        If the Chicago Bulls have a Michael Jordan and a Tony Kukoc, the seniors too have their own basketball greats – to mention a couple Ryan Bacaro and Paolo Gaviola. They leave their sweaty basketball jockeys to Serven Bebanco and Deogracias Durado.

        This girl doesn’t usually speak, but when she does, the words come out swift and fluent. English is like her native tongue, and with her high-pitched tone, she could pass as Uncle Sam’s niece. She is the chub-chub Ivy Kristine Chong. She passes her tone and tongue to Cherylynn Cano.

        MacGyver on television constantly wows us with his excellent mechanical skills and his technical knowledge. But ladies and gentlemen, we have something even better – we have the real things! From Wisdom, we have Mark Ybañez, and from Loyalty, Michael Nilo Yap and Erbert De Vera. They leave the next episodes of MacGyver to Nicolael Soriano.

        The Crush, Clueless, Batman and Robin and Excess Baggage – they’re just some of the movies of the luscious Alicia Silverstone. And she is here with us in the person of Janice Ligutom. She leaves her next starring role to Sheryll Elumbaring.

        When boredom strikes during class hours, everyone tries to keep himself or herself from falling asleep, with one notable exception. Proving that his prowess goes beyond the basketball court, Lemuel Gallo – our expert in the art of sleeping leaves his sleeping pillows to Ryland Naboya and his MVP Trophy to Ziganoel Lao.

        With a most vivid imagination, this person can manipulate English like no one else. Her reading habits have led her to acquire the amazing ability to build castles in the air that allows her to space out sometimes – and she, Rachel Limtong passes on this talent to Raynan Lanogan.

        If "A picture is worth a thousand words", then the most talkative among the seniors would be Kenneth Lim and Ritche Gimena. However their generosity in sharing their talents with the pen and paper makes them even better than Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci. They leave the finishing touches to Nerio Chu, Jeelord Chua and Raymond Panganiban.

        Modern-day ladies have the capability to be liberated and be in control but could still be feminine. In other words, Girl Power. That’s what we see in our ladies of the year, Kimberly Po and Sheila Po. Their femininity is passed on to Michelle Yu, Marie Christine Yu and Kristine Joy Ang.

        She is filled with charms and grace when cool but beware: bombs explode, fireworks light up the sky, and all hell breaks loose when you get her angry. She is no other than Genevieve Dy. Her hot and cold mood swings are left this time to Janette Busa and Billie Joy Uy.

        Nothing is sweeter than candy and kisses – except the sweet syrup and cream-covered nature of Michelle Po. But she is even more sugary this time as she passes on her honeyed sweetness to Julie Rose Acogido.

        His smart approach to life makes him the mature big brother. He could pass as a pastor with his decent looks and practicality. Ephraim Ballo-allo leaves his legacy to Jimmy Noelle Rodella.

        She can dress up in the most sassiest styles possible and if there is anyone who takes more care of her looks than our own Rosibelle Sarmiento, she would be having facial surgery. Rosibelle’s ability to beautify is passed on to another lover of beauty – Bruce Vasquez.

        The baby is now a lady? That is the question, because though smart yet ladylike, she still has to grow up. Pretty and petite, she will always be our baby girl – the one and only Kylene Wee, who leaves her prudent, pretty and petite looks to Jazz Avila and Geornamel Lui.

        The Medieval Times is a period of knighthood, an age of chivalry when knights battled dragons, rescued fair maidens and fought for their honor. The Medieval times are still alive today, thanks to our knights in shining armor, Weimon Famat and Peejay Juan. They pass on their armor to Jason Tiu, Kirby Tadlas, Rhandie Carta and Rodolfo Aneslagon.

        PCGS is alive with the sound of music sung by the songbirds – Nancy Tabhan, Cindy Ong and Katrina Huang. They leave their melodic and harmonic voices to Dianne Besabella, Antoinette Sio and Evelyn Phua.

        The Backstreet Boys disappeared for a while after releasing their first album, but then returned with Backstreet’s Back. They brought with them even more dancers with steps never seen before. Our own Aldwin Peque and Marc Tiu leave their Backstreet and Puff Daddy steps to Rondey Rodriguez and Godffrey Go.

