Thanks Mr. Sammy and Nina David for providing the transpo. Mr. Gil Acuna, Monette Santos and Karen Crisostomo for the warm company. I wish we had more ICMC friends with us. perhaps next year??? Posted by Hello


Another closeup shot of the ICMC folks. Many brought their kids and spouses. The closure ceremony was an appropriate and solemn occasion. Thanks Willie S! The incense also helped the mood. Posted by Hello


The rest of the ICMC contingent, but note the person in blue shirt, sitting far right of picture. Yes, its the ex-PRPC adminstrator himself, Mr. Tiu Laurel. Posted by Hello


The contingent from Baguio and Bacolod. IF you guys know their names, feel free to edit and/or post them. (of course Saling pusa ako!) Posted by Hello


Velvet, Babes G, Mon and John at the lunch in Morong. Although a PRPC event, I think the most attendees came from ICMC. Posted by Hello


The monkey house! Boy, do I remember lots of visits here? Specially when we started the PASS program. Many of our students were being kept here for minor infractions. e.g. picking up cameras, food and sometimes money from teachers dorms, when they came around visiting. Funny thing though, they were almost always the amerasian kids.... Posted by Hello


They preserved one set of bunk homes and moved it to the "museum". Again, it seems so out of place, specially being next to another familiar landmark. Posted by Hello


This is where they moved the last boat that was at the Freedom Plaza. BTPI constructed a small "museum" that was the old UNHCR Field office and part of the PRPC admin building. All the "artifacts" seem out of place here, I guess to those of us, who knew where and what they represented 20 yrs ago!! Posted by Hello


a smaller Khmer replica of the Angkor Wat. Also at Nbhd 4 temple site. I wish the new adminstrators decide to keep AND maintain these historical scupltures. They may not qualify to be on the Heritage Conservation Soceity list, but they were built by ordinary Khmer farmers and office workers escaping the barbaric Khmer Rouge. It is in their memory that these sites should remain standing!  Posted by Hello


Another statue of Buddha at the Khmer temple site. Hardly anything remains of the temple. But the area around it is still serene, peaceful and worth visiting. Thanks to all the prayers and meditation of the Buddhist monks. Posted by Hello


The Khmer stone monument at Nbhd 4. One of the few still remaining. But for how long? Posted by Hello


Another infamous landmark inside PRPC. The water tank! great for sunsets...Monette has a unique and very vivid memory of this tank. :-) Posted by Hello


The infamous Dorm-43! Its just the palm trees that remain standing. They made it into an office. All the rooms torn down.boo hoo Posted by Hello


Lunch at Morong beach with sina Fran and Monette. Posted by Hello
