The Masskara Festival has always been a
high-anticipated event in the City of Smiles, Bacolod. Last October 18, 2014, Tapulanga Foundation
brought the festival to Manila, giving Manileños a taste of the Masskara
festivities.
“MassKara in Manila” was held in Strumm’s,
Bel-air Village, Makati. Guests enjoyed
a sumptuous buffet dinner consisting of potato and tuna croquettes, buttered
vegetables, Yang Chow fried rice, crispy pata, spicy beef casserole, pasta
marinara, leche flan and, of course, Bacolod City’s famous blend of chicken
inasal. Talented young musicians, Clara
and Sarah Benin, serenaded the guests during dinner. Our masters of ceremonies, Dr. Jo-an
Ledesma-Millonado and Dr. Rachel Saban-Leelin, got the crowd revved up with a
Last Group Standing Tapulanga Trivia Game.
The guests were then given the ultimate MassKara experience with
exhilarating and exciting performances by the Buganda Drum Beaters, Poi dancers
Firechill and Kazee, singer Dr. Marienella Francisco-Mallari and the Speed
Dance Company. Finally, the guests sang
and danced the night away with our live band performers, In Heat and Mulatto.
Proceeds of this
fund raising dinner party will go to Tapulanga Foundation’s college scholarship
program.
To all who supported MassKara in
Manila, we would like to express our sincerest gratitude. Madamo guid nga salamat!!!
