Most often times that I encounter newbies, they always ask me, "kuya Prince, paano ba nagsimula ang GSC?”. I often answer them with a faint smile and say it’s a long story. Now let me narrate what really happened and how GSC was born.
I and the Co-Founder were good text friends since we were in our former clan. It was just ironical that whenever I attended a gathering of that group, he was not there and vice-versa. Until sometime that he formed his own clan, the TJBF. But still we text each other until sometime in June or July, he told me that he’s hard up in managing the clan. I answered, just stand for what you have started. He replied, I am not used to managing a clan and besides it’s my first time to do so. I said that I was not ready for that kind of commitment then because I just re-entered into schooling after four years of working.
Then sometime in July, he sent me a text message urging me to take over. I replied: "ok let’s meet then”. On August 8, 2008, roughly after lunch, we met here at our house. I showed him my proposal and the name of the clan which I was planning. He said "ok na yan” so we then agreed. Later that day, we met with the other original members of TJBF along with my original recruits for the GSC faction. We met in front of the St. Dominic Cathedral at Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya.
A duty relinquished and a mission realized, thus, Gamma Spectrum Clan was born on the sunny afternoon of August 8, 2008. Founded by Diego B. Cabalar (Prince) and Co-Founded by Hipolito P. Decano III (Psychotic), the organization was founded on a date "888”, apparently symbolizing infinity; a gesture of luck and success.
Journeying on the muddy road of the text clan world, GSC managed to penetrate within the Province of Nueva Vizcaya within weeks of its existence that finally grew to months and finally a year. Hurdling the challenges on how to keep it firm, GSC Administration, with consistent support from its loyal members, launched its First Camaraderie Festival (1st Founding Anniversary).
On August 9, 2009, barely one year in the circulation, Gamma Spectrum Clan astounded the text clan world when it celebrated its First Founding Anniversary at the Tomas D. Dacayo Community Center-a first and only in the history of clans in Nueva Vizcaya with a P26K worth that featured a Miss Gay Competition and a Modern Dance Show-Off- a truly successful event. An estimated crowd of more than 500 people graced the said event including three (3) guest clans.
Despite of numerous obstacles along its way, GSC continues to light the path of the youth, a reason for which it was formed. To date, the organization has local and international linkages to support and sustain its projects and advocacy.
Whatever is in store ahead of the organization, only time can judge and tell. With the consistent support and dedicated efforts of GSC’s administration, alumni and members, the organization shall surge forward; continuing to Dream and turning them into Reality for the Legacy of the hope of our nation.
