I have browsed trough the 25 photos you sent and the 7 photos Elsie Inarda uploaded, and I found the photo below to be the most complete group picture of SICAA - GTA for the above event. In order for us to know you better, I would like request you to kindly identify those in the photo based on "letters" (to avoid numerologic cliches). Also in the new SICAA-GTA youtube video to be made, annotations (a new feature of youtube) will be used to identify the Alumni shown it it. This way, the objective of allowing Alumni to know each other better will be enhanced.
I am making this request to you because I will not forget that after I opened the sicaa_communications@yahoogroups.com in the evening of January 2, 2008 after being elected as one of the SICAA Officers on December 30, 2008, my firt challenge was to look for email addresses including those from abroad, including the U.S. and Canada. The first site I browsed was the Haneh Website of Tanay Geograpic and it was there that I found your post dated January 13, 2008 which stated
"San Ildefonso College Alumni - 2008/01/13 19:25 Calling All SIC alumni living in the greater Toronto(Canada) Area,
In behalf of our Alma Mater, San Ildofonso College, im planning our first get together of all graduates of SIC, (whether you graduated from Elem., H.S. and College ) this summer, for all of you who are interested please let me know as early as possible so together we can all plan a memorable events...................
My email address: byg0316@hotmail.com b)
So I was able to invite you to join and you eventually did. I state this because somehow, we have a common beginning in getting involved with the SICAA.
The exact location of Bong's posts (8 of them) and the various replies to it may be found in this link

Historically, therefore, in my humble opinion, you are the Founder of SICAA - GTA. In all sincerity, I congratulate you in the fruitful results of your "posts in the wilderness" that met my own surfing of the same. The next site I discovered was http://tanaypost.tk/ allowing me to invite Betsog Jugo of the Association of Southern California, then Laarni Garcia Omingo..and so on and so forth.
I have stated this to Father Carlos Santos OFM HS 72 in reply to one of his posts that the Art experts regard the Viacruciz at out Church of San Ildefonso de Toledo as the most significant element of the highest order of Filpino original Art, yet no one can trace who was the Artist who did it. But all I know is that He is smiling from above, not because he is flattered, but maybe just amused why the question had to be asked.
Best wishes and congratulation to you all Ildefonsians in Canada from A to ZZ... ad infinitum. Special thanks too, to Ellen Mariano, and Elsie Inarda for your continuing share in strengthening this site aimed to link all Ildefonsians wherever they are....... For God Above All !
