July Wowoweekend
by Chi Padua

5 APR 2007 - If you are a stranger to "Wowowee" – then you haven't seen the world-famous show produced by Philippines' ABS-CBN television station available through Direct TV or your local cable company. It has gotten so big that even San Diego's San Antonians are caught in the Wowowee fever.

The show is a special favorite of those who love to admire the beauty and gracefulness of the Filipina dancers in the show. The lively and graceful moves of the dancers are enhanced by their svelte figures, as well. We have witnessed their gyrating waists and wide splits…all to the delight of any dance enthusiasts or those pretending to be a fan of this art form. Whereas, for some dedicated viewers of the show the games participated in by local and foreign contestants alike that are the main attraction, one can’t discount comedian-host Willie Revillame's talent and significant role in bringing the show to its current height of popularity.

Because of the popular appeal of Wowowee, the Officers of SASDCI are coming out with a fun picnic theme. WOWOWEEKEND will be held on July 14th picnic at Admiral Baker Field. Now, who better to show us how to have a Wowowee time than Mina and Ben Maggay? The couple recently visited the set of Wowowee in the ABS-CBN station in Quezon City, Philippines. They were recognized by several San Antonian fans of the program shown last January 30. Golfing buddies of Mng. Ben went with them to the show too. Golf or no golf, we are almost sure that Mng. Ben's recent trip to the Philippines is the most exciting so far. His smile says it all in the photos!






Aida Radoc Celebrates 62nd Birthday
17 FEB 2007 - Aida Radoc wasn't one to hide her age (simply because she doesn’t look her age).

Among the guests were the celebrant's fellow balikbayan Mina and Ben Maggay.




Celebrant is the older sister of Willie Radoc, SASDCI's newest Sgt.-at-Arms. Aida is currently in the Philippines overseeing the renovation of the Radoc family home.
