Parade VIP groupfie
Shaking hands with Sen. Heherson “Sonny” Alvarez (1939-2020), Herneral Antonio Luna Parade Grounds, University of the Philippines Dilimán, Quezón City.
Senator Alvarez is a fraternity brother of mine, in the UP Vanguard which is comprised of graduates of the ROTC (Reserve Officer Training Course) of the UP (University of the Philippines).
Aside from coming across Sen. Alvarez during courtesy calls by the cadet officers of the UP ROTC, or during the annual UP Vanguard Homecomings; I have interacted with his in my environmental work, and I was surprise how he had recognized me in the field.
This picture was taken circa 1998, during the “Parade in Review” during the annual UP Vanguard Homecoming at the height of the Philippine Centennial celebrations (1898-1998).
