On my way home, I bumped into someone I knew from high school. He was two batches higher than me.

"Kamusta?," he asked enthusiastically. We talked about college life, about commuting home, yada yada...

I learned he was studying in UP Diliman. He saw me wearing a UP ROTC shirt.

"Ah, taga UP ka rin?" I shook my head. I told him I took ROTC at UP. He looked confused. I then told him I was studying at UA & P, and we were taking ROTC at Diliman.

"Okay, so ano ka... infantry?"

This time, I was the one confused.

"No, no... kasama kami sa affiliates."

"Ah, mga minions." Then he asked whether we were responsible for cleaning up the place, picking garbage, etc... I answered yes.

So that's what we were.
