Rare and old photo



Bro Jojo Foo sent another photo. He said this one was rare because he is in it. Most of the time he take the pictures, thus he is rarely not in the photo. This was taken at the old Olongapo Boy Scout Headquarters at the back of FilAm (now the Olongapo Convention Center).

Shown, from left to right: are Bro Alex Manlutac (a DeMolay from Bataan), Jojo, PHQ Sis Brenda and Netoy.

I guess old kasi nanduon si Netoy, just kidding bro!

"A picture which was rare due to the fact that I took pictures most of the time and I'm not in it. This was taken at HQ at the back of FilAm where we spent aaaaaaalot of our times (Scouting Days to DeMolay)."

Back in Time: Late 1970's


Picture above taken more than 20 years ago, showing the very close relationship among TRY DeMolays and Bethel No 1 Jobies. I can barely remember still this occassion.

The picture was shared by Bro Jojo Foo, now based in Los Angeles.

Not too sure about the exact time and occassion but looks like one of many parades that the DeMolays and Jobies go to. The jeepney owner looks like the one own by Bro Ben "Tsupao" Bautista.

While the mini car at the back belongs to Bro Jojo Foo. From memory I think it was of those minica red car that can fit seven or more DeMolays without a problem. Same goes for the "owner" of Bro Bautista.

It looks like sitting in front of the owner is Sis Annabel Adamos and Sis Annabelle Cuenco.

Looking on, at the background, close to the lodge's entrance are: (from left to right) Bro Vic Mercurio, Bro Leo "Daggy" Martinez, Bro Ruben "Pagong" Bautista, looking over the "owner" in singlet is I think Bro Gerry Domingo (the driver looks like Bro Ben Bautista) and Bro Pechie Fontillas.

At the back, among the brods sitting on the car, I can only identify Bro Sia (leaning on the car in dark shirt) and the one sitting on the hood with glasses is Bro Ruel Blanco. From left, I think that is Bro Mabini Francisco and partly hidden is Bro Sydney Albano.

If you can identify more, please leave a comment.
