What a day to remember! The UPAA-W family brought the Philippine spirit to Greendale last Sunday, June 22, 2025, with our much-anticipated Barrio Fiesta — and what a fiesta it was!
From the moment guests arrived at Dr. Joey Abad Santos’s house, the air was filled with laughter, chatter, and the irresistible aroma of Filipino cuisine. The potluck table overflowed with delicious dishes like fresh lumpia, pancit bihon, ube cake, and chocolate cake — each one lovingly prepared and shared by everyone.

The event was more than just a party — it was a joyful reunion of old friends and new faces, united by shared heritage and warm memories. Thank you to everyone who brought a dish, shared a story, and helped make this gathering truly unforgettable.
Special thanks to Dr. Joey S. Abad Santos and family for coordinating and hosting the potluck and to all the volunteers who made the day run smoothly.
‘Til next year — tara na ulit! Kain tayo, kwentuhan, at magsaya!
