Guests from near and far, carrying delicious dishes and sweets to share, gathered at Philippine House to celebrate the spirit of giving.
The event was honoured by the presence of distinguished guests, including Consul Jan Sherwin Wenceslao (representing Consul General Maria Lourdes Salcedo), accompanied by his wife Cecil and son James.
Other esteemed attendees included Lady Imelda McLean, Lady Josephine Quintero, Lady Felicitas (Nini) Jover, Sir Walter Villagonzalo, Sir Rob Quintero and Sir Paul Mascarenas.
Local special guests Mariola Nebiu and Leigh Johnson also graced the occasion.
The celebration was filled with vibrant dance performances, fun games for all ages and heartwarming moments of community spirit.
Young children gleefully bounced on the free jumping castle, while everyone enjoyed a surprise visit from Santa Claus and Mrs Claus, spreading extra holiday cheer.
The joyful spirit of bayanihan shone brightly as families shared food, laughter and festive fun, making this Christmas gathering truly memorable.
On behalf of the FAFA committees, from the bottom of our hearts, we extend the most beautiful Christmas greetings to everyone.
We deeply thank you for your continued support of FAFA in every way.
See you all next year — safe, sound and refreshed!
