UP Batch 85: In the Company of Leaders...

In 2010, I went to UP for an alumni homecoming meeting. I connected with people to become the core group representing UP Batch 85. On 14 April 2014, we met again at the Office of the Chief of Staff in Camp Aguinaldo.

From L-R: Armin Sarthou, Nelia Cruz-Sarcol, Gen. Emmanuel Bautista, Atty. Dot Balasbas-Gancayco, me

Armin Sarthou, a UP academician, served as VP-Administration for UP at one point.

A glimpse of boyish charm... :)

Nelia Cruz-Sarcol calls herself a teacher. I must say a teacher of leaders. She is CEO of CIE British School with a clear objective of instilling character to make a difference in society.  She is author of "The Pearl Principle" and walks the talk. "Personal success is only a means to an end: Making the world a better place."

Nelia Sarcol with Gen. Manny Bautista

"Manny Sundalo" is General Emmanuel Bautista, current AFP Chief of Staff. He got the moniker from a certain Gang Badoy-Capati when a Florida bus fell into a ravine in Bontoc, Mountain Province last February 2014. Gang Badoy's blog on "Manny Sundalo". Leadership that serves is what the Filipinos deserve. 

Atty. Dot Gancayco

Atty. Dot Gancayco with hubby, Atty. Paul (Ambo) Gancayco are active Rotarians. "Service above Self." Recently, Dot has been recognized as 2014 Most Outstanding Deltan of UP Delta Lambda Sigma Sorority. 

And this is me... Now what horn can I toot about myself... Uhmmm... But this piece is not about bragging rights. It is about an epiphany. I am in the company of leaders who share the understanding that success is tied with the number of people whose lives has been better because of one's existence. :) #Blessedtobless
