they are not all members of the

is not. Not all of the 1000 FilipinOs

Refreshments were served after
the program.
In an interview for the Filipino
Forum, Consul BisnGr has the fol
lowing to say:
I'VE do not have a Filipino com
munity in Vancouver or anywhere
else in Canada and Canadian, as d
ruls, do not have any idea of our
country, its people and much less
its culture. This program, there
fore, did a lot to acquaint the
people here of our country, its in
stitutiOns, and part of its culture.
That was the first time that our
guests ever saw and heard Filipino
folk dances and music.
Following the reception, 81 re-
ceived numerous telephone calls
and letters from many of the
guests telling me of their CRATE
fitness for having been invited to
it and for the opportunity of wit
Messing the graceful Filipino folk
dances and hearing our native
music. Many were vocal of their
praises for our having set a uni
que and high standard of celebrat-
ing a national anniversary which
they believed was worth of COM
mendation and emulation"
The participants in the program,
except Mrs. Penaranda, all came
from Seattle, and Consul Bisnar
wishes to express through the
Forum his gratitude to the Filipino
in Seattle for the CO
operation which it had extended in
making the celebration a success,
and to the participants themselves
who made great sacrifices of their
time in preparing for their respee-
tive numbers, and in finally coming
over to Vancouver to help celebrate.
the occasion.

planned, our thanks to Mr. Ern-
este Garrido, the energetic finance
officer of the Philippine Consulate
in Seattle, for helping us in con-
tacting the various participants,
his home for practice, and
