FIESTA FILIPINAS 2012

It seem like only yesterday when the first Fiesta Filipinas happened and here we are again gearing up to {as evident by last years success} a much more successful event with perhaps doubling up our exhibitors and sponsors to this event. The potentials for public exposure was such that the politicians with the likes of Andrea Horwath NDP leader, the mayor then Fred Eisenberger, MPP Dave Christopherson, Councilor Tom Jackson, Tyler Banham  made themselves available with gracious praises to the success of this event. Definitely they will avail themselves again in May 27th, 2012.

	MISS FIESTA FILIPINAS TALENT NIGHT AT THE HFCC The evening was abuzz with people wanting to see what this years candidates have to offer. A talent show is an event where participants perform their talent or talents of acting, singing, dancing, acrobatics, playin an instrument, and other activities to showcase their unique form of talent, for a reward, trophy or prize and leading to a much desired title as in this case Miss Fiesta Filipinas 2012.  In recent times, talent shows have become a notable genre of reality television, such as Idol, and The X Factor, which were critical in catapulting some amateur artists to stardom, and commercially successful careers. Could we produce this type of talent from this years candidates? Find out at the Fiesta Filipinas search on May 27th 2012 at Hill Park Secondary school.

	SINGING CONTEST AT THE HFCC In the early stage of searching for an entertaining factor for the upcoming Fiesta Filipinas, the first stage was the Talent Show last April 27th at the HFCC. The qualifiers are from L-R: Nicole Sison, Precious Glancayas and Shairah Garrido. Helping Jung was Mariewin Lorenzo the emcee of the evening. It was surprisingly a very good evening, too bad only a handful showed up.  View the EVENT here.

	DID YOU KNOW? Since May of 2010 the HFCC joined the cyber world via the YouTube courtesy of our Social and Special Projects Director Gaspar Aberilla. HFCCITV was spawned by the first Fiesta Filipinas celebration in Hamilton held at the Hill Park Secondary School on May 31st.  That whole day affair was comprised of singing competition, folk dancing from the Philippine Heritage School et al, culminating with the selection of Miss Fiesta Filipina 2010. (click on LOGO to Connect to HFCCITV)   This was also the first sign that this is an election year evidenced by the presence of politicians by the likes of Mayor Fred Eisenberger, Counselor Tom Jackson, MPP Chris Charlton, David Christopherson MP and NDP Leader Ms Andrea Horwath MP. Consul Gen. Minerva Jean Falcon was also in attendance to open the ceremonies.
