My warmest
greetings to the members of
the Tau Kappa Phi, an exclusive Fratemal Order
of the Far Eastern University, Institute of Law, as
you hold your 52nd Foundation Anniversary on
March, 2000.
Tau Kappa Phi is known as an institution of legal luminaries who have
dedicated their lives in the efficient administration ofjustice in the country. In
the last 52years, it has consistently adhered to the values and principles of
leadership, friendship and service. Being ano-hazing fraternity organizaiion,
it has embraced and transformed these values into concrete programs that
promote academic excellence and extend sociocivic services, making the
organization's
goals all the more laudable and worthy of emulation.
As you induct your new members, I urge you to dedicate
your good
deeds as you have done in the past to the promotion of the welfare of the
majority of our people. May this occasion allow you to share the
joys
and
ideals that the Tau Kappa Phi has firmly stood for.
I send my very best wishes for the Tau Kappa Phi for many more years
of fraternal brotherhood and service.
Mabuhay kayong lahat!

On my own and in behalf of the Institute of Law, I am very pleased to
extend my sincere congratulations to the TAU KAPPA PHI, Exclusive Fra-
ternal Order on the occasion of its 52nd Foundalion Anniversary.
In its more than half a century of existence, the TAU KAPPA PHI has
compiled an admirable record of achievement and accomplishment. In-
deed, many of the best and brightest graduates of this Institute were mem-
bers of this exclusive fraternal order.
As we begin a new millennium, it is my hope that TAU will continue
the noble traditions of its illustrious past. Furthermore, it is my wish that it
will
join
the University Administration, the Dean's office and other law
student organizations in forging a "common voice" that will speak and
work for ihe general welfare of all the students of the Institute of Law.

The Common Voice
-
2000 Ed 7
Fraternity is actually about identity. It has its own birthmark, character, cul-
ture and tradition unique and standing aboveground vis-d-vis other aggrupation. Ide-
als and aspirations, leadership and subservience squabble and rumble, all these are
composites of an admixture known as fraternity.
Fraternity is also unity. Bonded by a common tie, moved by a single spirit and
inter-linked by a chain of established tradition. It is a conspiracy of the century to be
blunt about it. But a great one, though.
Inthe hinterlands, cooking is handy with a blowpipe, a tube for blowing gas to
concentrate and increase the heat. So also is the Tau Kappa Phi, like a blowpipe it
serves as conduit the pipe pressured
by the recent past to focus on and meet the
desired end.
Undoubtedly, our fraternity is a melting pot of various brothers- young and
old, working professionals
and fulltime students, gifted and mediocre and, well off
and well without. The challenge is apparently found on how the Fraternity will hone
and mold each, and each to become a better Tau Kappan. Or better still to homog-
enize their idiosyncrasies. As this goal is not an illusion but merely immanent, the
Fraternity almost obliviously work its purpose to imbue us and make the best of our
skills and faculties. Problem is, we become aware of such fact only after several
years, well after leaving Far Eastern University. But those who did try to recom-
pense in whatever they can as gesture of reciprocity.
An admirable reputation of the Tau Kappa Phi is its uncompromising convic-
tion. Pungent to the eyes of the administration and constant threat to other cheap
conspiracies. A force permeating in every corner of the academe and society, accen-
tuated by countless achievements and accomplishments. Thereby making our rivals
tastes the bitterness of truth.
Fellow brothers, the'52nd year of Tau Kappa Phi serve as many purposes
as
there are brothers. It brings back our past experiences, day-in and day-out, unique or
otherwise, as Tau Kappan. But as the dawn of the new millennium shed its light and
the misty clouds rise up above the ground,
we must be mindful that a long day awaits
us. There are still moturtains to climb, seas to sail and bridges to cross. These are but
few challenges lurking and awaiting us. Some of them will be left undone but they
will not be the important ones. But the indispensable will be climbed, sailed and
crossed.
On this festal occasion, we renew and rekindle our aspirations for our Frater-
nity as well as our fervid allegiance to it. Once again, we, Tau Kappans in common
voice, pray for the long life of Tau Kappa Phi.
GOD BLESS US ALL. Mabuhay ang TAU KAPPA PHI.

