PHL Embassy in Brasilia Celebrates Edsa 29th Anniversary

 About 70 guests, including Filipinos, Brazilians and members of the diplomatic community, joined the celebration of the 29th Anniversary of the People Power Revolution hosted by the Philippine Embassy in Brasilia on February 22 at the Bahay Pilipino, the ambassador’s official residence.

In his welcome remarks and in line with this year's theme, "Ituloy ang Pagbabago," Third Secretary and Vice Consul Eric P. Valenzuela, Chargé d'affaires, appealed to the Filipino community to remain vigilant and to reject indifference as the nation's fight against corruption and the pursuit of lasting peace continue.

Members of the Filipino Association of Brasilia and the Kingdom of Jesus Christ in Goiania sang "Handong ng Pilipino sa Mundo (The Filipinos' Gift to the World)" while non-Filipino guests tried to sing along using the Tagalog and English lyrics given them.

The guests were treated to Filipino dishes such as pancit bihon, arroz caldo, lumpiang sariwa, ukoy, ginataang bilo-bilo and brazo de mercedes, among others, prepared by Fiesta Philippines, frequent caterer to Embassy events.

In keeping with Embassy tradition, the afternoon's celebration ended with Filipinos and guests taking turns at the videoke machine.
