"Pasko" (The Philippine Festival)
Here are some photos taken during the "Pasko" (The Filipino Christmas Festival) at the Sacred Heart College in Lower Hutt. Apology for those who were not in this album as the one who has taken the photos only took the little window of opportunity to do so - busy and quietly working in the background... :) Thanks to Ambassador Virginia Benavidez and the Philippine Embassy Staff for their all-out support, the community leaders and all the volunteers and the BFT Trustees for making this event a success! Special thanks to our guests and sponsors for making this event extra special. Thanks for the support and contribution to its success. We do hope that when somebody says "Pasko", people in NZ will know that it's a Filipino Christmas Festival. Looking forward to the next one next year!
