Sa Mga Palangga Namon Nga Mga Katapo sang CPU HighSchool - Batch '72 Plus
 
      Kumusta lang dira sa inyo tanan, labi na gid ang mga wala nakatambong sa isa-ka gatos(100) nga tuig sa pagsukat sang aton buluthu-an!
 
      I hope you can still understand deep Hiligaynon. How nice of you to re-echo our Centennial Class Reunion exactly one year after we have done it here in CPU. Di pa Las Vegas pa kamo!!!
 
      Perhaps it is our uniqueness as a class or rather as a batch that we have such a strong bond of unity. Despite our distance and our differences, many of you still try to take time out to say "hello" or "kumusta". Special mention si Gil, si Jane, si Ruth, kag si Roci Luz. Such simple messages bring happiness to us who are left behind here in the Philippines knowing that we still have a place in your heart. What strengthens our batch actually is that we believe in ourselves. All of us are in fact successful in different ways. So indi kamo da magsagay worry.
 
      What we ask of you out there, is that please don't forget to teach your children and your children's children(mga apo kag mga apo sa tuhod) that you once came from humble beginnings. Instill in them the thought that a generation ago you came from a poor country (and still quite poor up to now) and arrived in the US with nothing but dreams for a decent life (the proverbial "American Dream").
 
      Now that you have made it, may you continue to inspire others, including us, your batchmates, that even in our "fifties", we can still achieve something worthwhile not only for ourselves but also for others. Let us prove to the whole CPU Community that we can make a difference. Of course, we still look forward to whatever help that you may extend us, especially those who, inspite of hardwork continue to remain hard-up. In Hiligaynon, "bisan ano ka bira-bira paninguha, pigado man gihapon."
 
      In our siple way, please be informed that "Central is in our Hearts" was composed as a homecoming song with you out there as inspiration. You are the "Chasers of dreams" who "soared high, proud and free." Hopefully, it will be sung each time Centralians hold an Alumni Homecoming anywhere in the world. Please help in popularizing the song. This will be our collective gift to CPU and a priceless legacy to our children.
 
      Again, please promise me that you will strive hard to let the generation after us, meaning our children, remember what we have gone through. That the load of  all our trials and even failures were lightened because CPU has instilled in us the true meaning of "Christian Faith," that wherever we are, whatever we do, we remain true followers of  Christ. Long live Central!!!
 
 
      Mabuhay kita tanan!!!  Salamat gid.
   
Ang inyo kubos pero ma-alwan nga abyan,
