If not boogeying to the disco and salsa tunes with the 70\u2019s strobe lights or mimicking the moves of John Travolta, a lot of Vrods and Sis \u201cbelow\u201d (Aggie Chapter) were very busy building the booth for the yearly February Fair, in addition to excelling at their studies. Quiz contests also abounded everywhere to test our mettle (Paramihan ng Alam, anyone?). Or how about the Math and Chemistry Quiz contests? Inter-org sport competitions were also popular, especially volleyball, with Sis Dix B. serving up some of the best spikes this side of the Asian Games. Of course some of the less refined UPLB denizens would tend to indulge themselves in those \u201cbarbaric\u201d frat rumbles but not us Varrons, no matter how provoked we were. Intellectual pursuits were more challenging for us so to speak, and we\u2019d rather excel as leaders \u2013 whether as student editors, student council leaders or student counselors, or as we were \u2013 academic students.<\/p>\n
Alive we were in the UPLB campus in the 70\u2019s, though others were less lucky. With student demonstrations at Mendiola in 1970 and the Plaza Miranda bombing in August 1971 heightened student activism in student campuses all over Manila and Diliman campuses was brought forth. Issues revolved around graft and corruption of government officials, the presence of US military base, increased militarization and abuses of the Marcos military, as well as evident subservience of the Marcos administration to US interest and policies (with the Vietnam War still looming in Asia).<\/p>\n
With the increasing economic poverty in the country New People\u2019s Army – a pro-communist group supposedly – started gathering more sympathy and supposedly increased their violent approach. To counter such encroachment the Marcos government (and incognito cronies) staged some bombings around Manila to sabotage any growing support to the so-called \u201cCommunists\u201d and other leftist elements. This led to the infamous Plaza Miranda bombings which the Marcos government blamed on these Communist subversives. Then in September 1972 fearing the nearing end of his term (the Philippine constitution mandated a term limit on the Presidency), Marcos declared Martial Law on the pretext of saving the Republic. This augured the beginning of Marcos dictatorship (\u201cconstitutional authoritarianism\u201d was the Marcos semantics take on it).<\/p>\n
Against such a backdrop was set the Aggie and Forestry\u2019s famed Dome Booth in 1978 \u2013 with a photo exhibit\/collage of the socio-political realities around us – a blatant tirade against the political status quo, reinforcing our unending quest for the primacy of humane life. Winning the Booth of the Year in 1978 with the \u201cDome\u201d designed by Doc Bonita \u2013 a very inspired collaboration with our Forestry vrods and sis \u2013 it was probably the culmination of the Varrons\u2019 belief of service to society through an enlightened populace.<\/p>\n

The UP Varrons won the Booth of the Year in the 1978 February Fair held at the UP Los Ba\u00f1os playgrounds.<\/p><\/div>\n
Further on the local front a tightly-knit group of Sis lived in the unofficial hangouts or tambayans of the Varrons at Umali subdivision, Gonzales compound or Catalan (Katalan-dian was the more popular name). They had to practically need WMD\u2019s (Weapons of Mass Destruction) to fight off invading vrods and sis who had too much time on their hand to raid their food, privacy and overall peace and quiet (oh come on Sis \u2013 we really love you! By the way \u2013 what is that you\u2019re cooking for dinner? You cooking for 2 or 12?). Whether it\u2019s the adventures of cooking (tinolang puro papaya, anyone? how about some tulya?) or just the ever-present lending ears, the Varrons definitely can spice up your life.<\/p>\n
We really loved our Sis so much (either that or they got tired of the Vrods\u2019 whining) that we even came out with Dearest \u2013 the overall Tia Dely or diary of the ever-romantic Varron. Dearest was the venue for the outpouring of the poet, bohemian, heartbroken, confused Varron student. Get a whiff of this:<\/p>\n
“… though I think I’ll grow old
\ncounting the stars
\nplease let me not die
\nwithout a trail
\nwithout a footprint behind
\nand should you give me back
\nthat long lost smile
\nlook the other way
\nwhen you see me counting
\nlonely steps in a mile” (Oct. 11, 1978)<\/p><\/blockquote>\nIsn\u2019t that enough to turn you mush?<\/p>\n
What could be more romantic than during Valentine\u2019s Days when we look for our Valentinos and Valentinas \u2013 the other half matching our paper puzzle? I can picture our Valentinas (sis) in front of the Women\u2019s dorm during February Fair sweeping from the road down the slope, towards the grounds into the waiting Valentinos (Vrods) – with all the gleeful screams, looking for their match. The prize of a flower, a card, a chocolate or two was waiting. Elboy E and Rose S ended up as the \u201cGuy and Pip\u201d on one such matching. Little did we know that about 30 years or so later the gift of warm memories are forever sealed in our heart.<\/p>\n
