Traditionally, Quezon Province Association of Manitoba celebrates holiday season with a Christmas family get-together. But this year, it is moved to welcome the New Year 2012 with a great fun and food under the leadership of the newly elected president, Don Cymbalisty and his officers and volunteers.
Prizes for the games were awarded to the winners, young and old alike. Even the first QPAM president, Rod E. Cantiveros was given a coffee gift card. Food and goodies were served and everyone enjoyed the real family-driven celebration of the new year. Bong Profeta, the official QPAM lensman, took many good shots of the game, the QPAM ladies and the Quezonian officers, members and guest for a family picture.
It was well attended with special guests from Taytay Rizal and from some other organizations.
Information about the Mayuhan 2012, a festival of harvest and a religious thanksgiving, is announced. With the purpose of community participation, Don Cymbalisty encourages other organizations and groups to participate in this yearly Santa Cruzan which will be held at the Maples Community Centre on May 19, Saturday. There is a plan to include families living near the Maples Community Centre to be a part of the celebration. Pahiyas and pabitin will highlight the colourful celebrations, one of the well known tourist attractions in the Philippines.
Those kababayans who want to become reynas and sagalas, please get in touch with the officers and members of QPAM. You can send email to Don Cymbalisty: qpam.inc@gmail.com or (204)775-4426.
