REPOST, REREAD, AND RELEARN THE TRUTH ABOUT SOME AKP HISTORY.
WRITTEN BY SENIOR BROTHER Gene Lorenzo
UNFOLDING!!!
The untold story of AKP according to Rolly Panganiban... isang pag-aanalisa...
(hanggang ngaun pala meron parin mga kapatid na nalilito dahil sa gawa-gawang kwento na ito kaya kailangan q muling i-post ito... para sa katotohanan... Vincit Omina Veritas)
If we're there in 1973 when AKP was founded is irrelevantโฆ HINDI natin kailangan na nandun tayo para malaman natin ang history ng AKPโฆ Just like when Ferdinand Magellan discovered the Philippines in 1521โฆ We're not there but we know the history, isnโt it? We're not there when G*t Andres Bonifacio became the Supremo of the Katipunan, we're not there when G*t Jose Rizal was executed via firing squad in Bagumbayanโฆ History tells us everything that happened even if we're not thereโฆ
Para mas lalo natin mapag-aralan ang tinatawag nilang Untold Story of AKP by Rolly Panganibanโฆ Sabay-sabay nating pag-aralan at himay-himayin ang storyโฆ every paragraph of the storyโฆ
Correct me if I am wrongโฆ and I will stand correctedโฆ
โฆ So, without further a doโฆ letโs get it startedโฆ..
PARAGRAPH I
In 1972, there was a fraternity in the University Belt area called OFSI, which is short for OMEGA FRATERNITY SORORITY INTERNATIONAL. All of its members were students of San Sebastian College at Claro M Recto Ave in Manila. OFSI and its founders were very active about the growth of the fraternity from within the college and outside.
---> ( 1972 when ofsi was foundedโฆ nagrecruit sila sa loob ng campus hanggang sa labas ng basteโฆ
Question: anung mga chapters sa labas ng baste ang tinutukoy nila na na-established nila noong 1972?
HINDI maaaring beyond 1973 dahil sabi nila AKP na sila noong September 9, 1973โฆ So, literally the massive recruitment of ofsi took placed before the merging.) --> WALANG ofsi chapter sa labas ng baste.....
PARAGRAPH II
The โInternationalโ part of OFSI became a reality with the recruitment of Robert Smith, a U.S. navy personnel from Missouri, USA, who was currently assigned to the Subic Naval base in Cavite. When bro. Robert was reassigned back to the states, he was able to recruit close friends from his home town and his current base. Most of them identified themselves as members and brothers by having (the letters) OFSI tattooed on their bodies.
---> (Again does this mean that Robert Smith, a US navy personnel was recruited months before the merging? Kasi kailangan ng mahabang panahon dahil kailangan ng enough time para makabalik xa sa USA at makapag recruit xa ng mga ofsi sa USA dahil ofsi ang tinayo niya sa USA and not AKP that means that Robert Smith was able to recruit OFSI members before September 9, 1973.
ETO ANG MATINDING SABLAY sa paragraph na itoโฆ WALANG Subic Naval Base sa Caviteโฆ ang Subic Naval Base ay nasa Olongapo, sa Zambalesโฆ Ang nasa Cavite ay Sangley Point.)..
PARAGRAPH III
The โSororityโ recruitment did not happen right away because San Sebastian College was an exclusive school for men during that time.
---> (The sorority recruitment did not happen right away- sa tagalog hindi kaagad nangyari, that means nangyari pero hindi kaagadโฆ so, Kailan? Dapat nangyari yun bago ang September 9, 1973 merging dahil AKP na sila at hindi na ofsi noong September 9, 1973 sabi nila... So, sino-sino ung mga ofsi sorority members na narecruit nila before September 9, 1973? Hindi ba dapat meron din sila Founding Mothers? Lalo na yung 1st batch of sorority recruits... Since walang girls sa baste during those days anung school or community chapter unang nagkaroon ng OFSI sorority? Bakit kahit isang pangalan wala sila maibigay?)..
PARAGRAPH IV
When OFSI started recruiting 4th year high school students, the membership was slowly but surely increasing. A memorable high school recruit was Jerome Reyes (deceased), who at that time was a martial arts expert and showed no mercy during battles with rival fraternities. Although, OFSI was already quite popular on campus due to their tight camaraderie and strong commitment to brotherhood, bro. Jerome made the OFSI name famous within and outside of campus because of his fighting skills.
---> (according to brod Jerome Reyes, he joined ofsi in 1975, graduating high school student daw xa noon.. IF the merging happened in September 9, 1973โฆ HINDI ba dapat AKP na sila at WALA ng ofsi EH BAKIT sa ofsi parin sumali si brod Jerome noong 1975 kung wala ng ofsi noong panahon na yun??? This paragraph ang magpapatunay na nagsimula ang recruitment ng OFSI sa High School noong 1975, dahil noong school year 1974-75 or 1975-76 ay 4th year high school si Brod Jerome at xa ang 1st high school recruit ng OFSI, patunay na wala pa ang merging noong 1975.
