These
reunions are focused on bonding,
updating on each other's family
circumstances, and of course,
reminiscing on our QCHS
experiences. Later our plan is to do
some activities to help one another,
to assist the school in its activities,
and hopefully do worthwhile social
work. Hopefully in the future the
Philippines-based and US-based
Batch 70 members can meet and
have activities for the common
good. To get the latest update,
