Photolakad 2017

​Mga Isko at Iska!

​Get it while its is hot! We mean, the sunshine!

Join us for this year's PHOTOLAKAD 2017. Photolakad is a UPAABC activity that aims to bring us together and enjoy an activity we all love - KODAKAN!📸


We will meet at the A-maze-ing Laughter Statues at Morton Park near English Bay at 10 AM, on August 5, Saturday, and photograph our way to Granville Island where we will finish our trip.


THEME: VANCOUVER SEAWALL IMAGES IN COLOUR
Picture
Photos will be taken from the Seawall, like scenery, structures such as buildings, Science World, Inukshuk, laughing statues, people, etc.


A good photographic image will always stand out among different categories. For example - a toddler trying to catch a ball and laughing like crazy, elderly couple holding hands while watching the scenery, a paddle boater dwarfed by a monster tanker, stone formations on the seawall, the crowd of shoppers in Granville Market, dragon boaters with Science World behind them, etc. We will consider these examples as copyrighted, so you have to think of your own images! :-)


There are plenty of photo opportunities on the Photolakad route. You just have to use your eyes and be creative.


Winners will be chosen by our distinguished UPAABC founders and respected artists and will be presented during our Christmas Party and AGM on November 25, 2017 at Van Dusen Gardens. Winners get a print copy of their work, as well as bragging rights! 😎

Tito Bert Quibuyen is Chief Organizer of this activity. Thanks Tito Bert!

See you all there

Mga Kapatid,

Maraming salamat po sa pagtingkilik ninyong lahat sa “Harana, Kundiman, Balagtasan, Tula at Sayawan – Ikatlong Yugto”. Marami pong mga panauhin ang nagalak at natuwa sa kanilang mga natutunan, at sila rin ay nasiyahan sa mga bilang ng tula, balagtasan, kantahan at sayawan.

Nagpapasalamat po kami ng lubos sa ating mga kapita-pitagang mga miyembro na nagbigay ng kanilang oras as angking talento sa palatuntunan - Charen Divina Cusi, Tony Aytona, Melvin Magno, Arthur Fabian, Irene Querubin, Cee Belg, UPAABC Choir sa pamumuno ni Teacher Ruby M. Cortes, Athena Adan, at ang ating mga guro ng palatuntunan na sina Thess Reyes Zamora at Paula Aurora Nuarin. Taos-puso rin kaming nagpapasalamat kay Luis Molina Pedroso at ang kanyang maybahay na si Reah, sa tulong na iniabot din nila, pati na rin kay Leonore Lim.

Lugod kaming nagpapsalamat din sa ating miyembro na si Sony Obregon, na kabilang sa Kwantlen Polytechnic University Languages and Culture Department, na siyang nagbigay-daan sa pakikipag-ugnayan ng ating samahan sa KPU. Salamat din sa ating miyembro na si Consul Cham Guevara, at ang kanyang mga tauhan sa Philippine Consulate General sa kanilang paglathala ng mga yamang kultural ng Pilipinas.

Sabay na rin ang pasasalamat namin sa mga panauhing nagbigay din ng kanilang oras upang mapalaganap natin ang ating kultura at salita - si Rosielle Facun, G. Leni at Gng. Lettie Arboleda, Mayo Landicho, Alex Anayas, Gng Anita Aguirre-Nieveras at ang New Life Dancers ni Aida Canonigo at Irene Nazaire Aquino.
At sa ating mga tagapang-tangkilik, ang Cabalen Sweets, Quik Bite Restaurant at ang Ria Padala ni Gigi Astudillo, pati na rin ang UFCABC sa pamumuno ni G. Joel Castillo.
Sa pamamagitan ng ating palatuntunan ay nagkaroon lalo ng malawak na kaalaman ang mga taga-Vancouver tungkol sa yamang kultural ng ating bansa. Nawa'y maging magandang hakbang ito sa pagkakaisa at pagpapahalaga sa ating mga Pilipino dito sa ating lupang napiling lipatan.
Maraming maraming salamat po, at magkita po tayong muli sa susunod na taon.

Dios mabalos!

UPAABC Execom 2017-2019

The University of the Philippines Alumni Association in BC, in cooperation with The Philippine Consulate General in Vancouver, and the Languages Department of Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) presents -  The Philippine Languages in Song, Serenade, Debate,  Poetry and Dance – Third Chapter (“Harana, Kundiman, Balagtasan, Tula at Sayawan – Ikatlong Yugto”). The event will be held at the Melville Centre of KPU Richmond Campus on June 24, Saturday, from 2-4 PM.

​This event is a first for UPAABC and KPU, and this a cultural exchange that will allow the Filipino culture and languages to be made known to Filipinos and other cultures that make up the multicultural fabric that is Canada. This is a chance to display and feature our own diverse culture to the people of Vancouver through this exchange, and do it through music, song, art and food.

Rediscover your roots with poetry, songs and dances in the different dialects, and enjoy an actual Balagtasan unfold before your very eyes!

Come join us and let's show Vancouver the rich diversity of the place we call HOME!

God bless you!

HONOUR & EXCELLENCE!

Skagit Valley Tulip Festival

4/5/2011

Hi everyone!  

The Skagit Valley Tulip Festival is coming up in a couple of weeks. Check out their website at www.tulipfestival.org for information. 

It's an easy drive from Vancouver and once you get there, you'll be rewarded with endless vistas of colorful tulips in many different varieties. After taking in the tulips, on your way back home you can either have dinner at Tulalip Casino (farther south on I-5) or at Silver Reef Casino just south of Bellingham. By the way, if you're into shopping, there's a factory outlet mall next to Tulalip Casino.  

Bert
