It took me some time to craft this post because I'm overwhelmed with so much gratitude in my heart. The philippine flair coalition's 16th edition of PFW event has been a huge challenge for me & for all of us, and many crucial decisions had to be made along the way. But now that I look back at it all, I realized that God is always truly good to us, and has kept us together all throughout the entire preparations & actual event. He blessed us with a lot of wonderful people who kept their faith, helped, inspired and supported us just to make PFW 2026 possible and still turn out to be a success (despite of our busy schedule).
Our sincerest gratitude first and foremost, to the schools, deans, teachers coaches, mentors & parents of our finalist. We might have been doing this for 15 years now, but we know it still doesn't get easier for all of you. Thank you for the constant support despite the sacrifices you had to bear because of the many demands required from the students. Thank you for trusting that we will always do what's good for them. Your love and support make us who we are today, and we hope that we continue to make you proud with what they have become as persons, and as a professionals. Thank you for believing that we can always do better. Maraming-marami pong Salamat mga ma'am and sir .
To our amazing and generous sponsors, we thank you all so so much. Know that the entire show wouldn't be made possible without all of you. You helped us in more ways than you can ever imagine. Thank you to our event partners,

Insert Mr. Jhun Ryan Ceniza and Ms. Lei Salamat for granting my request na makita kayo sa PFW 2026.
To my friends in the industry.You are the core of my passion, and I thank you for being with me all the time when I need your moral support. Sa mga times na parang wala ng ptutunguhan yun mga gngwa ko Dahil maraming nag-dedeclined na sponsors at mga nagku-quit na participants lagi nyong snsbe Na Kya ko lagi.
This 2026 edition of philippine flair wars is my favorite one indeed. Dahil halos lht ng needs ng finalist sa event at ng mismong event focus ako despite of my commitments sa ibat-ibang trabaho, sinikap kong maitawid ito Kahit madaming nag-declined sa akin. Sinisikap kong unawain pero, Ang hirap. Kaya tahimik Na nag-trabaho nalang ako pra maitawid ito.Dahil naaapektuhan ng negativities yung ex*****on ko for ths event. Sabe ko nga sige! "kung mapapagod lang din ako, e yung sulit na!"people always saying magpahinga ka nmn regie! Pero , wla akong ibang alam n paraan na mgagawa sa salitang yon. Hindi ko alam, pero gusto ko talaga organized kapag event ng pfc.
Walang perpektong event, hindi perpekto ang PFC at ako pero alam ko ginawa namin yung pinaka makakaya naming lahat upang bigyan kayo ng patas at magandang event.
Sobrang haba na nito but I feel that it is still not enough to express how thankful I am. All is well, and everything is definitely worth it. This one's for God's greater glory! Salamat salamat!!! โค๏ธ
With love,
Regie Mangahas & PFC