        The PCGS diva, otherwise known as the girl with the golden voice Camille Casumpang bequeaths her 24-karat vocal cords to Emmanuelle Phua.

        The big boy in class is everything but the big bully. He is instead the witty, cheerful teddy bear Kim Te, who passes on his funny wisecracks and one-liners to Gil Hilayo.

        The seniors’ baby boy – he’s small, cute, and shy. Correction – very small, very cute, very shy and he’s everyone’s favorite. Wilbert Velasco leaves his baby face to John William Yeh.

        Back in the romantic days, knights set out in quests to rescue damsels in distress. If we have our knights in shining armor around, then our damsels in distress can’t be far. They are the traditional, innocent and well-loved ladies May Ann Lim and Jenny Discaya, who pass on their distress calls to Jaclyn Limtin and Gaily Grace Uy.

        Abigail Burca and Lyndy Leigh Uy possess the quiet humor of angels, the wits of geniuses, and also the silence of lambs. They pass it on to Laurice Yutico.

        Well-versed in literature, a master of grammar, but mute? A confusing combination – she isn’t actually muted, just extremely demure. This best describes Monique Yiu who pass on her skills to Ketti Chua and Jovelyn Yu.

        Tall, dark, and handsome – that would be the perfect description of a Pinoy hunk. But what if he’s Chinese? Let’s see, he should still be tall and handsome, but white with that lean face, long straight black hair, and don’t forget those cute little eyes that vanish when he laughs. A perfect example would be Dennis Lee who leaves his Mr. China Looks to Arlington Ong.

        During the class hours, Eleanor Uy and Edlyn Uy exercise their right to be silent. But beyond the four walls of the classroom, nobody knows. It’s for them to know and you to find out. That right is now passed on to Phoebe Mancao and Betty Baguio.

        Few people appreciate the art of writing – the beauty of how something is written. Except of course during art projects. Our all-time lettering genius, Frederick Mocoy leaves his right hand talent to Amethyst Changco.

        The class of Wisdom is a eclectic whorl of Technicolor. But one color and one girl stand out from the rest with her persistence and diligence. Sheryl Lim, pretty in pink, leaves her standout style to Shaila Abellanosa.

        Walking on tiptoe, and with his stomach ahead, he could be the only military general who walks and dresses like a senator. He’s nobody else but Almino Malaza III and he leaves behind his fancy gait to Jeaferson Sanchez.

        If Vogue, Seventeen, or Glamour were to look for a new cover girl in PCGS, one girl from the seniors would grab the spot hands-down. She is none other than the tantalizing Laarni Espina, who passes on her cover girl looks to next-in-line Tanya Fe Loise Ty.

        The most expensive, most rare, and most beautiful doll of all is the China doll. And we have them here – two of them actually. Life-sized, alive, and in person. Our very own Leelyn Yap and Michelle Amanda Lim, who pass on their rare Chinese beauty to Annie Pascual.

        This girl can not just play, but play very well. She is Olympic material – one with asthma. How could that be? Well, will wonders never cease? Khristina Chiongliu passes on her fire on the courts to Kathleen Chavez.

        Will Smith as Mike Laury, Robin Padilla, and Gabe Villaflor – what do they have in common? Well, they’re all bad boys – at least they used to be. Will Smith is now a member of the MIB, Robin Padilla has been to prison, and Gabe is now tamed. Or shall we say…behaved. But still he passes on the bad boys’ heritage to Fernando Estavilla.

        "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder". Ladies and gentlemen let us behold a couple of the Fourth Year beauties – Analou Dy and Jennifer Po. With bodies to die for and looks that kill, they pass on their lethal beauty secrets to Jenifer Rodriguez.

        As our Math teacher Mr. Bacalso would have put it, this boy is in love…with numbers that is. Because he excels in math, Daniel Jared Yap, our Mr. Jonah Bacalso Junior, passes on his title to another title-holder, Math King Andrew Luy.

        Kung Tagalog lang ang pag-uusapan, wala nang dadaig pa sa aming Charisma Go at Lailah Dy. Kaya lahat pati ang malalambing nilang mga tono ng pananalita ay kanilang iniiwan para kay Jomelda Anne Abel.