IF Brod Jerome was recruited early on, let us say school year 1972-73, he was only a freshman or 1st year high school when he was recruited and NOT a 4th year high school student as stated in the paragraph โฆ and that is ridiculous seeing a 1st year high school battling in frat wars against powerful fraternities in and out of the campus and even showing his no mercy skillsโฆ and the following year 2nd year high school xaโฆ so, bakit 2nd year high school ang isa sa mga representatives ng OFSI para makipag-usap sa merging ng 2 fraternities? Hindi ba napakalakas ng OFSI sa baste, wala bang mga college students para makipagusap at isang 2nd year high school student ang sinama nila?
And most of all this paragraph will ABOLISH the history of Delta Kappa Rho and the Legacy of AKP Junior Founder Brod Jun โlaboโ Pasaporteโฆ Brod Jun joined AKP at the University of the East Recto in 1975 โฆ so, if brod Jerome Reyes joined the ofsi in the school year 1972-73 and was part of the September 9, 1973 merging, that means brod Jerome became AKP in September 9, 1973 at NAUNA pa xa kay Brod Jun Pasaporte ng dalawang taon making brod Jerome the 1st AKP high school and if was able to recruit his classmates during those days that means that AKP Junior was already established in Baste 2 years before Brod Jun Pasaporte joined AKPโฆ if this paragraph is true, this means that brod Jerome is the Founder of AKP Junior and the very first High School Chapter of AKP was San Sebastian Chapterโฆ BAKIT pa nagtayo si brod Jun Pasaporte ng Delta Kappa Rho at nagsubmit pa ng petition sa UST kung meron ng nakatayong AKP Junior sa San Sebastian College Recoletos noon pa man September 9, 1973... BTW, Brod Jerome NEVER claimed to be the founder of AKP Junior.)..
PARAGRAPH V
Then came the news that the Alpha Kappa Kappa, a small fraternity from the University of Santo Tomas was interested in merging with OFSI. The first meeting was held at the Cash Nโ Carry Restaurant C.M. Recto Avenue. Present during the meeting were the founding fathers of OFSI, headed by Bro. Rholly Panganiban and Bro. Alex Ramirez with some OFSI members. Representing the Alpha Kappa Kappa fraternity were Mr. Jose Boy Chua and a few of its members.
Discussed were the advantages and issues on integration of the two fraternities. One of the most talked about topic was which name will be used, whether it would remain as ALPHA KAPPA KAPPA or remain as the Omega Fraternity Sorority International. One noteworthy suggestion was the combination of both names of which was ALPHA KAPPA OMEGA. But there were objections to the name because there were so many โomicronsโ already being used by other fraternities during that time.
Finally, both sides agreed on the name ALPHA KAPPA RHO. Using the first two Greek words, Alpha Kappa and adding the 3rd Greek word, RHO which was coincidentally, derived from the name of Mr. Rholly Panganiban, giving him partial credit in naming the group. This is the day when ALPHA KAPPA RHO officially began, Sept. 9, 1973.
---> (No comment on thisโฆ ito ung paragraph na mahirap ianalyze since sila lang mismo ang makakasagot nitoโฆ Iโm just wondering, uso na pala noong 1973 na lagyan ng letter โHโ ang mga pangalanโฆ meron na pala mga jejemon noonโฆ aside from that meron ng Alpha Kappa Omega that was established in 1970, nagkaroon pa nga ito ng movie entitled "Batch 81"... )..
PARAGRAPHS VI & VII
Another meeting was agreed upon to further discuss the merge. Representatives from the Alpha Kappa Kappa, headed by Mr. Jose Boy Chua met with representatives of OFSI, lead by Mr. Rholly Panganiban at his family residence in Quezon City.
This was a very historical event, since it finalized the merge and everyone contributed to lay down a solid foundation for the newly created fraternity. Another unforgettable moment that is worth mentioning from this historical event was when a neighbor, Mr. Pepe Pimentel, which was a popular TV host/actor at that time, came over and told everybody at the meeting to stay quiet so he will not be disturbed. The founders thought he was going to join. Mr. Pimentel turned out to be a witness to the event.
Soon after the historical merging of the 2 fraternities into Alpha Kappa Rho, bro. Alex Ramirez accompanied bro. Cesar Macandili to his province in Batangas and established the first community AKRHO chapter in San Pio Quinto, Malvar, Batangas. In this newly created chapter, two siblings of bro. Cesar Macandili, Renato Macandili and Raynaldo Jojo Macandili were initiated and baptized in their farm in San Pedro, Malvar, Batangas.
