There’s no more fitting title here than our org’s name: after all, this issue is dedicated solely to it.
We are indeed in a beautiful junction in the life of this organization. To put it in another way, we are in a historic period of its existence. Whatever term one call it, it is an undeniable fact – we are at 20. I do not profess that such age would amount to strength, although that one should accompany it as it (in this case, the org) ages. Prior to the celebrations, we, the resident members were in confusion, reluctant to partake in the activities planned by the organization’s founders. It meant two things to me: the residents’ demise and my own demise as the presiding officer. But things do not always come out the way we expect it. Instead of having a barrage of scolds and interrogations, I went home that day changed.
And I say changed.
Lagos (despite the lateness of this particular issue) contains today a recollection of our twentieth anniversary celebrations as well as a number of thoughts collated from some of the members and the org’s online group. I do not guarantee that this release is sufficient to reproduce the feelings that we had as members and as persons present in that memorable celebration. Here, we put together what we want to preserve in Lagos as a form of tribute to the organization.
If ever I’ll still be around when the year doubles to forty, I would gladly open Lagos for another set of its records of the celebrations.
Long live Kapatirang Pitong Lawa sa U.P. Los Baños!