TK@ appears to me to be a firm solid block in the
law school that no other organtzationcould ever af-

One man alone cannot do all the tasks that he is
supposed to do; He must be associated with others,
for the creation of the common force. This is the
importance of a fraternity, the Tau Kappa Phi Fra-

Lambertc Bonifacio
I've never seen unity and brotherhood in every sense
of the word until I had the good fortune of working
with the members of the Tau. I can only hope that
this spirit of brotherhood will likewise touch the lives
of others as it touched mine.

Joaquin Mendoza whose name appeared
in the papers as one of the bar passers is
the same Joaquin Mendoza whom they
know to be a poor fellow. Admiration for
him was born in the hearts of the people of
Binangon an, thatwhen he ran for councilor,
under the Kilusang Bagong Lipunan, he
was elected the number one councilor.
Three years later, he ran for the Office of
the Vice-Mayor and was elected. He is
known to be the youngest Vice-Mayor in
the Philippines at that time. He was re-
elected Vice-Mayor for two more terms. It
was on his third term that he became the
acting Mayor, when then Mayor Ynares
ran for the governatorial post. He ran for
the office of Mayor after his term as acting
Mayor but eventually loss due to lack of
financial resources.
In his life as a lawyer, he became
the litigators for different gargantuan com-
panies,
among
which are the Gokongwei
Group of Companies, Cuenca Group of
Companies, Fortune Tobacco, CFC Foods
Corporation and many others.
He is married to Estrellitb Francisco,
a teacher of the Angono National High
School. Out of their marriage were four
children, Filipino, Dakila, Sampaguita and
Paraluman. Filipino is the eldest who is
now a Certified Public Accountant andalso
a brother in the Fraternity, presently in his
first year in the Law school. Sampaguita is
likewise a Certified Public Accountant and
Paraluman is presently taking Medicine at
Far Eastern University.
Brother Joey recalled that when he
entered the Fratermty, it was in the ebb of
dying. It was the supremacy of the other
Fraternity as he said was the reason why
he chooses, together with eight others, his
batchmates, to be a Tau Kappan because
thay want to make the Tau kappa Phi more
supreme over the other i.taternity With the
leadership of then GC. Nap Espiritu, they
were able to rebuilt the brotherhood which
up to this present epoch is still bannering
its supremacy. Some of his batchmates are
now distinguished persons in the society,
among whom are Congressman Bueser and
MayorBarzaga. Brother Joey considers the
initiation rites to be the most memorable
experience that he had while he was in the
law school. Why? Because it is not easy to
pass all these rites. It teaches you to be
brave, courageous, humble and patient.
He does not believe in riches.
Money, as he said, are but decorations of
life. Money is not the essence of life. It is
not the money that you have in your bank
accounts, nor the vastness of the land that
you possess is the symbol of success. He
believes, unlike not a few others, that edu-
cation is still the valuable wealth in the
world. Your money might be gone, your
gold might be robbed or your lands might
perish before you pass away, but the edu-
cation that you have obtained will never
be taken away from you he humbly said.
He is an advocate ofchange. He said
that the present society is very unfair. It is
an undeniable fact that the difference be-
tween the different sfrata in the society is
very distant. A change of this unfairness
is, if not rmpossible, not easy to bridge.
He suggested that in order that change'may
take
place, our leaders should be the mod-
els. There should be a leadership by ex-
ample, he intelligently
commented.
At present, he is the General
Man-
ager of the Laguna Lake Development
Authority.
He is the 13th manager,
like
President Estrada, who is his close friend,
the 13th President of the Philippines.
The
LLDA is an administrative
body whose
existence
is now at35
years. It is only for
the first time that a lawyer, like Bro. Atty
Joaquin Mendoza,
became the General
Manager,
this resulted in a different lead-
ership, wllch the former managers
had not
done. In hrs incumbency,
he managed to
close 52 companies who were discharging
foul odor and toxins and hazardous
sub-
stances to the detriment
of the Lagtna
Lake. Despite the nobility of his pu{pose,
he receives threats to his life, perhaps from
those
people adversely affected due to the
closure of the erring companies.
As aman'
he is not afraid of those thre.ats. He even
challenged them to
just
kill him anyway,
he said, he does not have any bodyguard.
It was on his term that the Laguna Lake
obtained a level
"C" Qategory which means
it is adaptable to fishrng and perhaps a
source of potable water for drinking, and
he want this to be marntained.
The LLDA,
he said, is very powerful. It has enough
power and what is lacking drning the in-
cumbency of the past general managers is
lack of enforcement
maybe because they
are not lawyers. Several distinguished
magaztnes
gave pratses to Brother Joey for
he resurrected the dying Lagrrna Lake.
Life is short, as he told, and at least
in this very short span of time he could
make a\egacy that will always be remem-
bered in the footprints of the sands of time.

