We are the GNC (Guagua National Colleges) HIGH SCHOOL BATCH '75 and FRIENDS. This site is for us to be able to update each other with what is going on with us and around us. This is also to enable us to get and stay connected with each other. This is also to reminisce on the good old days, of less cares and lofty ideals and dreams. This is to revisit the innocent realities we enjoyed. Our site can even help facilitate and organise reunions here in the Philippines or abroad. Announcements can now reach the four corners of the world in just one click. Our up-to-the-minute www.gnc75.org has a million and one reasons for existence.
Fate has been kind to us, but has scattered us around the world. Nevertheless, time and space are not limitations nowadays. So, wherever you may be and whenever you have the chance and time, let's enjoy each other's company i.e.,virtually speaking.
My name is
Selwyn M. Tungol. I am also a batch '75. I was very
delighted to find the website. It was very exciting to see and read about
friends and classmates from that era of wonder years.

I have been married for
22 years to Estrella "Lily", an RN for 26 yrs. We have a late blooming family
not by planning. We have 3 children: 20 yr-old Sabrina who is a junior in
college, 12 yr-old Liselle, 7th grade and 8 yr-old Brendan, 2nd grade. Yes, we
are still hockey boyscout dance-parents driving a minivan, mortgage
paying, college tuition, up to the neck in credit card debt. Such is life in
this U.S, enjoying it as long as your family is together.

Thank you, Joyce and
others for managing the site and making this form of getting in touch with
friends from GNC a reality, not only in the cyberworld but in our "real" world.
I am looking forward to
more news and messages from GNC 75.
Thank sooo very much to all of you who came yesterday and joined us at the baby shower Marina.
It was like another batch 75 reunion at the Inlong's. Thanks, Romy for providing a ride to Q & Joseph.
Thank you for the delicious food, the gifts and the patience due to long unbearable driving you have endured.
And those who were not able to come, please save it for next time. Jun and Marina loved the gifts
that were sent to them.
We had such a wonderful time with the games, too. A toast to all the winners, the emotionals and the losers.
Formal invitations will follow by mail after her birth, but we'd like you to save the date for our daughter's baptism (date and time are set).Saturday, October 9, 2010 at 11AMSt. John Eudes Church
