Stars, Hearts and Tasty Tarts.

I remember the time I was in Red Ribbon with my friends during my frosh year… He told me, “wag mo masyado ilabas yang cellphone mo. may nadukutan lang dyan kanina…”

I was a frosh then and did not know who he was, and so all I could do was thank him. 

Thank you Jenny, for all the times you made the Taft experience memorable. :)

 “Jenny” is an icon in DLSU and CSB. He is probably heaps more popular to students than any prof in lasalle. It’s always a mystery how he always has insider infos on school events like exam dates, school holidays, and enrollment dates (mas una nya pa alam kaysa sa students). Unlike most beggars, Jenny is well-trusted by students. For 5 pesos, he will help you cross the street with a big umbrella on hand during rainy days, he will line-up at mcdo taft to buy your food for you, etc.

Sayang froshies can no longer know this one of a kind icon in Taft.

You might see him as someone who everyone would despise, but trust me, he’s a bigger person than you think he is.

I only got to experience Jenny’s presence once in my whole stay in Taft. A big factor is because starting in my second year, I was already staying in the SDA building. Back in first year, we were still attending classes on the Main campus of CSB. Me and my blockmates went to Red Ribbon to eat. We were all so engrossed at ordering food because the line was really long. Then enters Jenny and does his daily routine of asking for a peso from everyone. She would always say “Pogi/Ganda, pengeng piso”, and then when you give her one, she tells you random news from current events happening in or out of Lasalle and Benilde. It’s amazing to see that she knows important dates of both Lasalle and CSB, from pre-enrollment schedules to finals, even before students would know them.

It’s sad to see him pass away. I got to experience him only once. That one experience would forever stay as a memory.
