In honor of the Sto. Niño who'd grow up to be the Lord of the Dance, faithful devotees would do native dance and dance wherever they maybe - from Cebu and towns all over the Philippines.

SANTO NIñO NG AMING BUHAY

(INFANT JESUS OUR LIFE)

Santo Niño ng aming buhay,

bukal ng biyayang dalisay,

buong puso kaming sumasamba at sayo'y nag-mamahal.

Itulot mo kaming matulad,

sa iyong mga kabanalan

at gawin mong mababang loob

at masunuring Sa 'yong kalooban.

O Niño Jesus dinggin

ang aming pagsuyo, sa iyong

Paanan ay nagsusumamo.

Iyong iparamdam ang alay na iyong nais

Sumpa naming lahat na ito ay

aming tutuparin.

(Koro)

Sanggol na tumubos ng kasalanan

Ng sansinukob, paglilingkod sa 'yo

alay namin Panginoon kami'y

Iyong dinggin.

Amazing Stairs - Loretto Chapel - Sante Fe, New Mexico

I've seen this story in one of those travel shows on PBS TV. It's truly an amazing story if not a wonderful secret of a carpenter. Turn on your speaker - the tune of Lonely Shepherd reminds me of "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" or one of those spaghetti western of Clint Eastwood.

2012 USTPMTBBAA REUNION Collage

HAPPY AND UNFORGETTABLE MOMENTS IN PICTURES OF THE EIGHTH LAS VEGAS REUNION - FLAMINGO HOTEL

With our fellow alumni we rejoiced in seeing and being with schoolmates, old friends and few former professors. We marveled how still young and beautiful we are and at everyone's professional success and achievements. The reality had hit us hard - how life had been good to us all and hope to continue to be. Indeed, celebrating in the name of our alma mater UST is an acknowledgement that where we are today and where we are going in the days to come we owe a little or large of our journey to our Thomasian education and heritage.
