LOTS of stories to tell you guys, but before anything else I suggest that you mark November 22 in your calendars. It’s the final presentation of Reflections, the longest-running Filipino-American award-giving body. Yes, you heard me right, the last year of Reflections! A lot of friends asked my why I had to pull the curtains down on this much-awaited and celebrated social event in Southern California. And I always say, I followed my heart’s desire. After 20 long years, it is time to take a much- needed break. But who knows, bigger and better presentations might just spring up! Allow me to express my gratitude to all sponsors, distinguished guests and my staff who unselfishly supported me and my projects through the years. And for its final bow, expect the 20th Reflections to be the most glamorous ever—that I promise! The dress code is purple, green, or black with purple and green accents.