And who would better capture that heart forever? Ask a Vrod and Sis who had taken the marital vows together. I\u2019ve heard that such a pairing is a match made in heaven (I have to ask Boboy and Mayen, Obets and Malou, Tanz and Pola, Aris and Lau, Jessie and Joyce, and Ricky and Lisa to name a few). They surely had taken the Varrons\u2019 whistle to another level.<\/p>\n

Come Christmas or other holidays the creative Varron was never idle. We had our Kris Kringle that went on for a week or two. (I was just recently informed that I still owe a Sis a gift from about 30 years ago). We also used to sell for fund-raising those hand-made cards showing our artistic creativity. I particularly remember Sis Judith just coming out spontaneously with those wonderful quotes to scribble on the cards. And who would forget the Robert\u2019s Rules of Order and quorum (50% +1) needed during Varrons\u2019 meetings? Vrod Aris was an outstanding leader way ahead of his time, and could implement a meeting order and quorum to a T. Even now some 30 years later his leadership and steadfast beliefs are as strong as they were then. My hats off to you Vrod!<\/p>\n
Ubu my King Ubu! With a cast of less-than-amateur thespians the Varrons from both Aggie and Forestry could tackle anything. Pouring out all our talents and emotions, the UPLB auditorium was but a stage for our beliefs in political equity, our snide attacks on the powers-that-be and caricatures of the hunger and appetite for power a la Mama Ubu and Papa Ubu (who could those be in the 70\u2019s?). It was political surrealism at the Varrons\u2019 best.<\/p>\n
Music had always been part of our lives, both on stage and off-stage. God forbid how many times Vrods had sung \u201cYou light up my life\u201d to our beloved Sis (and how much our dear Sis put up with it!). And that didn\u2019t even include \u201cImpossible Dream.\u201d Whenever or wherever the Varrons congregate (at the dorms, initiations or the tambayans) somebody always had a guitar. Sis Olah\u2019s glorious voice always gave me chills, and I\u2019d had some private audience with other singers like Ricky M. And I wondered if Vrod Jun P ever made it home (he was very fond of bellowing out \u201cTake Me Home Country Road\u201d). For most other singers (including me) \u2013 let\u2019s just say they required more like bribed audience to bear it. And those dance moves? We had our own in-house choreographer in the person of Sis Len A. Talk about one patient teacher for danseur-wannabe\u2019s like Mario G, Psyche R and Philip S and the rest of Crystal ’77 and FQS ’78! The Year-Ender had always been a wonderful fixture, as well as the Christmas Carolings \u2013 and what better and fun ways to cap each year off!<\/p>\n
A bunch of other campus issues were also prominent, notably the dire shortage of campus housing (we ended up having a middle bed for the 5th occupant at the dorms). This despite the addition of Coop housing and sharing part of the Men\u2019s Dorm with the ladies (not at all unwelcome for the gents). There was also the issue of the inadequacy of GIA funds \u2013 the Iskolar ng Bayan funds. Most prominently one Xmas day was the sudden demise of the UPLB Chancellor in 1978 (a personal loss for me). Within the Aggie member initiations, to paddle or not to paddle still haunted everybody and made for heated discussions at the time. Some expulsions issues of \u201cinactive\u201d members also split the group in two camps. But like always we all survived, may be not all unscathed.<\/p>\n
Looking back now at our individual achievements as parents, civic and community leaders, scientists, professionals and mentors – I can say that the Varrons and their dreams of \u201cad astra per aspera\u201d will remain forever. With our quest for humane life for everyone and where humanity abounds the Varrons will be there. I myself can attest to this \u2013 that wherever I roam in this world personally or professionally I first and foremost look at the human elements \u2013 the people, their culture, their language, their beliefs. I can appreciate the differences we all have because no matter what and where we are – we all strive for a humane life. Varrons in the 70\u2019s had achieved to make a difference in other people\u2019s lives, specifically locally where we lived. Basing of everybody\u2019s individual achievements for the past 45 years every Varron will continue such endeavor in forthcoming years, much more so globally with the empowering economy, and in the modern-day adage of the virtual or electronic world. I look forward to reminiscing the 21st century.<\/p>\n
