Hi guys!
This is my grandpa when he had to do his speech during the 46th Anniversary and Homecoming of the UP Vanguards. I was just an alien to this party because most of the people present there were in this military fraternity. I was the one who had to guide and accompany him because he's completely blind in his left eye and has a pin hole vision on his right eye.
I learned a lot from this party like the class of my grandpa. He was the oldest person there.
This was the whole program.
It started with the entrance of colors. Those helmets looks so amusing wherein they are sharp enough to kill someone. I thought of them as unicorns as soon as they entered haha.
Imagine this, they had to roll call everybody who attended this. From the oldest class to the most recent ones. There was also something funny about the hall, there were poles in the middle. They were all joking about girls dancing there later in the night.
After the roll call they had the brotherhood round wherein they all shake hands while I was there taking photos of my grandpa. They call themselves as brads.
This was when they were giving the donation of BP apparatuses and Neublizers for one of the places here
We had to wait for aroudn 2 hours before eating because of the program. This was the dinner that they served! The food there was actually good.
I sat with some of the people who are on going taking the course. You actually notice how disciplined they are where they have to do all the commands of the higher ups. And one of the people in our table told them to relax and enjoy. We had a live band performing and some of the members would jam with them.
They called the birthday celebrants of January and my grandpa turned 85 during the 11th.
This were all the people who were celebrating their birthdays. My grandpa had to give a speech because he was the oldest birthday celebrant. The youngest birthday celebrant also had to say a speech.
After the program I was just watching and listening to my grandpa while he was talking and drinking. Some guy actually utilized the poles. I noticed during this gathering that as the generations get younger, there were more women compared to the older classes.
Thanks for reading!
