Dear Fellow PSHS Alumni,

Please come join your fellow PSHS alumni from 4 decades for the PSHSAA Alumni Concert this coming August 30, 2007 at 7pm at the AFP Theater, Camp Aguinaldo in Quezon City. Dubbed "Pisay@43com.2gether (I Am What I Jam)", it will be a grand musical reunion for all of us, led by the early Pisay talents from pioneer batch '69 up to the musical batch '75. Each of the first 8 batches of the PSHS will present a musical tribute of their own featuring music of their era.

The concert will also feature special performances from well-known PSHS alumni, led by AFP Chief of Staff Gen. Hermogenes Esperon Jr. '70, Navy Chief Vice-Admiral Rogelio Calunsag '70, Mapua Institute of Technology President Dr. Reynaldo Vea '69 (the very first PSHS Valedictorian), UP College of Engineering Dean Rowena Guevarra '80, popular Opus Dei priest Fr. Jaime Achacoso '70, former NEDA Director-General Dr. Cielito Habito '70, and more! Himig Agham, the PSHS student choir, will also perform.

The concert promises to be an evening of fun and Pisay camaraderie, while helping raise funds for your alumni association's various projects, including the forthcoming 6th Gawad Lagablab Outstanding Alumnus Awards, the Alumni Forums, the planned Grand Pisay Alumni Congress, facilities support for our alma mater, and other projects to enable PSHS Alumni to pay back to the school, and pay forward to the Filipino people, the avowed Mission of the PSHSAA.

Tickets are available at P500 (Patron), P350 (Sponsor), P200 (Regular) and P100 (Young Alumni and students -- i.e. only for batches 2000 and up).

You may address inquiries and place orders for tickets with me at cfhabito@mozcom.com (or text 0917-500-5224) or Vince Ragay (Concert Director) at mailto:hvimra2000@yahoo.com (0916-771-4615). Or just come to the concert venue on the evening of August 30, 2007 and get your tickets at the entrance (please drop us a line if you intend to come, so we can make sure we reserve tickets for you!).

Come bring your batchmates, family and friends for this unique opportunity to witness the hidden talents of PSHS science scholars through the decades!

See you all on Thursday, August 30!

Mabuhay,

Ciel Habito '70
PSHSAA &PSHSNAA President
