Seventymembers of the Silver Jubilarian Class ‘80 attended the 35th homecoming activities on December 14-16, 2005. The week began with a grand alumni welcome party at the UERM gymnasium where the Nursing and Physical Therapy alumni joined the medical graduates for an evening of camaraderie, food and entertainment rendered by the Nonoy Lopez Band. The next day, December 15, a convocation was held at the College Auditorium where the Jubilarians in their academic gowns and hoods received their commemorative medallions from President Romeo A. Divinagracia, assisted by Dean Georgina T. Paredes and the President of the Medical Alumni, Dr. Susan P. Lazaga. The assembly listened to the inspirational talk of Dr. Joven R. Cuanang.
Dr. Carmencita A. Agcaoili of the celebrating class delivered the Dr. Potenciano D. Baccay Memorial Lecture. An hour-long business meeting was moderated by
Dr. Manuel M. Ramos where the president’s and treasurer’s report were given, followed by the election of a new set of officers who were to be sworn in at the alumni fellowship gala. The Silver Jubilarians held their class party at the residence of Dr. Mario R. Ver where everybody had a grand time reminiscing from their school days up to graduation and beyond. At the gala on December 16th at Mandarin Oriental Manila, the Jubilarians were at their best, having pictures taken by groups or with their old buddies. It went from the solemn mood of the candle lighting ceremony to the all night dancing, reminiscing, picture taking, etc. It ended with the traditional Silver Jubilarian class family outing at Indang, Cavite.