GENILO'S SILVER HAMMER
As said, you must work under diffi-
culties, for they are the one, which can aid
you. Countless men for the nth time
reached their goal because of this attitude.
In a world of meritocracy, one must work
hard and must prove that he deserves more
than that which he has.
At the height of the Japanese Occu-
pation, a future servant by the name of Tito
Genilo was born in Navan Oriental
Mindoro. Inspired by the rmpnnt Legacy
ofhis father, aretired Regional Trial Court
magistrate, Tito was destinedto followthe
footsteps his father left him. His early edu-
cational honing was with his native birth-
place.
In 1958, Tito enrolled in the Uni-
versity of Santo Tomas and four years
thereafter, he finished with a degree in
Bachelor of Science in Commerce. It was
only three years after when Tito felt the
tnge ofthe blood in his veins to choose the
path his father had once chosen. It was
Grand Chancellor Aznar D. Lindayag's
leadership when Tito enrolled in Far East-
ern University to have his law degree. ln
his four years of being law student and a
Tau Kappan, Bro Tito experienced what it
takes to be with this prestigious Fraternity.
In 1969, he finished his law degree
and passed the 1970 Bar Examinations. At present, Bro. Tito is one of the
Adept of the law and guided by the prin- exalted pillars of the Fraternity occupying
ciples of Tau Kappa Phi, Tito sets out his high career position in the government.

and Associates but only for eight months. tion as a person, but as a Tau Kappan.
After, being alegal officer, Tito acted as
Court Prosecutor in the Court oflndustrial
Relations. His inch-by-inch rise in the La-
bor Department, hence, has begun. In the
span of two years, Tito was promoted
to
Labor Arbiter. For twelve (12) years, Tito
meddled and settled labor unrest and
helped in the economic and industrial sta-
bility of the country.
In I 987, after the EDSA Revolution,
he worked with then Secretary Franklin
Drilon of the DOLE as Technical Assis-
tant. In 7990"he became Technical Assis-
tantto SecretaryRuben Torres (DOLE) and
concurrently detailed as Technical Assis-
tant to Sec. Franklin Drilon of the Depart-
ment of Justice. A big break in his career
took place on August 17, L992 when Tito
was appointed Deputy Administrator of the
Philippine overseas Employment Admin-
istration. For three (3) years however, he
was detailed as Technical Assistant to two
secretaries of DOLE only to reassume his
position as Deputy Adminisfator of POEA
on 1996. FinallSr, June 15th of 1998 was
not only a glorious

