THROUGH THE YEARS Former Guidance Counselor and fellow alumna Vicky Herrera ‘68 welcomed former and current Filipino Scholars into her beautiful and expansive Tagaytay home last June 16 for the annual Filipino Scholars Potluck. Alumni from the 60’s all the way to the recent graduates and current students, as well as former faculty, attended the event. Special shoutout to our beloved faculty who attended the event: Ms. Vicky Huang, Ms. Idoy Limcaoco, Ms. Lilia Tantoco, and Senora Pia Escalante! 1st row, L-R: Patti (Soto) King '69, Ike Estallila '69, Nell-Armin De Pano-Raralio '77, Susan (Isorena) Arcega '77, Bianca Fuentes '14, Gaea Morales '14, Bernice delos Reyes '16, Angel Ramos '73, Liah Gomez '16 2nd row, L-R: Jojo Sacro '83, Tiny Meneses '69, Jesus Salazar '85, Vicky SyCip Herrera '68, Gene Nisperos '86, Rose Sagun '05, Mel Macaraig '77, Mark Chan '00, Ethan Alcid '16, Vicente Jaime Constantino '09, Kimi Rodriguez '11, Jem De Los Santos '10, Jos Ortega '78, Ms. Vicky Huang It was a special Saturday afternoon as the pioneering Scholars got to meet their current counterparts for the first time. Since 1961 the Filipino Scholarship Program has witnessed over 150 students become academic topnotchers as well as leaders in student affairs, athletics, and community service. The Filipino Scholarship Program awards an ISM education to bright and promising Filipino children who otherwise would not have been able to attend the school. Many of the Filipino Scholars move on to the most prestigious universities (Harvard, Yale, University of Pennsylvania, among many others) on scholarship. Without a doubt, the Filipino Scholarship Program has remained one of the school's proudest and enduring legacies.

UPCOMING REUNIONS SALI NA! American School Portland Reunion September 10-14, 2012, Portland, OR Class of '62 50th Anniversary Reunion September 27-30, 2012, The Caribbean First South American AS/ISM Reunion February 2013, TBA Euroreunion VII June 14-16, 2013, Copenhagen & Malmo Any questions about these events? Wanna start your own class reunion? Drop us a line at alumni@ismanila.org. Let us help you! SCHOOL SPIRIT . To all animal lovers out there! I am making a plea for all ISM alumni to please help! CARA is now caring for 175 rescued pit bulls from the raided Korean Dog Fighting ring in Laguna. We are a small animal welfare organization, and this is a major endeavor for us to take on. We consume 4 to 5 large bags of dog food daily which we mix with rice. It is also costing us roughly 200,000 pesos a month to maintain the site. These dogs are abused, but they have a lot of love to give. They are sweet and friendly despite the hardships they have endured. Our plan is to rehabilitate them which will take about six months and adopt them out to good homes. This will be a slow process since we have to screen potential adopters heavily. It is imperative that the dogs remain healthy, and a proper diet is the key to preventing illnesses on site. If every ISM family donated just 1 large bag of dog food, we would have thousands of kilos to stock up for the next few months. Many thanks in advance, Tanya Guerrero ‘93