        He may look cold, cool, and quite outside, but he is hot in the courts. He may be subtle and silent elsewhere, but he dominates in the volleyball court. Arnel Yongco, our volleyball MVP leaves his torn kneepads to Wendell Allosada.

        No one can best or even compare to the way Roselle Jane Gatcho grooves. She’s got moves we haven’t even seen before. Her unbeatable style, incomparable moves and irresistible charm is left in the loving care of the one and only Paola Patalinghug.

        Table Tennis is in his blood – it runs through his veins. It’s even a legacy in his family. He is the one and only Alexies Agriam. And he leaves his racquet in the core of Ariel Montesa.

        "More than words" could not apply to these ladies about to be mentioned. They can talk nonstop. The Queens of Talk, Zenaida Gomez and Liezl Torres pass on their scepters of immortal words to Faith Go and Lean Michael Hilongo.

        The deep resounding masculine voice is not common among most males today. So we are very blessed to experience the soothing baritone of Joel Chan, which he passes on to Williamson Po.

        Tangkilikin ang Musikang Pilipino. And who could do that more than our favorite Edalyn Keh? She passes on her love for the OPMs to Wilma Po.

        "White hair is the crown of wisdom and experience." Now, white hair is not always a sign of old age – the evidence would be Paul Giovanni Diu, who has lots of it. He may be our granddaddy but passes on his crown to Thomas Yiu.

        The early bird catches the worm. However in this case, the early bird goes home early. Most noted for being prompt – in going home, is our Melah Jayne Labuca. And she passes on her version of the early bird routine to Elvie Marie Limtin.

        HOT! HOT! In other words: mainit. This time, let’s say Mainit ang ulo. That would be a description of our hot hunk Timothy Lee – he has a temper but now he also has a cooling technique. What could that be? Sorry, that’s for him to know and to pass on to Roderick Sia and Marvin Tiu.

        Yes, this girl may look common, but there’s nothing plain about this young lady with the girl-next-door looks. She is Janette Lee, and she has that something that makes you take a second glance at her. She leaves this mystery to Janet Chiongliu.

        If anyone can do magic with a make-up kit – and draw a perfect eyebrow, it would be Dhoria Lim. Not only equipped with brains, she can also paint – faces that is. Now, she leaves her make-up kit to Louella Lei Limbaco and Deborah Anne Tiu.

        Joining the ranks of 112, 98 Degrees, Boyzone, Code Red, 911 – to name a few boy bands, are our home grown talents Jehmel Go, Ian Lim, and Rennan Lui. They lay down their stepping stones to their soon-to-be hit songs for Corregidor Catane and Carlo Cusi.

        Chess is a battle of strategy, technique, and brains. And who could be better than our all-time geniuses Stevenson Yu and Athena Catedral?  They pass on their king and queen to the next great chess masters – Christian Tan and Stella Mae Alvarez

        We don’t hear from them often, but are they really that quiet? They don’t often speak up, especially in the classroom. But they can actually blend with the wall in their silence. Could they be the still waters that run deep? Well, Blas Go and Wilford Po leave those questions to Rellington Yu, Sean Uy, Dunstan Chan and Nelson Ngo.

        Cute is defined as small and ugly. But pa-cute in our sense is now defined as trying to look adorable and attractive. Succeeding to do so with his very adorable face is Herbert Ronald Kwan who leaves the secrets of his success to John Clement Po and Eddie Gokiangkee.

        Left-handed individuals have always been known for some specific talent. And among the fourth years, Donwill Loyd Lim has been chosen to represent the senior left-handed population as he pass on his skills to the junior left-handed population represented by Joseph Paul Lao.

        A dangerous and sometimes lethal combination of beauty and brains are mixed together in the very lean frame of your friend and mine – Rachel Bono.   But since there isn’t much of her to go around, she can only leave her beauty and brains to Sheila Dona Teyu.

        He can sing, act, dance, direct and decorate – who is he? Yes, his artistic abilities definitely stand out. But he’s more than that. And that more in him makes us just love him. However, the great Romel Pareja is keeping that more as it is too much to handle for anyone else. His multi-artistic talents go to Christian Vidal.