Brotherhood The Possible Dream
Tn
a musical quite popular in the United
IStut.r,
"Man of La Mancha," based on
the sixteenth century work, Don
Quixote
by Cervantes, the hero sings of his quest
to right the wrongs of the world. His aim,
he says, is "to bear the unbearable
sorrow...to run where the brave dare not
go...to love, pure and chaste, from
afar . .. to try when your arms are too weary,
to reach the unreachable star. . . " The quest
is summed up in the final words of the
song: "to dream the impossible dream."
As the worldrushes toward greater
violence, revolution, and near-destruction,
it might seem that the Theosophist is in-
dulging in an impossible dream when he
dedicates himself to the realization of a
world united in peace.
It is true that we, as individuals or
even as a collective group, cannot resolve
all the world's ills. As individuals, we
seem powerless to bring peace to college
campuses, to restore order in orn cities, to
fransform the ghettos, to eradicate poverty,
to provide education for every child, to
raise the standard of living everywhere in
the world.
However, if brotherhood is to be
realized effectively and if it is a dream
worth attaining, then we must begin by
ceasing our wishful projections and focus-
ing on rvhat is possible of achievement.
And what is possible begins with our-
selves, not with someone else. Brother-
hood will always remain impossible if we
rrsist onbeginning outside ourselves, ifwe
insist on changing everyone else, if we rn-
sist that all that is wrong in the world is the
fault of others. The possibilrty of brother-
hood is the present possibility of brother-
hood of each individual baing brotherly.
The achievement ofbrotherhood lies within
us, not outside us: itoccmswhen ourwhole
attitude, our entire way of life, our com-
plete being, is attuned to that mode of
thought and action which is wholly harno-
nious and which participates, therefore, in
the very essence of brotherhood. How-
ever difficult it may be, this is where we
must begin, where we can b.gnt; this is
ultimately the only way in which the im-
possible dre3m becomes the possible real-
ity of our lives.
What we need is the kind of cour-
age that is a willingness to act at every
moment in accordance with that which is
our deepest nature, with our true being-
the kind of courage which, for the person
who possesses it, is no courage atallbut a
mode of response which arises Spontane-
ously, naturally, beautifully, out of a heart
that is deeply atfuned to the cry of life.
How can we make brotherhood
practical, immediate, possible? That is the
question. To answer it, it may be usefirl to
come to some understanding ofwhat broth-
erhood means.
The word brother implies a relation-
ship, a specific relationship.
In a similar manner, when the term
"brotherhood" is used, we assume that a
certain relationship is implied, a relation-
ship based on the existence of a common
18 (TK(D) The Common Voice
-
2000 Edition
source. This of course is the first
postulate of the Theosophical philosophy:
that all life arises from a single unitary
source. Because of this, there is related-
ness throughout the universe. The conse-
quences of that relationship as they apply
to the concept of brotherhood are ex-
tremely interesting.
Oneness. What it comes to, then,
is that the fundamental realities of Nature
are not, as thought construes them, sepa-
rate things. The world is not a collection
of objects assembled or added together so
as to come into
a
relationship.
Science is demonstrating that Na-
ture is,.through and through, relational in-
terference at any,6n pointhas interminable
and unforeseeable effects. Modern phys-
ics has abandoned the concept of remote
particles andi indMdual entities isolated
and separate{ in their own empty spaces.
Today,iphysical thought views the
entire cosmos as a field in which forces
manifest and interact; the wave character-
istic of the most limits of space. The poet,
Francis Thompson, gave magnificent ex-
pression to this when he wrote.
All things by immortal power, near
or far, hiddenly to each other linked are;
Thou canst not stir a flower without the
troubling of a star.
This vastness and impersonality of
the universe might appall us, but it really
has a direct bearing on the possibility of
achieving brotherhood here and'now.
Inner Harmony. Ourfirst step lies
in a recognition that whatever is wrong
outside is within ourselves, and if we can
learn to deal with ornselves effectively, we
shall move in a co-ordinated way in that
perfect relationship which is brotherhood.
This demands first of all a complete
acceptance of all the elements within our-
selves, an acceptance of things as they are-
not a mere contentment that they should
be so, but a frark and unemotional admis-
sion that they are so. But generally, we
prefer to move away from what is to what
we would like things to be. There is a ten-
dency of movement, which exists at aII,
levels, a tendency to escape through pro-
jection
or fantasy, and this tendency cre-
ates in us an element of resistance.
Resistance. We needto understand
the nature of resistance, which seems to
be a characteristic feature of all our rela-
tionships. Resistance presupposes an ele-
ment of disturbance. We resist when we
are disturbed emotionally or mentally.
When the outer and inner conditions of life
are in harmonythere is no disturbance, and
consequently no resistance.
Now resistanoe may be conscious
or it may be unconscious. It may be very
obvious or it may be so subtle that it is
hard for us even to recognize it. Often, in
small and insignificant things we are not
even conscious ofthis factor ofresistance.
But resistance inevitably means a conflict
of interests between the world within and
the world without. When we meet some-
one for the frst time we try to size him up,
to appraise him, and our defenses against
all his differences are rdady. But we can-
not understand a thing or a person if we
are always resisting. We even resist by
(TKO) The Common Voice
-
2000 Edition
T9
tqyingto conceal ourselves from ourselves.
Anticipation, too, is a subtle form
of resistance. We anticipate that our
friends will behave'in a particular manner
and this becomes a defense mechanism
against their behaving in any other way.
If anyone falls short of the standard we
have set, we immediatelyresist. If a close
friend fails to meet the standard, ourresis-
tance becomes all the more intense. We
meet someone we have never met before,
and out come the measuring tape. If he
falls short in any way, if he seems too dif-
ferent or his ideas are unlike ours, we shut
him out, we resist him. So our psycho-
logical nature moves in this very subtle
manner, and we are likely to miss many
factors of resistance in our own lives, al-
though we may be unconsciously feeling
their effects through dissatisfaction and
.frustration.
Where there is resistance there can-
not be understanding. To understand
something or someone it is necessary to
observe the thing or person, to be totally
present in the moment. This is the pos-
sible dream: to be totally present where
you are and to observe, not to resist.
Acceptance. The answer to resis-
tance, therefore, is acceptance-accep-
tance of the totality of a person, a thing,
and an idea, whatever it may be. We have
a clue to this attitude of inner acceptance,
which is non-resistance, if we compare it
to the experience ofweightlessness, which
occurs whenever a space vehicle goes into
orbit. What is weightlessness? We are
told that it is neither a neutralization of
gravity nor an escape beyond its reach. It
is a gravity's force, of falling freel5r, with
no resistance to its earthboundpull. Grav-
ity is not abolished when a satellite goes
into orbit; its continually operating force
is completely unresisted. As soon as the
force is resisted, as soon as the brakes are
put on, as it were, weight returns, and the
satellite re-enters the earth's atmosphere.
By analogy, when we follow the law
oflife, never resisting atany point, we may
achieve an innerweightlessness, which is
true acceptance. We may put ourselves
into the orbit of brotherhood by a spiritual
weightlessness that is present
at every
moment.
Inner Vision, Patient Labor. The
inner vision of unity is not the grft of drama
and ecstasy; it is the hard-won ftuit of pa-
tient labor, and its ultimaterealization lies
in the attainment of that orbit of our being
in which perfect weightlessness is
achieved. We do not resist at any point.
We are totally present wherever we tre
with whoever we may be. There is no
longerthe burden of selfwith its many dif-
ferences, but onlythe reality of Self, which
is the uruty of all. This is the true human
task of spiritual self-realization, of ceas-
ing to identifir ourselves with our personal
cravings and anxieties, learning to act from
that immortal spiritual center within which
is equally the spiritual Self in all men.
It may be suggested that man's su-
preme significance inthe universe is to act
as a unifuing agent. We will achieve this
most effectively by first achieving, unity
within ourselves, leading to unity with all

