Hi Gang,
Guess who is taking over the Philippine Consulate in New York ?
Who else,
but our very own Ling! I saw Ling today at the Consulate as I
am renewing
my passport and she showed me an official Philippine government memorandum
dated Jan 25th (Fresh from the Oven ika nga!!), as approved by President
ERAP, designating Ling as the next Consul General of the Philippine
Consulate in New York - soon to take over the reigns from the current
Consul
who is going back to the Philippines shortly.
She is excited, I am excited, and I guess the rest of us can be excited
for
her too! See you in New York!
Congrats Ling!!!

Congratulations, Ling. So are we all invited to your inauguration party
in
New York :-)?
My sister, Gel, told me she met you in Manila, and she wrote to me ,
"akala
ko ba, amoy lupa ang batch ninyo?" because she says you are as slim
as ever!
I think the secret fountain of youth of our batch is our frequent sessions
of "being kids again", whether in person, or vicariously though the
emails
and the web page!

dear ling, congratulations
and best
wishes!!!as they say, kung talagang para sa iyo,
the gods will intervene. regards, dennis & lulu.
Maligayang Bati!
Malaki ang problema ko. Paano kaya makaka-organize ng testimonial dinner ASAP?
Mas malaking problema: Paano kaya makapupunta sa NY soon?
Hindi ka ba babalik dito para mag-oath-taking kay Presidente?

Dear Ling,
Did you know that I was about to write you today about something related
to
this topic? . . . to see if she can now get the New York Consul General
position.
Surprize, surprize, you now have it pala.
Congratulations! And be ready for the horde of relatives from the Bontogon
and Bustos clan who are going to rush over to you everytime they have
a
problem with the consulate (hahaha). I will try to bring some spirits
so we
can drink something in your honor (since again "you do us proud") during
Eric's birthday on the 12th of February...

Hi Ling,
Si Albert ito from L.A. ....
Congratulations to the next New York Consul General! I been wanting
to get
in touch with the Prepians in New York and I guess this (e-mail thing)
should be the best way to do it.
I've been visiting New York for the past 15 years or so (almost every
year)
when my folks were still there with my sisters (one in Flushing Queens,
one
in Staten Island and two in New Jersey). And, I knew back then that
you've
been working for the Philippine Consulate ... the problem was that
I always
forget to pay you a visit (medyo mahiyain kasi ako).
Anyway, I've been reading about your recent trip to the Philippines
and
what an an experience it might have been for you.
I hope to see the P.I. Prepians when Hector Reyes and I get there by
Jan.
30th. I'll be vacationing for three weeks (Golf trip daw)
and might as well get in touch with Ana U, Pacita and others and, relive
what I have missed for the past 33 years.
Do give me a call when you're out here in Los Angeles, _________
(213) 974-0675 office and, I promise to do the same
when I happen to be in New York again.

By the way, I forwarded to you
the congratulatory
messages I got from our classmates
pero hindi mai-deliver. Nahihirapang
pumasok sa mailbox mo. Do you
have another address that is easier to access? I
am really very touched by all
the congratulations. Espie also sent me her
congratulations through a greeting
card in the internet. I replied to all of
the messages but I think that
of Felix did not go through. Pakisabi na lang
sa kanya at kay Lou na maraming
salamat. Ang haba pa mandin ng message ko
because I recounted the events
that led to my appointment. I should have sent
it to you instead.
. . .
Talagang parang mahal na mahal
niyo ako!!!!!! I apologize for the mushiness- ganyan yata ang tumatanda!

Ling, I am very happy for you. Sana may swearing in ka sa Malacanang
para
maka-attend kaming lahat. Pala ba!!! Can't wait to see you at
your desk on
Fifth Avenue. Pag nawala ang passport ko diyan, eh di solve agad
ang
problema. Again, congratulations and keep up the good work.
Take care and
regards to all. Love, Ruth

you
in New York one of these days.
Cheers,

Dear Ling,
A toast to you for another
feather in your cap! You really deserve
this honor. You have planted seeds of hardwork, perseverance and sacrifices
and now you are reaping its fruits.
You are our class' pride
and we are really happy for you! We hope to
visit you when we go to New York!

Dapat makapunta tayo sa New York!
