VINA FRANCISCO REMEMBERS

After the Saint Marie Eugenie canonization in Rome, I was walking around the different events feeling so proud of myself and basking in all the compliments I was getting about my emcee performance. Then  Sister Regivic pulled me aside and said “YOU forgot the UK!!   Oh my God!   I called out  35 countries and forgot to announce the “United Kingdom !!”  Of course she was right!   I was 41 years old and still got scolded by my Principal!     Love you too Sister Regivic!

When we were in 1st year high school,  3 girls in 3rd year committed suicide.  That was shocking and traumatic to say the least.  I was still trying to find a saving grace for being in San Lorenzo after 4 years in our little heaven in Antipolo and then these suicides happened. It was all so weird.  Suddenly, out of nowhere a Sister Regivic appeared.  She was omnipresent , she was just everywhere , eyes at the back of her head! There was no escaping her.  In hindsight as I look back, maybe she told herself “No one is going to die under my watch.”   I loved Sister Regivic!