others,
with God and with Nature'
In-
wardly
unified and harmonized,
we may
live freely and spontaneously
from that
spiritual
center as an impersonal
transmit-
ter of the DMne Life, accepting
without
resistance
and
glving without
reserve' Our
influence
will be on the side of that
power
whrch
makes for righteousness;
we shall
be contributing
to the ultimate
reahzation
of what today appears
an impossible
dream-universal
brotherhood-because
we will have known the
possible dream of
brotherhood
where we are and as we are'
in the here and now of our daily existence'
Not in the withdrawal
from life and activ-
ity, but in the midst of our daily affairs we
may discover
the way of unity'
It is a way
of walking
and a way of talking,
a way of
acting at every single moment'
The way of unity is realized
in how
we
greet each other, how we smile, how
we express our concern for each other-a
concern that arises because. we care for
each other. This is the possible dream of
brotherhood,
for it begrns with the possi-
bility that each of us may establish that
harmonious
relationship
which is brother-
hood and which arises naturally out of the
recognition
that we are all rooted in the
same Immortal Source. When this pos-
sible dream is realized by each one of us,
what now seems the impossible dream of
world brotherhood
will surely be realized
in all its splendor and beauty. There is no
other
place to begin but where we stand,
there is not other time to begrn than now;
there is no one else to begin but we who
have cherished
the dream.

