Presentation of "One Hundred First" During the WILOCI Testimonial to Excellence

One Hundred First started as a handicap.

When I volunteered for our commemorative program committee over a year ago, my first realization was that the silver anniversary of my class - the class of 1987 - would be the year following the centennial celebrations of the College of Law.

Which meant that we would probably be even more burdened by donor fatigue, alumni disinterest and a general sense of "what could come after a centennial?"

But I realized that the turn of a century is historically a time of hope, of looking forward, and the silver jubilee of my class would be the first year of this brave new century of the College of Law. So handicap became inspiration.

Introduction of Risa Hontiveros Baraquel as Guest Speaker for the PBA Fellowship

This is a difficult task for me because I have been asked to introduce someone who I do not know personally. So with the indulgence of our guest speaker, and with a nod to her career as a journalist, allow me to start by asking a few seering true or false questions to truly get to know her -

True or false - our guest speaker is a talented singer and some of her favourite pieces are “All I Ask of You,” “Ikaw Lang Ang Mamahalin,” and “Saranggola sa Ulan.”

True or false - when she was thirteen, our guest speaker played one of the Von Trapp children in the Repertory Philippines production of the “Sound of Music”.

It is true that she is the widow of Francisco Baraquel Jr. with whom she has four children, one boy and three girls. But - true or false - our guest speaker watched the Jonas Brothers, The 3D Concert Experience, with her daughters, and later said that the Jonas Brothers cannot sing!

Finally, true or false - our guest speaker wears a shawl or alampay as a political statement matching its color to her advocacy of choice.
