September 2008 - I met with Sir Christopher Barrameda, director of The Abba's Orchard School, because he wanted to make a website for the UP Alumni Association CDO Chapter. At start we were only talking about a month's time of work for the project to get done. But eventually after meeting with other board members and officers, they wanted more so time had to be extended.

Finally, May of 2009 the project has been finished tailor fitted for their needs. It was launched for public viewing last May 21, 2009 at the UPAA Fellowship and Forum Night with guest speaker Professor Winnie Monsod held at the VIP Hotel, Cagayan de Oro.
Dinner came in first because physical and online registration took a bit longer than expected. There were 2 desktops and 2 laptops open for online registration. After dinner, Prof. Winnie arrived, there was a ribbon cutting for the site's launch, she keyed in her info and she had a talk about our country's economy.

Sir Chris also talked about the features of the site and some key points in using it. Picture taking happened afterwards and we, my partner Ralph Pelador and friend Jay De La Rosa, made sure we had a picture with Manay Winnie - we told her we were fans of her Debate show in GMA, she also said we are good examples of young people working hard and helping the economy. We were all smiles.
