The CPFA Staff and Volunteers went to the Nagoya International Center, Annex Hall to prepare the area for the 26th Philippine Festival in Nagoya. They transformed the Hall, and made it look and feel like the Philippines. Complete with little festival flags, posters and pictures. Everyone worked hard, and the result was beautiful.
The booths were set-up, and a few of the sponsors came and fixed their area, each one making their area appealing to the many Filipinos expected to arrive the next day.
Participants for the Chubu Queen and Princess presentation were also present, to rehearse their performances, they were ably directed by Ms. Marita Castaneda, CPFA President.
The CPFA Staff also made panels, highlighting the activities of CPFA, and showing the sponsors of the event, plus the raffle prizes that everyone is looking forward to winning on the day of the event. The panels turned out quite attractive and colorful, special thanks to CPFA Members, Ms. Manami Yamada and Mr. Yuuki Kobayashi.
The volunteers also worked hard in setting up the chairs, tables and boards. They were coordinated by Mr. Mitsumasa Taniguchi, CPFA Member.
Special thanks also goes out to the Ikebana International, for the beautiful flower arrangement for the event, they were contacted by Mrs. Linda Taki, CPFA Chairman, who also happens to be a member of Ikebana International.
The preparations were finished on time, if a little giri-giri. And the staff and volunteers went home to rest and prepare for the big event the following day.
CPFA send its THANKS to the MANY VOLUNTEERS!
