This is my way of saying THANK YOU to all of those who work tirelessly in bringing us all back into the fold.

  2. Hi Jimmy! Yes, that Adviser of the IHS Student Council at that time was your beloved father, "Sir Tabanao". I still remember him. As I've said to you before, I remember him as a gentle giant. He was soft spoken and was very patient with all of us every time we held council meetings. You and your brother Johnny come from "good stock".

  5. Yes, Fermin is a true blood IHS alumnus. He was always kind to our batch. His younger brother Agustin, our batch mate, was a fun person that I can remember.
