1st BatVolks Braekfast Tamabay and SSVWC Visit

April 25, 2009 Saturday

I got a reply via text from Paul, “SLEX na kami”. I was on my way to Lipa and sent texts to the BatFolks informing that the South Side crew is on their way, that was 6 in the morning. I arrived at Shell 15 minutes later. Tato is also on his way to open the cafe, same with Richard and Fred. Tato came with hot pandesal while Richard brought some freshly ground coffee beans and brown sugar. Fred brewed the coffee the Batangueno way. Adrian also showed up with hot pandesal.

Sir Dan came as surprise with his show winner 1303s. He have been missing some club meetings due to his busy schedule. And it is good to have him sharing the fun again. Malou brought her in-law’s 1302. The Batangas City folks arrived as a pack of 3 bugs with Bhoy, Liza and Chona. Onin in his double cab arrived next. Janno came riding a scooter and the self-acclaimed “your-boy-next-door” Kiko also showed up with. Last to arrive was Big Man Tito in his pink bug.


It was VWCP-Batangas/BatVolks’ first Breakfast Tambay! There pocket discussions and small talks. A short meeting was also held regarding updates on the car show and next month’s activity. The meeting was not complete without some beer and chips courtesy of Big Man Tito who celebrated his birthday last week. Sir Dan asked Tito about his age and the birthday boy replied, “Wag n’yo na itanong edad ko. At mas lalong ‘wag n’yo na itanong ang gamit kong shampoo!”, which made everybody burst into laughter.


The South Side Crew came while we drink our beer. And we offered them brewed coffee and pandesal. They took a rest at the Board Room of RichsCafe where we also hold our regular meetings and serves as our “office”

With the strong number of South Side crews VWs, the gas station is filled with an array of Type 2s and Type 1s!

The Bat Girls also cooked “champorado” or “choco rice” and served it hot to our friends from South Side. Group photos with SSVWC are shot before SSVWC went on their way to Lobo for their club outing.
Some of the Batboys stayed until afternoon for more “maboboteng usapan”!

Thanks to South Side VW Club! Sa uulitin!
