We are deeply honoured and grateful that PIACH — Philippine International for Arts, Culture & Heritage — has been nominated for the Most Influential Community Organization of the Year at the 2026 Golden Balangay Awards!

The awards ceremony will take place on Saturday, August 8, 2026, in Prince Edward Island.

This nomination recognizes the collective passion and dedication of our board members, volunteers, partners, sponsors, artists, performers, and supporters who help us promote Filipino arts, culture, heritage, and community service.

Due to a prior family summer commitment, I will be unable to represent PIACH at the ceremony in PEI. Although I cannot attend in person, my heart will be with all the nominees and everyone celebrating this special occasion.

Thank you to the Golden Balangay Awards and everyone who continues to believe in and support PIACH. This nomination belongs to our entire community.

Maraming salamat po!