BAR OPEIL{TIONS '99
"Hell in September" a lot of bar
examinees described the last bar
examination held last year. The particular
month spawned fears among the bar
examinees- fears that started in the early
months of June, July, and August. No
wonder, for the examination is the ultimate
test whether you are fit to become a lawyer
or not. If the examination in law school is
the battle for us law students, the bar
examination is the war among the law
graduates. That is why our resident
brothers gave their support without second
thoughts during the period of examination
including the month of preparation for the
same, what can I say, thatis TauKappan's
brotherhood, no less.
The four successive Sundays of
September greatly exhausted the
examinees.
"Buti
na lang nandiyon ang
aking mga brods, kundi walang mog-
aasikaso sa okin,
" quipped one of our
barristers. To our brothers,'preparing
meals, snacks and coffee to orn barristers
did not in anyway exhaust them. Thinking
that what they were doing was somewhat
a legacy to our barristers enough to keep
them fresh and going.
More than a hrurdred of our alumni
brods went to Taft in front of De La Satle
to give support to our barristers. One of
them was Judge Alegre, one of the
founders of the fraternity, and a retired
judge,
together with his family who stayed
until late in the afternoon to give support
to our fraternity.
Alegre's family was amazed, or
how our brotherhood worked towardr
helping the barristers in their undertaking
They did not expect that the barristerr
would be treated like kings during tht
examination.
The first and the lpst Sunday war
the most vibrant of all Sundays. At fivr
o'clock in the morning we disengage(
from GSIS Condotel and proceeded
to De
La Salle Taft where the yearly
bar
examination is conducted since 90's
Patting of backs, shaking ofhands, sharin6
of anecdotes, and
jokes
was more frequenr
during the transit. And of course, there
were the chanting. Bro. Korch, my
batchmate, the barker, growled every no\
andthen shouting good luck statements tc
orn baristers while entering the gate ol
the De La Salle. The barking continued in
the recess and until late afternoon to the
delight of the commuters and passersby
who were held captive by the streamers
fluttering wildly announcing support to the
broods.
Bar Operations '99 was differenl
from the previous year. First, the number
of alumni broods who gave support this
'99
nearly doubled, the bottled spirit that
loaded the stomach nearly tripled.
The bar operations '99
was really
a sign that brotherhood is up-an-about and
kicking. A brotherhood everyone could
treasure and remember in ones lifetime.

OF THREE
FACES
By Bro. Oliver Garcia
From the time of its incePtion
rn
the Far Eastern University,
as a fraternity
designed to promote the interests of the
Coimon
Tao,the Tau KaPPa Phi has
been constantly
gulaea by its traditions'
Traditions thai were laid down by its
fourteen
founding members whose
obsession
were to withstand
the
existence
and recognition
of those
belonging
to the elite class. Today, this
remarkable
event was never
put to rest
nor in vain, though
perhaps somehow
been suppressed
in the early seventies,
when most otganizations
have been
orevented bv thi dictatorshiP.
'
Resident brothers and alumni as
well, emulated by their undyr"g idealism
for the fraternity, have been constantly
building up the fraternal bond.
The
Alumni m-embers
in pursuit of their
recognition,
as a conglomeration
of Tau
Kapfans,
even outside the portals ofthe
academe tried to find ways for the sulme.
To this end, several attempts have been
made to cause its registration.
Armed with agitation insPired bY
total devotion to the fratemal ideologies,
GC. Sinsuat initiated the creation of the
Alumni Foundation,
where the interests
of the Tau's alumni brothers
may well
be consolidated
and coordinated.
Their
avowed
mission was to facilitate easy
helping-hand
for the resident brothers by
prdviding some
-resources
for the
accomplis-hment
of its mission.
This
Alumni Foundation
was about to be
registered
so that it may haye a
juridical
peisonality, but the sztme has not been
iulfilled
-for
reasons beyond their
personal reproach.
In the earlY nineties anotht
attempt was made. This time the eve
geneious and unselfish Gran
ehancellors
like GC. Nap Espiritu, G(
Dondon Tenorio, GC. SammY Divin
and backed up by a numerous alum
brothers, expressed their sentiment ar
feltneeds to revive the Foundation' Th
scenario
have insPired the reside:
brothers on their
perception that the
moves would expedite the support th
they sought to elicit especially when b
operations
and the holding of the g
together
parf is atvest. On one-way
another this ingenious attempt have ber
subserved because the attention of tl
elected and apPointed
leaders we
called for by their professional callin6
LastAugust 1999; the fraternit5
existence was once agalnput to test. T
bar operati ons, where law orgonizatio

barristers, was nearlY one-month

prepared for the extension of t

suPPort it serves to
barristers.
The resident members alc
cannot overcome these obstacles withr
soliciting the assistance of the alun
memberi. Succinctly, they again soul
the kind andwholehearted
support of
alumni, who unselfishlY extended

sirme and without hesitation foster th
very
presence at the bar site.

