Another Ateneo de Naga University High School Batch 1990 achiever. We are proud of you Mahgn! Congratulations!

MAHGN R. COLLAO, MD, a Diplomate in Radiology, was one of the new Philippine College of Radiology Fellows inducted at the Hotel Continental, Makati City , recently.

Currently working as Ragiologist/Sonologist in a number of hospitals and diagnostic clinics in Metro Manila and the suburbs, including Rizal and Laguna, Dr. Collao has made known his intent to practice his profession in the Bicol region, particularly Naga City , his home place. He hopes to contribute by way of “expertise sharing” to providing “more quality and affordable health service to the public, particularly fellow Bicolanos.”

Hello Batchmates and friends,

As we all know, the last typhoon hit the Bicol region pretty hard. We’ve seen and heard it on the news. Many have become homeless; with their source of livelihood gone with it. My mother says that in some areas, while people were given shelter, they hardly have anything to sustain them. Government funds are not enough to provide relief to those affected by the typhoon. I ask for your help to open our network and to contribute for those affected by the typhoon in Bicol. I have spoken with the Cristina Tabora of the Philippine Jesuit Foundation here in New York and she advised a couple ways to send donations.

You may send check donations to Ateneo de Naga University earmarked “Typhoon Reming/AdNU” or “Typhoon Reming/Homeless” or send remittances directly to:

ADNU Dollar Account: 8864-0093-02
Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI)Caceres Branch
SWIFT Code: BOPIPHMM
Routing:0053873
Branch Code: 886

If tax-deductible receipt in theUnited States might be required, you may send your checks earmarked same as above to:

Philippine Jesuit Foundation
130 Beekman Street, Studio 4-A
New York, NY 110038 USA

For the time being, please share and disseminate any information on  consolidated efforts organized by any  batchmate(s) around the globe for the same purpose. I will continue to coordinate with the Philippine Jesuit Foundation on any further advice on gathering relief goods or donations in kind.

I appeal to your generosity. Whatever you can spare will go a long way for those who need them. If there are others whom you know are willing to share their blessings, please help me spread the word.

Fr. Johnny Sanz passed away on Sunday, December 18, 2006 at the Loyola House, Ateneo de Manila University.

Fr. Sanz remained true to his vocation, committed to his vision of expressing his ideas and feelings through his witty yet memorable sermons and his love of the game of football. He was passionate about the hardships of the striving Atenistas; the struggle against poverty; his ties to Bicol and to Our Lady of Penafrancia; and his love for his students and football players.

His sense of fun and that unique laugh will be painfully missed.

Visitation and vigil is held at Loyola House, Ateneo de Manila University. Burial will be on Thursday, December 21, 2006.

Ateneo de Naga High School Class 1990 visitation and vigil schedule will be announced shortly.
