"DUDE, WHERE IS MY VALEDICTORIAN?!?"

No worries, Maris' hubby, Erick, found her! Here is rare footage of our valedictorian, Angie, speaking to the UPRHS brainiac bumpercrop of 2008 at Audi. [WOW, I didn't know the carmaker Audi bought the name rights to the auditorium in College!] Mrs. Capanzana-Advincula warmed up the crowd for Mrs. Argosino-Cielo. Great job, Angie!!! Only wish we could have seen the whole speech! BTW, the mural shown on 0:10, is that you reading a book to the children?

Speaking of Maris' hubby, and if you notice the YTer who posted Angie's video, he is part of the local band UPLB Kairos, a band with a worthwhile ministry/social work. But let me have Maris tell you more about the band and their cause.

Maris?

Maris:
"Thanks, Cy! The band helps raise funds for the education of street kids' kaya # 1 fan and supporter ako. :-). They don't have a website but they have some videos already on YT. Just search for UPLB Kairos and the videos of their performances should come up. This Sept. 10 they will have their fund-raising concert for the street children that they have been caring for since 2006. Bale Sept. 10, 2008, 7 pm, Maquiling School Gym. There will be other talents who will grace the event like new freshmen singing idols, my daughter's band (Binibinbato; she's the drummer), Lakbaylahi, an ethnic group and Wyre Underground, hip-hop dancers of UPLB. The streetkids will also have their own dance number. Siempre, andun ako at buong pamilya ko to support them and their cause. My kids have been learning how to be generous kasi friends/alaga din nila itong mga streetkids. Legacy of their father yun."

Did I not tell you it was cool? Maris' hubby is a musician/songwriter, their daughter, a drummer...hey, Maris, what is your musical talent?...& I didn't even know Maquiling has a gym now.
