The Seminary Varsity will be joining the Sorsogon Juniors Basketball League on August 20 - September 08, 2009. Our varsity basketball team is under the able hands of our own Sano, Coach Aldin V. Ayo (batch 94). We would like to solicit the support of all Sano out there.Visit the OLPS minor blog for more news and pics
If you are around Sorsogon please be present during the scheduled games. We would like also to ask for suggestions on the OLPS "moniker" and not only that.... if any generous Sano would like to sponsor the team uniform, it would be highly appreciated.
For many years the Seminary has dominated the field of Basketball in Sorsogon but we had been out of the limelight for some time now. Our return to the field does not promise to bring back the golden days of Seminary Basketball but at least have our presence felt again. And with a dear hope that someday we shall rise and shine again.

calling all sano interested to help out in the prep works for the 2008 OLPS foundation day, please sign up here. Batch 83 is in charge of this year's foundation day and they need all our help to make this year's foundation day the best ever.
i have no idea yet about the plans re from the OLPS minor or from B83 but they could surely use our help. ok?
one of the problems frequently encountered is communicating will all the sano. perhaps some sano there in sorsogon can help out Ms. Halcon or whoever is in charge of OLPS Alumni Relations to send out letters/emails/text to all sano about the foundation activities.
suggestions are most welcome here and i'll email them to padi rector and to gerry arnedo (b83) and also circulate them via our mailing list.
