The Birth of NPOW
- NAMABC's presence on the web (NPOW) was influenced by the work of the late Mr.Precy Ordinario ME'74 and PRO of Southern California Mapua Alumni for 1997-1998, and being the newsletter editor of NAMABC, I mentioned to Joe Pante and Victor Dalisay the need of the newsletters to be on the net.
