The Shoelanders’ Alumni Ad Hoc committee invites all graduates of the Marikina High School (MHS), Leodegario Victorino Memorial High School (LVMHS), Marikina School of Arts and Trade (MSAT), Marikina Institute of Science and Technology (MIST), and Marikina Science High School (MariSci), collectively known as “The Shoelanders” to the first-ever Shoelanders Grand Alumni Homecoming on Saturday, November 18, 2023 at the Marikina Sports Center.

Carrying the theme, “Shoelanders Unite: Baliktanaw at Pagpupugay sa Paaralang Mahal,” this homecoming event will bring together more than 70 batch years that includes its first graduates in 1950 up to the present 2023 batch. Considered a historic gathering of topnotch graduates from an illustrious secondary school in Marikina, it is truly a once-in-a-lifetime event one should not miss. This premiere alumni homecoming also sets to give awards and recognition to outstanding achievements of alumni in different categories as one of its highlights.

Reunion For A Common Cause
Through a Ceremonial Signing of “The Shoelanders Alumni Commitment Board”, this homecoming will also seal and make official the solid stand & unwavering support of the entire alumni membership across all batch years to all legislative initiatives and efforts or any activities all in the effort of preserving and restoring the persona and existence of the High School Alma Mater that carries profound history since its founding in 1947.

Mr. Joseph T. Santos, acting OIC of MariSci and from MIST Batch 1992, appeals to all, “We reach out to all alumni to help preserve our beloved school and bring back students to the campus they truly deserve.”

Ms. Fe Oaing-Doromal, Chairman of the Ad Hoc committee and MIST graduate from Batch 1992 is very optimistic about the support of all batches to this event. “It will be a memorable day for everyone and an opportunity to keep our school strong. This is our chance to give back to our alma mater which honed us to be achievers.” She also highlights that proceeds from this event can support in establishing a Shoelanders Foundation and provide for the educational needs of deserving scholars and other beneficial programs.

Marikina City Mayor Marcelino “Marcy” Teodoro, MIST Batch 1986 alumnus, expressed great support to the event offering the Marikina Sports Center as venue for the event. “It is my great joy to see my former classmates and teachers again. I am truly excited to reminisce about the times we had when I was studying in MIST. I know that the graduates are a great contribution of our school as their talents and knowledge are integral factors in nation-building.”

AMERICAN PIE: REUNION movie review

over ten years had passed when Jim (Jason Biggs) together with his men goes back to East Great Falls, Michigan for their long-awaited high school reunion. and as soon as they reunite, these men may been out grown the things they had from high school. the guys had matured but never forgotten the memories then.

with Jim and his wife Michelle (Alyson Hannigan) have been experiencing some bed problems. Oz (Chris Klein), on the other hand may have a successful career as a sports commentator in Las Vegas; Kevin is a settled house husband with his French wife and Stiffler works in a global accounting firm.

they might have transformed to people they can be proud of but their obsession with sex and relationships hasn't changed. still doing their own things with themselves or with past relationships. that's where all the funny things from high school go back. have you still remembered Jim's video which circulated the internet? and even Mr. Levenstein's sex advises to Jim. what's more, you'll have more younger chicks that will drive the guys to trouble. in case you noticed, Stiffler would be enjoying a lot.

jokes are still common but they didn't fail me to laugh out. Jim and Stiffler are still the best guys that delivers all the funny things. Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas), Oz and Kevin would be the more serious type. all in all, the story goes about friendship and having fun in life. but don't let age be a barrier in doing the things you love. watch it and you'll see more than the three pre-installments. you'll never expect who ends up with who.

American Pie: The Reunion opens on May 2, 2012 in Philippine cinemas. brought to us by United International Pictures through Solar Entertainment Company. this movie is rated R for sexual content and pranks.
