my inspiration to continue what we have begun.  Thank you very much and HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL.  Best regards."

Greetings and prayers for you this Christmas 2011.

I write this Christmas letter from Mary the Queen Parish, Greenhills West, San Juan, where I have been staying since 02 June 2011. 

I was granted a "sabbatical" leave for SY 2011-12, an opportunity for rest and renewal after twenty-five years in schools in Mindanao.  I expect a new assignment with the yealy assignments for Jesuits to be announced  by Fr. Provincial on Easter Sunday 2012.

Members of ADDHS’66 celebrated their Sapphire Jubilee this year with three major activities held on October 27-28, 2011 in Davao City.

 

A buffet lunch (click here for related article) kicked off the anniversary celebrations on October 27, 2011. Close to fifty batch members coming from the United States, Manila, Capiz, Iligan City, and other parts of the Philippines showed up at Buffet Palace in Matina, Davao City. Some spouses also attended the affair. In addition, Fr. Antonio Samson, SJ, former ADDU President and also twice class moderator, and Fr. Renato Ocampo, ADDU Director for Alumni Affairs, were present.  The lunch venue, Buffet Palace, also served as a departure point for the one-and-a-half hour drive to the celebrations in Buda.

Antonio Tirol Carpio, Jinxman and ADDHS'66 batchmate, and also Supreme Court Justice, was the keynote speaker at the 50th anniversary celebration of the College of Law of the Ateneo de Davao University last October 29, 2011 in Davao City. In his speech, Tony Carpio spoke about "The Rule of Law as the Great Equalizer."
