 
CARLA CLAIRE ALBA y TORRES
Famous for her nifty one-liners, like (heard before the REVALIDA)
" I can’t believe we actually pay this school to torture us like this!"
this Physical Therapist is a frustrated tennis player, rock star, stand-up comic, and disc
jockey who dreams of becoming a doctor someday ( confusing?)… A very jovial and
affable character, Carla gets along with everyone but is a seatmate’s
"NIGHTMARE" once she gets you into trouble for laughing at her crazy
comments(ask Lito!)… a great conversationalist, she knows a lot of "irrelevant
and trivial" things but is very active in "relevant" extra-curricular
activities, like ticket sales, parties and other gimmick galore….surprised everyone
at the Graduation Ball and got voted as the "Dama de Noche" girl of the
evening…one of the few who can actually face our deluge of suicidal exams with a
smile…always sports a "pa-cool" effect during tests and unbelievably
manages to get exempted… Totally Hip – that’s Carla…No wonder
she’s Number One in our class( alphabetically that is!).

ALVIN AMADOR y ARAGO
W a banner year this has been for Alvin…he unbelievably
survived a month in Clark without having a nosebleed from speaking all those English
phrases (proof that miracles still do happen)…plus, he even received the greatest
gift one can hope to have on his birthday: the REVALIDA and a harvest of pimples to go
with it…no wonder he’s called "pizza face"…still finds it hard to
shake off his "Mama’s boy" image…MIA’s pet – minus dog chain
and collar, of course…can easily sweet talk you into believing that there’s
something wrong with your car so you can bring it to their motor shop ( clever, huh? )
…will forever be remembered as the "Tilt Table Master" – tilts without
the belts… a perfect gentleman…always willing to lend an ear and a
hand…humble..responsible,compassionate…driven with ambition…the qualities
of a perfect M.D.….Alvin’s set on becoming a doctor in the future… and
there’s no denying it, Alvin has success written all over him.

ERIC ARCEBIDO y GREGORIO
Eric…the perfect lunatic …was able to con the class into
believing that he had already fathered a daughter (and get away with it) …the only
guy who dared step out into the middle of the South Super Highway amidst speeding cars to
search for his missing toll ticket (again, he got away with it)…can dish out the
"bad jokes" and end up making the whole class laugh with him… has perfected
the "sleep-on-it" technique before major examinations… always seem to know
what to study an hour before a test…the best tour guide of Angeles there is –
with his ’67 Vauxhall, he can let you explore the "ins and outs" of
Pampanga’s best bars – while you choke on his buggy’s exhaust fumes…
always unassuming and accommodating … a true blue gentleman, Eric’s athletic,
witty and daring yet, gentle, intellectual and sweet…we take it that by now you know
that this guy’s definitely no push-over.

AMY FATIMA APOSTOL y RAGUIDOS
If you hear one of the most thunderous laughs (it’s more of a
guffaw) you’ve ever heard, you’ve probably heard Amy…that’s how this
towering figure in the class takes life – as bright and optimistic as one can
be…you’ll probably find her serious at times, but that’s only her sensitive
side…ask who wants to go out and party, and she’ll probably be one of those
who’s in affirmative…outgoing, social and gregarious, Amy still finds time to be
a student and a staff in Christ’s Youth in Action (CYA) ..a very emphatic character,
she is a shoulder to cry on and manages to show you the light in things…she has a
very strong faith in the goodness of life…an optimist…thinking
intellectual…well-directed in life, she knows where she’s going, and with all
that’s been said of her, she’ll have no trouble getting there.

kyphotically…has a rainbow of moods…channels her emotions in charcoal
portraits…never play a practical joke on her or meet your end…a patient ear, a
happy heart, and a straight forward attitude makes her stand out among her peers…too
bad Michaelangelo wasn’t born in this century to meet this covert artistic soul.

time!…then nobody dares approach her!

ARIES CALIN GO y SHIH
After two years of silence, this extremely timid
and skittish fellow who seems to be forever glued to his chair, has astonishingly come out
into the open – finally!…actually, we always knew that under that cool façade
was a raging inferno…though soft spoken most of the time, never lead this guy into a
rousing conversation – for once you get him talking, he doesn’t know when to
stop…a seemingly remarkable and attentive student, Aries doodles when bored and
doodles when not bored…his mind is as quick and as nimble as his fingers are on
paper…the only guy that Dra. Tan would pass even if he got a grade of 50…a
typical Leo – diplomatic, determined, harassing brute…that’s Aries –
picks up where the rest leaves off because while the others aspire to be rich, successful
or famous, he aspires to be the perfection of altruism.

JOSE MARIA SALVADOR y CAMARA y GAELA
The Leo with the big heart…the prized
romanticist…well-remembered for his 18 roses and singing telegrams…but with
these qualities he hasn’t yet found the maiden who could accommodate the width of his
heart…one of the last surviving "Young Guns" to date…gentle, yet, may
become a wild adventure-craving maniac after a tension-filled week…a choreographer
and a singer at his own right, he has made unforgettable spoofs of the "Hagibis"
in local performances…creative yet sometimes bizarre, this fellow can rev up and
explode to dimensions way out of one’s capacity to undermine…for a guy with a
great physical prowess, his mind may well surpass anything else…and with his
analytical way of approaching situations, you’ll be glad if he is there to synopsize
the predicament to you…cool dude, the big guy with the lion’s heart…any
more questions?

UST-PT set-up (poor girl!) but she still has got herself together…the truly
undisputed "I can talk-a-mile-a-minute" winner…her most memorable
performances include those "jittery" class recitations…the girl who always
seems to be caught in a frizzy for no apparent reason… Fearless Fatima-the only
intern who has the nerve to answer a clinical Supervisor back…has the distinction of
owning the most thorough and complete unabridged set of notes in our class – it even
contains the grunts, sighs, and respiratory cycles of the teacher…a hyper-excitable
maiden, she remains unobtrusive and demure inspite of herself…a beauty and brain
bombshell – Fatima is patient, relentless, and persevering…truly a
teacher’s treasure…her friends will tell you that you should never fall into the

FEDERICK CHENG y CO
An all-around athlete who excels in any sport,
Federick is always on the go- involved in diverse extra-curricular activities as Student
Council VP…he will be remembered in class as the frequent model for Human Anatomy
because of his hypermobile joints and well-defined muscles…spends his free time
reading Minoxidil ads, because he’ll be needing it soon…Federick is this
seemingly composed individual with a chemotactic factor when it comes to attracting women,
but is a real rowdy, boisterous fellow when you get to know him…Mellow Touch’s
frequent listener, he hates loud and fast music – perhaps a reflection of the
gentleman that he is… Mature (especially age-wise) and responsible, you can be sure
Federick will be an achiever to look out for.

terribly cliché that Mia is nice and sweet – it happens to be true…Order is her
favorite word with neatness and systematic not far behind…although she’s known
for being sensibly level-headed and pleasantly down-to-earth…MIA’s trademark is
her affection with that dreaded disease known as KABABAWAN….known to have fits of
hysterical laughter in the middle of class lectures, she manages to come up with a
straight face just before the teacher turns his glaze in her direction…a charmer
through and through…Mia might never had made it through the grass courts of
Wimbledon, but there’s no doubt she’ll truly triumph in the scarragy field of
Medicine…indeed it’s "Game, set, and match, Miss Dajoyag!"
