Kanoans at Manang Hipol's b'day bash.

Hi, a group of Phillikans were in Paramount last Saturday, 07-29, to join Manang Purita Hipol celebrate her 77th birthday -- Nati Palanca, the Hornillas - Lily and Cesar, the Bernardos - Coring and Alex, the Ferrans - Rodel and Tessie, Ruben Manalo and his wife, Brenda, Angel Mariano, Gloria Paradero and husband, William, and Cleoty with her daughter Jane. We missed the Susims (Andy and Raquel), Garcias (Boy and Cita) and Chato Mariano. (Also expected, were the Villaruels - Riz and Tony).
Hi-lites of the celebration was a short discussion about the planned reunion on December 9th in Long Beach (Hornilla's place). We really, really hope this pushes through!! Also, Rodel, accompanied on the guitar by Angel, sang a special song for the celebrant; the celebrant herself sang, too. Nati and the group, as usual, kept the mood high with their medley of native melodies. The group parted by 8:00 p.m.
It will be real nice if we could find the time to come together and just talk and sing once a month!!! (Princess and Edgar Parungao - parungao.home@verizon.net)
