PAGTA Acquaintance and Induction Party 2007
Let the dancing begin. It's nice to see young Baguio bred Cordillerans still know how to do the Ballangbang (Oh and they can do a good Boogie too). It's a relief, actually.
We share a history here. Three presidents (two former and one current -- guess who) and one former PAGTA secretary (two terms at that) pose for posterity.

Mr. Abalos shared this in the mail:
the president before me for two terms was Lita Jane
Killip of Sagada. after me was Samuel Sicwaten. they
are both based in the States now.. Pagta was founded
sometime first semester of school year 1978-79 between
the months of August and October..

And Mr. Clayton Dawang (another founding member) added:
Here's what I remember. During Sammy Sicwaten's term,
Diman Felipe was elected Vice Chairman of the Student
Council, Ferdinand Dacanay and Alex Padaen were
elected student Reps. Ruben Tinda-an was the ROTC
Commandant. I think Sammy was also the editor of the
student newsletter. Pagta was a potent force on
campus. Most students thought Pagta was a
fraternity/sorority. EAP was started at that
time...further boosting Pagta membership. Ask Jimmy
Fong, his memory I'm sure is much better than mine.
If you could corner Gregg Abalos, he does not forget
anything. Anyway, Diman is now a Veterinarian in
think and Alex I believe is a lawyer practicing in the
Metro Manila area. Sam is in
La Trinidad.
