This classic photo which I found in my sister Aurora's collection ( and there are dozens more of this kind dated as far back as 1949) was taken in front of the Baguio Cathedral. It was during an excursion organized by Fr. Lazaro de Guzman for the Catechism teachers around 1958. I learned much about the Catholic Doctrine from Fr. de Guzman. He invited volunteers ( mostly young people who are out of school at that time ) to undergo a daily "immersion " program learning the basic tenets of our religion. After this training, we were assigned to go to Elementary schools in Asingan to teach what we have learned.
I am the one sitting, extreme right. Beside me is Lito Domaoan. Beside Lito is Mer Gacusana, a young violinist from Dupac, then Ernesto Untalan who worked as a clerk for Fr. de Guzman, then Philip Martin now a retired USN, Nicolas de Guzman( I wonder if he made it as a priest ), then Cornelio Manzano now a Physician in LA. Sitting in front of Cornelio is a very young Jose Nitcha.He is a member of the Nitcha family in Dupac. Thats only the first row but I can't ennumerate all of them otherwise I will run out of space and kilobytes!
You can save a copy of this photo by right clicking it and clicking SAVE so it will go to your My Pictures folder. But if you want to have a high resolution 8.5 by 11" copy in heavy photo paper, you have to contact me..High rez copies are very difficult to transmit thru the internet...
See how many faces you can identify!
