TOM CRUISE and the SMA BAND '85

Tom Cruise, yes Tom Cruise the Hollywood actor, when he was yet almost a nobody in movies, starred in TOP GUN and, yes, the (born on the) 4TH OF JULY.

At one time in our Philippine History, this day was INDEPENDENCE DAY not until the late President Diosdado Macapagal's term (out of US'lack of support as Historians would say) did he change ID back to June 12, as it really was (to Aguinaldo's credit).

In my early years in school, we hold no classes today owing it to the imported American FRIENDSHIP.

Brass bands all over the Philippines, especially in military camps - evenMORE in America (INDEPENDENCE DAY) today play marching tunes and what else they wish. Without mentioning the amazing hi-tech fireworks display.

This, is more than enough to recall my SMA days as member of the band.

MARICRES LAGARE was the Majorette, LOURDITA MENDEZ and JANET DELENA were her MINORETTEs.

GLENN TUMUSOK was the Band Leader and ROLDAN RONDERO was the CAT Officer in command.

Here we are with UNIFORMS ON! Heheheheheh....
