Philippine Independence Day 2008

Festive settings of booths greeted me in the entrance. People handing out flyers and membership form are stationed at the gate. San Miguel promo girls dressed in silver over blue and gold over red were smiling at passersby.

Two guys in D200 and D300 ushered me and our group to the gallery. It’s a photo exhibition of talented and prominent Filipino personalities in Thailand in the area of public service, entertainment, religious order and more.

A variety of Filipino dishes laid tempting before my eyes. I took the liberty to pig out at the moment. Kare-kare, sinigang, adobong langka, dinuguan, suman, turon, banana-q, palabok were some of the treats I have tried that day.

It’s never an occasion if singing and dancing are missing. Surely all sorts of band members where their. From praise, new wave, alternative to disco musics where played live. Not just that. Tribal (Igorot dance), hip-hop and ballroom where among the few dances that I have seen that day. Could you imagine the fun? However, me and hubby have to go home early and play tennis.
