The Bayanihan Spirit, Humanitarian Kindness, and  Compassion for our Kababayans are Alive and Well in  the Filipino American Community of Las Vegas!

Filipino American Community Leaders, led by Dr. Daniel Fabito, President of  Philippine American Association of Nevada, met at Cafe De Manila to organize a  Joint Fundraising Project to benefit the victims of Super Typhoon Rolly in the  Bicol Region of the Philippines. 

A day after Super Typhoon Rolly pummeled the Bicol region, the Department of  Energy (DOE) reported that consumers in the severely battered provinces of  Albay, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Sorsogon, and Catanduanes are still  agonizing from total blackouts. 

The Fundraising Project was finalized at Cafe De Manila, where various efforts  were sent into place in order to help support the Victims of Super Typhoon Rolly  and Typhoon Ulysses in the Bicol Region of the Philippines. This fundraising  project is sponsored by PAAN and PACF, spearheaded by Dr. Daniel Fabito,  President of PAAN and Luz Micabalo, President PACF and will certainly attain its  goals to help the Filipinos. The other Filipino American Community Leaders in  attendance were Bennie Benito, Adviser, NAFFAA, Executive Director, NAFFAA  Region XI, PAAN Adviser and Connnie Connie Benito, FACAI. We also had their  president and vice president, Asela Engel and Olympia Ramones, respectively in  attendance. Adding strength to the effort were Cavite Association of Nevada  President Ruel Rodrigues and Bikolnon Association of Las Vegas member  Marilyn Ante. I was also, yours truly, Salve Vargas Edelman, representing  RAPACD as its Founder and President, Las Vegas Twin Lakes Lions Club

Charter President, and COTB National President as well as in my capacity as  Executive Director and Curator of the Filipino American Heritage and Arts  Museum.  

One of our projects involve a fundraising activity in partnership with the Rotary  Club of Manila Archangel Premier. Below is the official poster for our Benefit  Show.
