2013 St Marys Spring Festival

Spring Festival Memories  - Saturday 07 September 2013

The  PCFS staff , students with PLCAA members and friends  had an awesome experience in  the Spring Festival Parade. The warm, sunny day with a temperature of 28 degrees did not bother them as they waited patiently. The  parade started on time. The children,  dressed nicely and appropriately for their Baton Twirling performance, walked  waving those Baton sticks in rhythm  with the accompanying musical parade.  They followed well the signals of their Baton leader.



Their  attire was designed by Marie Bandayrel. On each side of the children, walked President Danny R and PCFS registrar  Divina Ibarra, both wearing a barong.




The children proudly held high both the PCFS banner and the PLCAA banner. What a lovely sight. The sense of belonging was evident.  The  PCFS teachers ( Marie Bandayrel, Lety Cunanan and Estela De Juan ) were there to support the students in their  experience  of joining  the parade.

Following the Baton performance was a parade of  PLCAA members,  PCFS teachers and parents: We were led by ever-beautiful Cora Barretto who worn a strikingly glamorous modern Filipiniana and holding a red umbrella. She was escorted by  husband Boy Barretto wearing a Barong. Such a lovely couple making us proud.







The parents: Nida Alvarez, Remy, Gina Lomigo  with Estela de Juan wearing colourful sequenced- Kimonas. Faye Laserna, Nida Hawley, Joan Villarante  and Dra Alexis featured the heavily sequenced-terno of different colours.

Different Terno designs were elegantly modeled by Marie Bandayrel, Lande E, Aida Basto escorted by Lionel Laserna wearing a barong.

We all got a good treat of professional photography by  Daryl of Kalatas. Parent  Mr.  Peter Boughton,  father of Ashley Boughton, also amazed us with his thoughtfulness of making sure we do not have difficulties in the parade, making sure we were all at the right place,  at the right time.

 So all went well. Hooray to PLCAA and PCFS.
