What a great turnout! Thank you all for making our Know My Culture: Philippines a successful event! We love celebrating Christmas in October, with a ton of amazing food (with NO leftovers), so much fun singing Christmas carols (led by Raul Pesirla), making parols and the new friendships and connections made!
We definitely explored how the Philippines celebrate Christmas! The Philippines celebrates the world's longest Christmas season, starting on September 1st and lasting until the Feast of the Three Kings on January 6th.

Thank you for all that helped setup, served food and cleaned up afterwards. We truly appreciate all the very talented cooks that made some Filipino delicacies including Auntie Jade's Catering, JOMO HOUSE , Michel Pesirla, Merlynde B. Pesirla and Tita Helen Salazar!

This free event was an immersive cultural learning experience of the history of the Filipinos. The presentation was done by Joan Klein.
