after writing three songs about my hometown
in the province of romblon
i must think of other things that i could say
and write down in still another song
but since i have been away from the place
for such a very long, long time
i can only make my observations based on
pictures and things that i see online....
I
i have heard from a friend
that in january of two thousand eight,
some of our classmates held
a well-planned re-union
in doctor fonte's place
it was the golden jubilee of the
romblon high school class
of 1958
it must have been a lot of fun
for all who attended it
refrain:
romblon high school is the name
we called our alma mater then
but they've changed it to romblon national high
school since way back when
i think the change in the name of our high
school can mean a lot of things
that can bring about an improvement in the
already high standard of instruction there
romblon high school i think is one of
the best high schools in the world
for one, its idyllic location defies description
in every sense of the word
alumni who've passed through its portals
have made a name for themselves
in the fields of endeavor they've chosen
or other causes they've decided to serve
chorus:
we are proud to belong
to the romblon high school class
of nineteen fifty eight
and we say a solemn prayer
for teachers and classmates
whose company we now surely miss
though they are gone from our midst
they are now in a much better place
and we pause to remember
moments that we shared
during our romblon high school days
we are proud to belong
to the romblon high school class
of nineteen fifty eight
we're also proud to be part of a school
whose history is full of success
most of us now enjoy
the fruits of our
full retirement years
ever grateful for the lessons
that we learned
from our romblon high school
teachers of yesteryears
refrain:
romblon high school is the name
we called our alma mater then
but they've changed it to romblon national high
school since way back when
i think the change in the name of our high
school can mean a lot of things
that can bring about an improvement in the
already high standard of instruction there
romblon high school i think is one of
the best high schools in the world
for one, its idyllic location defies description
in every sense of the word
alumni who've passed through its portals
have made a name for themselves
in the fields of endeavor they've chosen
or other causes they've decided to serve...

Silvestre Acejas because of the comment of Maria Crislil Nina Costo,wishing that her father were able to attend the rhs class 58 reunion, i have made a revision of the above song "still another song about my hometown of romblon" to pay tribute to our rhs cl...ass 58 classmates who are now no longer with us....with the additon of a stanza in the chorus that says: we are proud to belong to the romblon high school class of nineteen fifty eight, yet we humbly say a prayer in memory of classmates whose company we now will surely miss, though they are gone from our midst we know that they have gone to a much better place, and we pause to remember all the pleasant times they shared with us during our romblon high school days.... i've now posted the revised version in my notes here in facebook...Ver más