Both brothers, Renato and Raynaldo formed the first local school chapter of AKRHO at the Tananuan Institute in their province of Batangas.
---> (Again this paragraph will NEGATE the AKP history that Brod Auggie Fabian established the very first AKP Community Chapter in Valenzuela, Bulacan in 1975โฆ the members of this chapter in Valenzuela are still around, and they are the one who can testify on this claim.)..
PARAGRAPHS VIII, IX & X
Around 1978, bro. Raynaldo, with the assistance of bro. Jun Pasaporte, formed the AKRHO chapter at Jose Rizal College in Mandaluyong. Bro. Raynaldo was well known as โBoy Ketsupโ at that time. Sadly, he passed away in 1979.
After a few years, his son, Reymond, joined the fraternity. Bro. Reymond Macandili continued the legacy of his father and founded the AKRHO chapter at the Philippine Aeronautical School in Pasay City together with bro. Roberto De Lara.
--->HINDI rin ito totoo dahil 1975 palang meron ng Chapter ng AKP sa JRC... and it was founded by Brod Anthony Bais... And Brod Anthony Bais is still around as well as the Skeptrons of Batch 75, 76 and 77 and they can attest to this claim...
The origins of becoming a lifetime fraternity member as contributed by OFSI.
The Mark/Cigarette burn was one of the options strongly considered because it would signify the rites of passage. The dilemma at that time was where to place the burn mark, since most parts of the hands had marks or tattoos already used by other fraternities.
During a meeting one afternoon at Luisa and Sons Restaurant located near San Sebastian College, an old OFSI hangout, each member present agreed to put the mark on the lower part of the right hand wrist. This would be done by using a popular Spanish made cigar, called Hav-A-Tampa . This cigar was smaller in size of a regular cigar but slightly larger than a regular cigarette stick. The size of the burn will create an almost perfect round mark.
After a few rounds of beer, the first to volunteer was Alex Ramirez and next was Rholly Panganiban. Alex Mangubat and Larry la Putt soon followed. Next was Hector de los Angeles and Dick Mendiola. Then the last to have it was Dick Machon.
Although the burn mark was introduced at that time, it was not officially mandatory for each member.
Later on, after every current and new members decided to do it, the burn mark became mandatory for all OFSI to have it done after the final rites. Along with the celebratory toast of the official OFSI drink, a glass full of White Castle Whiskey that was consumed to the last drop.
---> (No comment on this)..
PARAGRAPH XI
The OFSI handshake - Introduced by bro. Alex Ramirez and discussed with members that each placement of the hand and fingers represent a deep meaning or representation. The interlocking of the thumb and the small finger symbolizes that rich and poor people of the society are of equal status. The pointer finger which interlocks the wrist of the right hand and the middle finger touching the burn mark on the lower part of the wrist represents the strong relationship among all brothers.
---> (So, it was Brod Alex Ramirez and NOT Rolly Panganiban who introduced the handshakeโฆ But Mr. Rolly Panganiban is now claiming that he was the one who introduced the handshake)..
PARAGRAPH XII
The hand signal - It started from a joint alliance between OFSI and Alpha Phi Omega. It was during a time when a group of brothers from OFSI rescued some members of the Alpha Phi Omega from the University of the East when they were out-numbered by the Tau Gamma Phi.
After that incident, it was adopted by the next generation of members from AKHRO-OFSI, since collegiate chapters were now slowly fading and numerous community chapters were being established at a very fast pace in the Greater Metro Manila, Luzon and Visayas regions.
---> (Honestly nalalabuan aq sa paragraph na itoโฆ himayin natinโฆ the hand sign was used by the allied force of ofsi and apo, so, that means nangyari ito between 1972 and days before September 9, 1973, BTW, according to my former bilas Rey, a Tau Gamma Phi member of San Sebastian College of the early 70โs batch, the strongest fraternity in San Sebastian during the early 70โs was APO, next was Beta Sigma and 3rd was Tau Gamma Phiโฆ WALA pa daw AKP noon sa basteโฆ Baste was the strongest Chapter of APO sa buong Pilipinas during the early 70โs.
Mas nalalabuan aq sa statement na Collegiate Chapters were slowly fadingโฆ dahil nung mga panahon na ito papalakas palang ang mga Collegiate Chapters, nagsisimula pa lamang mag establish ng mga Collegiate Chapters ang AKP dahil in 1973-1975 sa pagkakaalam q 5 palang ang Collegiate Chapters ng AKP at nagsisimula palang kumalat at dumami ang mga Collegiate Chapters ng AKP sa buong kapuluan so, bakit sasabihin na slowly fadingโฆ Malabo itong statement na itoโฆ dahil hindi tayo dadami ng ganito kung noong 1970โs pa lamang ay slowly fading na ang mga Collegiate Chaptersโฆ I am a product of Collegiate Chaptersโฆ so, kung 1970โs pa fading na ang AKP Collegiate eh di sana hindi na aq naging AKPโฆ)..