brothers over the alumni, i.e., that they
only nied to visit them when expenses is
nearing. And to ovcrcome this problem
,some
alumni have lodged proposals
to
create a communication center, which
they suggest will serve as the point of
information regarding the activities of
the fraternity.
In the course of the deliberation
regarding this proposed communication
center, the issue of solidi$ing the
alumni's course of action through the
medium of a Foundation was once again
raised. At this point the alumni
members present during the deliberation
resolved to re-organize the Foundation
and discussed the proposed
communication project. As a humble
begrnning the oldies but heartthrob, like
Bro. Guillermo Guce and Bro. Atty.
Jhoey Mendoza shouldered the
expenses.
The resident brothers tluough the
representation
of your humble servant,
manifests proposal that the Foundation
that will be created and soon be
registered be not only an Alumni
Foundation, but rather a Foundation in
which the resident members have proper
representation. This manifestations were
raised on the final analysis that the
failures of previous attempts for its
registration
and well-functioned
activities was brought about by absence
of legwork and liasoning activities
which can be under0aken by the resident
members without further adieu to their
important callings. And in order to
eliminate divisiveness bstween and
among members without regard as to
whether or not he is an alumni.
This manifestation was not set at
naught but was taken by the alumni
brothers with astounding conformity.
ALAS.... The Foundation was
created.
This time, this remarkable event
in TAU's history was magnified by a
brod" who despite his failure to finish his
law school, has never forgotten to give
assistance to the fratemity. Bro.
Guillermo Guce, who calls himself
"Attorney
Second Year", initiated this
advent that caused the final regisfiation
of the Foundation.
The TAU KAPPA PHI
FOUNDATION (FEU-LAW)
rNC.
was now duly registered as of January
21, 2000 before the Securities and
Exchange Cornmission. The brethren
has chosen the following fifteen brothers
as the incorporators: Guillermo Guce,
RDO of Marikina and a Batangueno (I
don't know if he is also Babaero), Atty.
Emesto De Vota, Chief of BIR Tax-
Fraud Division and a CPA-Lawyer,
Commissioner Tito Genilo, NLRC,
Fiscal Benedicto Tabaquero, Assistant
Prosecutor of Paranaque, Judge Manuel
Padolina, Pasay-RTC, Atty. Virgilio
Alcantara, the living legend, Atty. Ruel
Canobas, GC. Atty. Reynaldo Tadiar,
Atty. Jhoey Mendoza, Gen. Manager of
LLDA, Atty. Satumino Abes, of EIIB,
Atty. Felix Azanza, Atty. Romulo Del
Mundo, Department of Finance, Atty.
Rogelio Casiguran,. also of Dept. of
Finance, Atty. Florante Driz, and GC.
Dortdon Tenorio.
The finally conferred Foundation
resolved to have twenty-one Board of
Trustees. To this end, the brethren has
decided to elect the fifteen inoorporators
and added another six trustees three of
whom were chosen from among the
alumni and three from the residents.
This outstanding project
of the
Tau Fraternity, envisioned of forestalling
wings through the requisite juridical
personality,
is for the benefit of the body
agErrn
at large. But this outcome should ndver
remised that the Foundation, is a
separate entity from that ofthe Fraternity
thougb both of them served the purpose
of camaraderie and brotherhood. To
hold otherwise will cause ow
abandonment of the immortal date of the
fraternity's creation in 1948. The
creation'of the foundation was to serve
the purpose of the fraternity when
juridical penonality is necessarily called
for since its existence, in points of law,
may still be questioned in so far as locus
standing is concern.
Towards this end, the collective
action of the Tau, remarkable and a
history, should never fail only because
different percepion as to its very
existence is at tifloe.
Memoirs of the past will never
forget the time of our known leaders
(our Grand Chancellors), who devoted
their time so much that they even sway
priorities of work, study, and family.
Their undying leadership is a HISTORY.
For this known reasons, alumni brothers
have decided to recognizod and pay
respect to the existence of the Grand
Chancellor's League, who exist for the
purpose of eliciting proper remedies
when the incunbent Grand Chancellor
and the fratemity called for its
convention.
Given this colossal existence of
three personality within the fraternity
may somewhat create a chaotic scenario
if the same will not be properly defined
today or in the near future. Actually,
there is no conflicting existence on these
three personalities. Firsf, The Fraternity
is the foundation; the Foundation is the
Legal wing of tlre fraternity, and the
Grand Chancellor League is the advisory
body in proper cases. Second, the
fraternity was created in pursuit of the
avowed mission of having brotherhood
(TKO) The Common Voice
-
2000 Edition
and solidarity; the Foundation was
created for the purpose of extending
support to the fraternity when
opportunity called as zuch; the Grand
Chancellor's kague was likewise
created for support services to the
fraternity. Thus the interest of the
Foundation and the GC League is
subservient to the interest of the
fraternity, which is the primordial
reasons of their mighty creation.
To put all things in harmony, the
Tau
{fuppa as a whole will never think
of divisiveness by reason of these
instances. They will still be proud to be
called members of the TAU KAPPA
PHI FRATERNITY.
F.L.A.S.H
BAR RESULT !!!!
The result of the recent Bar
Examination held last September 1999,
which most legal luminaries consideq as
the lowest passing rate of the decade,
will still be a
joyous
event to the Tau
Fraternity. Inspite of the 16.59 %
passing rate, three of our brothers
managed to hurdled the rigors of the said
examination.
Bros. Raul Ancheta, NBI,
Avelino Decoroso Basco, the tau bet of
the year and consistent Dean's Lister,
and Arvin Suller, who is also a Dean's
Lister, managed to bring home the tip of
the iceberg.
Bro. Raul Ancheta who
undergone surgical operation during"the
second Sunday examination still pick the
gold of becoming a lawyer. Bros. Ross
Basco and Arvin Suller was already
marked by the fraternity to be able to
surpass the examination.

