UNIVERSITY OF SANTO TOMAS: DOMINICAN'S ORDER OF PREACHERS
NILO OF TEXAS is the featured Thomasian of the season.
Here's a short background and resume extraordinaire....
- Texas Cowboy (Midnight variety; absolutely not Brokeback)
- Prime Minister of L*U*S*T* - Lovers of University of Santo Tomas)
- Jose Rizal Historian
- Poet Laureate
- Part-time Golfer
- Former Beer-drinking Champion of New York & the World
- Visayan Casanova
If you will look closely at this class photo of Nilo, you will notice that he's the only one holding a notebook. And I'm pretty sure it doesn't look like a Playboy Magazine. The Dominican Fathers surely did not condone such kind of sin. (Giggles). One would assume that what's inside are lecture notes or drawing of body organs (science). But this may not be the case at all. What's inside are probably the names and addresses of his babes from the Visayan Coast to Manila Bay. No cell phone numbers of course in those devilish days having been not invented yet. As a young man, you can tell Nilo is intellectually superior by the way he holds his notebook....or black book on his left hand. It's hard to tell what he's holding in his right hand....something in his pocket, maybe.
Filipino med techs and engineers moved to the great southwestern State of Texas in the mid-1970s. One of these bold men who made the bold move is Nilo. As an Undercover Thomasian, I must confess I have not uncovered what he did in between. I call it the LOST YEARS. I heard from my covert source that he had married an Ilocana and they had triplet daughters. He must have flip-flopped in his chosen career because today, he's a wealthy businessman in Texas.
My dearest fellow Thomasians of the universe, ONCE A LAB TECH, ALWAYS A LAB TECH. He may have been a prodigal LAB TECH Thomasian but his heart and soul will always be linked with us.
By his supreme order, Prime Minister Nilo, named the following LUSTs as Honorary Members:
MANNY
DO
FREDDIE
LINGGOT
