My wife and I will be in the Philippines from February 22nd to March 15th. Main reason is to attend my 50th Class Reunion at De La Salle University in Manila. A first cousin who is not doing well, healthwise, resides about 30 minutes from Dumaguete city. We will try to schedule a visit. Let me know the date, time and location of any gathering I think we can maybe arrange for a meet in your time frame at the beginning of march. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, our monthly gathering would normally be in about 3 weeks from now. That would put it on or about Wed March 8 at 1 o'clock. Let us know in this thread if there is a better date for you before we firm up a date. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJReyes Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 Dumaguete Gathering in March What about March 9th or 10th? Someone else in Manila is coordinating our travel itinerary. My wife has her own schedule teaching Yoga & Tai-Chi to friends, while our alumni group has multiple activities including out of town trips. I can't reserve tickets to Dumaguete until after our Philippine arrival. Our stay is in Tanza (?) so I probably need to hire a car & driver to get back to the city.

We tend to get together mid week most of the time as some members have lots going on during the weekends. Can you (and all other interested peeps) do Thursday March 9? Probably at Coco Amigos as its a favorite of ours and centrally located. It would be nice to get a larger than normal group so we can fix more of the world's problems :-) And Coco's also has Canadian Whiskey (if I did not drink it all last time - I forget) just in case beer or coffee is not to your liking You mentioned a place called Tanza and I am not familiar with it. If you mean Tanjay (pronounced tan-high by the locals) then its close enough that you could get to town by jeepney in an hour or so. Or there is a Ceres bus or there is the option of hiring car or motorcycle etc. Hope to meet you there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will confirm after our arrival in the Philippines. My wife and I are looking forward to meeting forum members from Dumaguete. Aloha - J.J.

JJReyes Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 Sorry everyone, but my wife and I won't make it to the March 9th gathering. Certain issues have surfaced with regards to the sale of our 40+ hectares mango farm. My time would have to be spent in family meetings. The transaction is already three years delayed. During that time period, the local currency has depreciated more than 10% which really pisses me off. Good for everyone whose funds come from overseas, but not for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does not mean I "like" it that you are not coming 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