ESCOBEDO WON THE POLLS: A Diary Entry
By: Bro. Gil Galolo
It has been for fifth consecutive
years the the Alliance for Concerned Law
Students (ACLAS) triumphs at the student
polls, and it is for the same period that the
TAU KAPPA PHI proved its unopposed
dominance in the Institute of Law.
At about eight o' clock in the
evening, March I,2000,the TAU KAPPA
PHI HYI\4N echoed throughout the Law
and Nwsrng Building, a sign that the result
of the polls was the concluded and surely
the candidate for President in the student
council and other candidates of the
ACLAS parry won. Our class in Business
Organization under Atty. Cyril Ramos,
was disturbed by the glorious tune of the
Tau Kappa Phi Hyrnn, so he (AtrV Ramos)
decided to dismiss the class. We were so
happy for there willbe no more recitations.
Immediately after the class was
dismissed
,
the student cunously stared at
the board trying to look at the result of the
election, The Result: Alexis Escobedo
won by a convincing sixteen votes. The
brothers in the Tau Kappa Phi and the
members of the Portia Sorrority
jointly
shared the
joys
of the victory. The victory
that is the fruit of sleepless nights for the
the preparation of the
ProPaganda
materials and the fatigue occasioned by
the campaign.
Traditionally, the victory party was he
at Alby's fastfood formerly AB S Cantee
Cormtless beer scattered anywhere, shol
everywhere and thought the place was v
disorderly, it did not hinder the celebrati
to the peak of success. Three hours
drinking spree made theknees ofthe bro
very weak as if they climbed selr
mourtains. Some immediately went hon
but some are not satisfied by tl
intoxication brought by the drinking rn t
celebration that they look for anoth
venue. As for me, I am so drunk that fu
so I went home immediately. At 12:,
A.M., I arrived at home and was not al
to eat my supper. The wine of Alex
victory deprived me of my supper.
Next year wil be another year. Will t
