I was overwhelmed to meet the very famous Daniel Anza, the Pato Diver (Left), whose popularity exceeded that of the otherwise popular Tomas “Tommy” Arguelles (above right). In the last 2nd SBC Global Reunion, Tomas was ecstatic to see Anza and emphatically greeted him: “Daniel Anza the Pato Killer!” but the latter whispered to me “who is that sonnafabitch, kilala niya ako pero hindi ko siya kilala?”.
I told that he is the otherwise famous alumnus the amiable non pareil Tommy Arguelles - the younger brother of his bosom friend and fellow Tuba Drinker Ethal Arguelles.
“Ah si Ethal, where is that son of a bitch we have still utang at the Hernandez Tubaan in 1985?,” Anza lighted up in his famous but slow Antikenyo dialect.
Anza taught also Nelson “Yaya” Bandiola and Jackson Concepcion (Lower photo, left) how to imbibe tuba when we were in the last Section D (section of the idiots, mongoloid, nincompoop) in 3rd year at SBC.
I was the first honor of that dreaded Section since most of my classmates could hardly read there despite staying in that 3rd year section for three to five years.
After my 3rd Year Section D I studied in the next year as 3RD Year, yes Virginia as 3rd Year again, but 3rd Year Section St. Paul at the Catholic Sisters’ run Notre Dame of M’lang where I was mixed with intelligent students with surnames like “Boteros”, “Camarinas”, “Quitayen”, to name a few.
After Notre Dame I was transformed from an idiot to a smart-aleck and then to a wannabe intellectual. And there was no turning back baby!

SMILING BLIND MAN. Sa mga friends and classmates last Global Reunion, sorry that we did not meet. I have to guide my blind bosom classmate Mokong Bangcaya – my high school classmate when we were at the Idiot Section called Section D - in going to and from the nook and cranny of the college.
Many people asked why he was all smiles like Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles although he was totally blind on both eyes. My short answer: Got blinded doing Pepping Tom in some CRs of our schools. He had still the smiles because of those things he saw inside the female comfort rooms. Hope this smiling blind, a humorous classmate where I got my humor, becomes a lesson to young male kids to avoid Pepping. Pepping Jabidando, este Plain Pepping or Voyeurism o Paninilip can get you, sanamagan, totally blind like him. |

PARTNER IN CRIMES. The Real McCoys that completed my Global Reunion.
Second from left is the Great Daniel Anza, the Pato Killer, who prowled the neighborhood in the early 1980s to complete our Tuba or Coconut Wine with an illegally acquired duck. Ducks feared his nom de guerre or alias the Pato Diver. He just dove the duck, wrestled it, killed it, cooked it sanamagan. When Alan Ardon (4th from left) met me he was smarting, bakit ko daw nilagay sa video sa Face Book na nag viral siya at si Nono' Manaois na mga virgin pa sila at the age of 55 years old. The humorous Romeo "Mokong" Bangcaya (2nd from Right) who was blind in two eyes because of the flashed of the "private of a giant woman" when he and the gangs were doing Peeping Tom (naninilip) in one of the comfort rooms in our school in the early 1980s. He told me he got blinded after he saw a "Mother of All Mothers". Anza and Bangcaya are dubbed "As the Face that Only a Mother could Love".The other partner in crimes was Jerry Reyes (extreme right). Not in this rare posterity pose is Etal Arguelles and Kid of DepEd |
