ILO-ILO ACM FELLOWSHIP
by Reynold Glenn Jaboneta
October 10, 2007...All roads lead to Rome...Villa Sagrado. This is the city of love...Iloilo and we are graced by the presence of Mr. Efren "Bogs" Dancel. His visit and stay in Iloilo paved the way for the so-called ACM fellowship.
Present were Fr. Danilo M. Failadona, C.M., Acting Rector of De Paul College, Fr. Thursisius P. Gonesto, C.M., Chaplain:De Paul College, Ariel Bendo, professor: St. Paul University, Arman Forbes, professor:Colegio de San Jose, Felix Sareno and Steve Laster of Colegio del Sagrado Corazon de Jesus, and Reynold Glenn S. Jaboneta, De Paul College.
Candle light dinner...bouquet of roses as centerpiece. ..students from Sagrado who according to the introduction of Felix were winners in various bar tending and bottle juggling competitions showcased their skills before us.
Bogs answered questions regarding the ACM like the mission-vision of this group. He shared with us too what activities the ACM were doing in the past up to the present. He suggested a similar activities we need to do as members of ACM based in Iloilo.
Stories like Ariel and Al Rey in violation of No Jaywalking in Lawton Adamson days and made to come up the stage somewhere in Lawton with a note on a loud speaker not to imitate the example of the two. The Enteng Band...success stories...good news...bits and pieces of seminary life.
It was also my night. Imagine Sharon Cuneta and Cherie Gil with the dialogue and then getting wet because somebody needs to pour water into somebody's face. I went through the night with a lighter version. When the waiter was serving drinks he literally got me soaked into liters of ice tea. It was Felix Sareno's or Bogs' version. The people in-charge was so kind enough and sensitive to keep me dry. As they say, the show must go on, so the nite went through. Everytime a dish or a drink was served I stayed away from the table to avoid another dramatic moment.
The night was magical, romantic(Propesor Tuko has Romeo and Juliet. I was made to dress like Juliet that special night). But last night it was my night after more than ten years of not seeing Romeo.
The night was made historic because for the first time we were made aware of our roots as Vincentians in a fellowship such as this.
It was a Wednesday but in the spirit of Tuesday Conferences.
