Presentation of Plans and Programs
DOCUMENTATION AND COMMUNICATION COMMITTEE
- The Documentation and Communications committee has proposed that we come up with a site that will showcase the updates of our Board meetings, as well as family related activites and event. (hence the birth of our blogspot =P)
- We have also proposed to come up with a Table Top "book" -- this is something like a scrap book of all our pix from the year that was and this will be distributed during our reunions as a give-away. (of course, aside from the free items that we get from Auntie Bebot, Auntie Juliet and Auntie Hermie... hehehehehe)
- I will come up with a sample of the Table Top "book" but no deadline was set yet. (which is good because i am so up to my throat with work =P)
- We will also be reviving our Friendster and Yahoo groups account so please post in any discussions that you want us to talk about. (Currently, there's only me and Kuya Sonny there)

ENTERTAINMENT COMMITTEE
- They are cooking up exciting plans for the following: All Soul's Day, Christmas Party, Lolo Doring's birthday, Lola Conching's birthday, Lolo Doring's Death anniversary, and Lola Conching's Death anniversary. (One things for sure, we will be eating again... heheheheh)

Lawis Updates
- The updates are pertaining to the 2178sqm lot at Madridejos.
- A concern over the right of way was raised and that it needs to be surveyed by Uncle Tatie.
- Kuya Sonny already made estimates on the perimeter fencing as this is considered as one of the most urgent thing to do considering the current circumstance. (forgot which one... sorry =D)
- It was also discussed on finalizing what to make use of the lot for and Kuya Bombie has suggested that we make it into a Pension house. We are encouraged to make suggestions on other business endeavors that we can do there.
- Kuya Bombie also mentioned that we will put signages on around the property. He will be the one to shoulder this (God Bless Kuya's soul... =D) and timeline provided for deployment is 2weeks.
- Uncle Boy (Bacolod) raised the possiblity of applying for a loan with the lot as a collateral so that the proceeds will finance the fencing and then become a start up capital for the business that we shall go into.
- Kuya Bombie mentioned that we can put up a convenience store here in Cebu City where every member of the family shall do their groceries. (If si Ate Daisy daw mag bantay, puede ra gives. =D)

Treasurer's Status report
- Auntie Neneng is currently in Cagayan helping out Auntie Gloria and because of this, it was suggested that someone should handle the Treasurer's duties and responsibilities in the event the Auntie Neneng has to travel out of town (dili pa country).

Reunion 2009
- The board shall decide on the flow of the reunion. Uncle Boy (Bacolod) expressed his interest on what transpired during our reunion held at Tambuli wherein the activity was well planned and well executed with the program and objectives in place.
- Initially, the Board defined that purpose of the reunion: Election of new set of officers, Fellowship, and Annual General Assembly.
- Uncle Boy (Bacolod) moved to have the Entertainment Committee present to the Board the plans for the upcoming reunion. Therefore, Entertainment Committee Head (Jojo) is tasked to coordinate with our loved ones (=D) in Cagayan De Oro.

Other Matters
- Uncle Boy (Bacolod) proposed that he can bring in entertainers from Manila to present here in Cebu as fund raising for the foundation. (Kitty Girls daw ingon si Kuya Bombie... ug si Katrina Halili daw puede ila Kuya Sonny... hehehehehe)
