am reposting here these brilliant words from gerry arnedo (b83) for sano bawozo...
I used to call him the “Great Pang-Bawi” The only somber and sane voice among the boisterous, rowdy crowd that the Class of ’83 was in its heyday. As a class, we could be considered crass and arrogant and too confident in our wise-ass ways. Except that it would not be fair, because we had Fr. Jimmy in our group, and he was the antithesis of all that.
To say that he was well-grounded and humble is a gross understatement. Fr. Imbo had this wise-beyond-his-years sense of self. He knew he was more than intelligent, and yet saw no sense in calling the world’s attention to it. He was an Oak among Cherry Blossoms, unspectacular in the display of his hues but definitely the steadiest of the lot. You could say he died as he lived, choosing the most quiet of ways, leaving in his sleep, leaving while all of us were asleep. He would have it no other way

A commendable project sa OLPS. they are setting-up a biogas digester to save on cooking gas expenses and in the future generate additional power for OLPS needs --electricity and heat.
Mga Sano! Father Rector is asking for suggestions na name para sa OLPS Minor Varsity Team. post your suggestions sa comment and i'll paste it here. Go on to live in the OLPS lore as the sano who bestowed the OLPS varsity name!!!! dali-dali na kamo! Also basi may Sano o batch na gusto mag-sponsor san varsity team --uniform, food, transpo, etc please contact Fr. Rector.
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.
