[Photo above shows the BIRTHDAY CELEBRANT, Brod RENE TARUC, with the love of his life, Brod Rene’s gracious wife TESS PAZ; while dining at the cafe located at the ground floor of the BRENTWOOD SUITES in Quezon City, Metro-Manila, Philippines. Brod RENE, for and in behalf of the San Sebastian College – PI O Chapter, pitched-in and donated a wholesome amount for the quest of my daughters to BAG the GOLD in the 2017 WORLD HIPHOP INTERNATIONAL CONTEST in Phoenix, Arizona on August 7-12, 2017. THANK YOU BROD RENE!]
He was the FOUNDER of the PI OMICRON Chapter in BASTE, MANILA1—
That’s among the illustrious COLLEGES
along AZCARRAGA2;
Though he started COLLEGE in UP Diliman3…
It could be that for PI O, BASTE needs a MAN4!
He’s truly JOLLY and a true-blue RACONTEUR5,
He tells funny stories with gestures like an ACTEUR6;
And his way of LAUGHING is amazingly PECULIAR7,
The CONTAGION8 indeed is somewhat SURREAL9!
His leadership QUALITIES is beyond QUESTION,
‘Tis a feather in his cap, the BASTE organization—
It speaks not only of his leadership but his diplomatic SKILLS,
His persuasive talent would outdo all the SHILLS10!
He’s one of the best MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER —
In the whole of the PI O and even the smallest CHAPTER;
He could surely sell a FRIDGE11 to an ALASKAN11a,
And even sell robes and raiments inside a NUDIST CAMP12!
Though not an ALASKAN, he’s good at ALASKAHAN13,
And don’t get me wrong, he’s not a habitué14 in a BUFF CAMP15;
For he is religiously MORAL and is GOD-FEARING…
Am sure if taken to a BUFF Camp, he’d be CRINGING15a!
Being born under the LEO sign16,
He’s possessed of mysterious charisma; that’s so BENIGN…
And possessed too with GREAT WILLPOWER,
That’s the reason why he COMMANDS respect like a TOWER!
The CHINESE Zodiac sign of HORSE17 is HIS,
That’s why he’s HONEST and OPEN-MINDED …he TRULY IS;
Brod RENE indeed has carved a NICHE,
In PI OMICRON’s NATCON18 you’d be so BEWITCHED19!
THANK YOU BROD RENE FOR BASTE’S DONATION and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

4 – It could have been a case of serendipity, as during that time when Brod Rene transferred to San Sebastian College, there was no formally extant PI OMICRON Chapter thereat. Earlier however, there were efforts waged to put a PI OMICRON chapter through the orchestration of the late Brod Pete de los Santos and Jessie Loanzon. However, that original group did not survive long enough. Eventually Brod Rene turned out to be the MAN that would excellently organize a self-sustaining PI OMICRON chapter thereat.

14 – HABITUE means a resident of or frequent visitor to a particular place.