PARAGRAPHS XIII, XIV & XV
Our beloved Alpha Kappa Rho fraternity chapters multiplied nationwide and internationally as the years pass was a good thing. The undesirable result from all this success was revisions to historical events happened, words, slogans, passwords, logos that were not part of the momentous origins emerged.
Let it be known to all our brothers and sisters everywhere, that all these events that started 38 years ago proves that the San Sebastian College-OFSI members at that time were truly included as part of the founding fathers of Alpha Kappa Rho.
We also give notice to those that said that the Omega Fraternity Sorority International of San Sebastian College and all of its members were converted over and the college deemed as a chapter of U.S.T is a negligent misrepresentation of the true events that took place.
San Sebastian College is NOT a chapter of U.S.T.
---> (AKP-UST is a Chapter and AKP-San Sebatian College Recoletos is a Chapter... wala naman nagsasabi na ang San Sebastian ay chapter ng UST... dahil pareho lang silang chapters... dahil kung hindi chapter ng AKP ang AKP-Baste eh anu pala sila? anu ang tawag sa kanila?)
We, the founding fathers of AKRHO-OFSI, who were present during the merging that gave birth to the Alpha Kappa Rho fraternity, strongly challenge the validity of that misrepresentation.
These events and statements mentioned here are for the purpose of giving justice to all brothers that contributed in one way or another to make Alpha Kappa Rho to where it is at right now.
Please be reminded that we are NOT, by any means, taking away any credit that was given to the U.S.T. founders. We only wanted the equal recognition due to OFSI as part of the merging that gave birth to Alpha Kappa Rho. We are requesting the truth, because "truth conquers all" and we are the living proof.
The original ALPHA KAPPA RHO of San Sebastian College:
Alex Ramirez; Rholly Panganiban; Dennie Ravara; Cezar Macandili; Alex Mangubat; Dick Mendiola; Rolly Parel; Larry la Putt; Arnel Abeja; Bobby Rosales; Virgilio Ambion; George Reyes; Hector delos Angeles; Greg Oris; Teddy Laison; Rino Laurente; Dick Machon; Chito Zamora...

Very short and precise ang History ng AKP...
And this is the TRUE HISTORY of Alpha Kappa Rho...
Alpha Kappa Rho Intercollegiate Fraternity and Sorority was founded at the University of Santo Tomas on August 8, 1973 by the 16 UST College students headed by FF Jose "Boy" Chua...
Nothing more... Nothing less...
If we are going to believe this untold story of Mr. Rolly Panganiban then we must DROP the Junior Founding Father in Brod Jun Pasaporteโs name since marami ng nauna sa kanya mula pa 1973โฆ also ERASE the Delta Kappa Rho in the history of Alpha Kappa Rho, lalabas kasi na gawa-gawa lamang ang story ng Delta Kappa Rho dahil ayon sa kwento meron ng junior AKP sa baste mula pa noong 1973โฆ and also EXTINGUISHED the claim thaAuggie Fabian established the very first AKP Community Chapter in Valenzuela dahil ayon sa kwento, meron ng akp community chapter sa batangas noong 1973 paโฆ
This is a CHOICE between the History and Legacy of AKP Junior Founding Father Brod Jun Pasaporte and Mr. Rolly Panganibanโs Untold Storyโฆ Based on this untold story, AKP Junior Founding Father Brod Jun Pasaporte was just a member of AKP.
If you are going to read and understand the untold story of rolly panganiban mapapansin ninyo na ang sinasagasaan ng husto sa kwento ay si AKP Junior Founding Father Brod Jun Pasaporte... pinapakita sa untold story na ordinaryong member lamang si Brod Jun Pasaporte... at bago pa man xa pumasok sa AKP ay marami ng mga junior AKP dalawang taon bago pa xa sumali sa AKP-UE Recto...
The untold story is a CHOICE between Mr. Rolly Panganiban's story and the Legacy of Brod Jun Pasaporte...
Sa lahat ng mga NANINIWALA kay Brod Jun Pasaporte, HUWAG kayo maniniwala sa untold story...
at sa kabilang banda naman...
lahat ng mga NANINIWALA sa untold story, HUWAG kayo maniniwala kay Brod Jun Pasaporte.....
THE BOTTOM LINE IS...
The untold story of Mr. Rolly Panganiban is very much CONTRADICTING and in CONFLICT with the History and Legacy of Brod Jun Pasaporte...
Kaya HINDI pwede na naniniwala kayo sa untold story at the same time ay naniniwala din kayo sa history ni Brod Jun Pasaporte... dahil magka-kontra ang kasaysayan at kwento nila...
This is my own analysis on the storyโฆ
HOW ABOUT YOUR ANALYSIS???
