Hildigardeans at the Great City of Houston
By MA-ANNABELLE VINALON- SUMAYLO

The Hildegardeans are the second pioneering graduates of the College of Nursing of then, Divine Word College of Tagbilaran, now Holy Name University. Twenty years have passed since their graduation and they successfully celebrated their platinum class reunion last June 19 to 21, 2009 in the great City of Houston, Texas, USA.

Everything is big in Texas; hence the celebration was equally gigantic. A huge turnout of about 150 attendees comprised of 35 Hildegardeans, nine clinical instructors and their families. Class advisers Margaret Pana-Faisal and Jevica Virtudes were the speakers of the historic event of gratitude and friendship.

The reunion officially launched, June 19, 2009, with mass and registration at The Lakes of Country Place Clubhouse. Western was the starting theme as representation of Texan culture. At this time election of new officers was held and they were sworn in by the outgoing vice president, Ma. Viven Flores- Monterde came evening at Gold Ribbon restaurant. The officers are: Annabelle Bantugan- Valdesanzo (pres); Velma Tibog- Hontucan (VP- U.S.); Loida Poquita- Aparicio (VP-Phil); Secretaries are Ma. Cristina Morilla- Veloso; Armi Garma and Ma. Liza Balabis- Balonda; Treasurers are Julia Uy- Ranis and Ma. Minda Campbell- Dehing; Ma. Luz Salvani- Redulla -auditor; PROs are Tita Llano- Borja and Glecilda Ortega- Baker; Sgt. at Arms Ande Tagimacruz and Victor Vincent Orion.

In the second day of the celebration, June 20, 2009, a grand gala was held at Marriott Hotel Medical Center with a local live band. The crowned Hildie Queen is Romana Cornell with dashing king Victor Vincent Orion. Luau party officially culminated the festivity at Adair Park on June 21, 2009. Invited guests were the alumni and friends who helped the celebration phenomenal.
In addition to the official activities, generous party invitations were hosted by Houston Hildies. Starting with pre-reunion welcome party sponsored by Boyax and Zipporah Orion, followed by scrumptious breakfast at Roel and Lissa May Gonzales’ home, and farewell pool party by Mike and Pinky Jao.

The success of the Hildegardeans Platinum Class reunion was made possible by the unselfish commitment of the Houston Planning Committee and their spouses spearheaded by Ma-Annabelle Vinalon- Sumaylo with Zipporah Fortich- Orion (Chairperson- First Day); Elizabeth Vergas- Halbert (chairperson- Second day); Emelita Chatto- Lomod (Chairperson- Third day); and Lissa May Asunto- Gonzales (chairperson- communications). Other members are: Julie Vitae Armachuelo; Boyax Orion; Ma. Theresa Penales- Jao; Juliet Tumanda- Cimene; and Edgar Loquellano.
The Hildegardeans Class ‘89 are looking forward to another grand reunion in July 2014 in celebration of their Silver Anniversary which will be held in Tagbilaran City, Bohol, Philippines. We are calling all Hildegardeans around the world to attend the anticipated reunion and to join our Yahoo website by contacting Annabelle Bantugan- Valdesanzo at [email protected].

Viva Hildegardeans!

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
