1.       Opening Speech. Mr. Gershom Elican expressed his gratitude for the overwhelming support of the batch for this year’s annual reunion. He acknowledged the active participation and cooperation of the batch in the series of fundraising projects and monthly meetings as well as the pledges and donations from generous batchmates here and abroad and the committee heads of the annual reunion. The effort of each one made our activity a success. Also, he reiterated the need for continued support and cooperation of each one in whatever projects and activities the batch undertakes, especially by attending the monthly meeting which is held every last Sunday of the month around 3:00 PM at the Bantayan Park. He further underscored the importance of this meeting in terms of planning for the batch activities, particularly for the upcoming hosting of the batch in 2017.

2.      Raffle Tickets. Gershom updated that there were still unpaid raffle tickets, He reminded the concerned individuals to pay their dues the soonest possible.

3.            T-Shirts. Gershom made mention that there were still unclaimed old t-shirts in his custody, and he planned to distribute/release them soon. He opened up that there will be no more free t-shirts to be distributed next year during the batch reunion. Instead, t-shirts will be sold to generate more funds. He encouraged everyone to take good care of their new t-shirts because that may serve for the next two or three years, if in case we will never print our new free t-shirts.

4.        Election of the New Set of Interim Officers. At around 2:30 PM, Gershom opened the  election of the new Chairman, Vice Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer. At the onset, Gershom requested the assembly to elect a new chairman, noting that as agreed in the last year’s reunion, a new chairman will be elected from the other section. However, those nominated for chairmanship (Marlon, Yvette, Christopher, Stephen, and Remar) refused to accept their nominations for personal reasons. After series of speeches and pleadings from the assembly, Gershom was unanimously elected and the rest of the officers.

The new set of interim officers for 2014 included: Gershom Elican (Chairman), Abcde Makilan (Vice-Chairman), Dennis Madrigal (Secretary) and Amafre Genovis (Treasurer).
