Tatlong Hari reunion

Joey V., Aga and Cholo

Tatlong Hari sa Cubao..in Robinsons

FRANCE - Friends Remain And Never Could End. This is true for my Dulaang Sibol friends, Cholo Mallillin and Joey Valdez. Athough they have been best friends since grade school and Cholo has been a classmate of mine twice, the friendship we established as members of the famed Dulaang Sibol still holds till this very day.

Together with friends we met along the way

Cholo's wife and Therese

Cholo Mallillin has gone from being at the Student Affairs Department of the Ateneo to various companies like Philam Life, ESA and GLobe Telecoms. Today he is back at the Ateneo and what a great place to work in considering you are actually working with the one of the best minds in the country. If there is something I envy is that he is working in a place where it all started for us.

That's us being normal

Joey Valdez on the other hand works abroad. Sometimes being there works to his favor because everytime he goes home we try our best to see each other and have fun. Funny thing is that I don't usually bump into Cholo every so often, the only times I see him is when Joey is in the country. Joey has a daughter who he always creates websites for and asks us to give greetings and messages. We've been doing that for the past ten years and just like a facebook account, we literally saw her daughter grow online.

As you can see I am now called Aga

It was a nice Sunday afternoon when we all came together. Joey even brought with him his mom, Tita Ampie and his dad. Cholo brought his mom and kids as well. Wow it was really a blast since his part of us growing up was being guided by their parents. It was really great seeing them. And as the afternoon went to evening, it was time to bid them farewell and wait again until the next reunion comes along. Its been twenty five years since we staged the Tatlong Hari sa Cubao play at Dulaang Sibol and being with Joey and Cholo makes it look like it was just yesterday.
