Pamana Ball 2019

I would like to congratulate Adhika Inc, Plaza Filipino Inc. and Narra Cooperative
Ltd for this fantastic initiative. It is wonderful to have such an event
like the Pamana Ball 2019, which aims to bridge the generational gap between
the present and emerging generations of Filipino-Australians, honouring
Ambassadors for Culture and Arts, as well as Youth Ambassadors. This
project is vital to ensure the continued strength of this dynamic community
for generations to come. I also congratulate the Ambassadors for Culture &
Arts as well as Youth Ambassadors, whose achievements will be honoured at
the Pamana Ball 2019.
Adhika’s educational projects in the Philippines are a testament to their
continued investment in, and support of, Filipino youth and deserve
the highest praise. I would like to applaud Plaza Filipino/Narra Co-op’s
fundraising for a cultural centre for Filipinos in Sydney. Such a project will no
doubt strengthen ties between Filipino Australians and the wider community.
This is a truly exciting chapter for Plaza Filipino and Narra Co-op and I look
forward to continuing to support both organisations into the future.
The Macarthur region is truly lucky to have such a vibrant Filipino-Australian
community, who contribute to the diversity and prosperity of our society. I
wish to thank them for their ongoing contributions to our community, well
as congratulating them for the strong emphasis placed on the role of the
family unit in our society. I again commend the goals of Pamama Ball, it is
admirable that such value is placed on the importance of culture and the arts.
I would urge everyone to support the tremendous work of Adhika, Inc, Narra
Co-op Ltd and Plaza Filipino Inc.
Yours sincerely,
Dr Mike Freelander
Federal Member for Macarthur
I am honoured to write this celebratory message for the Pamana Ball 2019.
Firstly, I congratulate the NARRA Co-Op Ltd, Plaza Filipino Inc and
Adhika Inc for their continued work throughout our community, and in
particular their efforts in organising the Pamana Ball 2019.
The Pamana Ball is a great opportunity for the community to acknowledge
and celebrate the achievements, contributions and rich culture of
the Filipino community in our region, particularly young Filipino-
Australians.
The Filipino-Australian community is one of the most vibrant, engaging
communities in our society, with a strong family-oriented focus. The
Pamana Ball 2019 allows us to take the time to celebrate this rich culture
and the benefits it brings to our nation.
The Macarthur region is one of the most diverse, multicultural
communities in all of Sydney, and the Filipino community plays an
integral role in making Campbelltown such a wonderful place to live,
work and raise a family.
Once again, I thank the NARRA Co-Op Ltd, Plaza Filipino Inc and
Adhika Inc for organising the fantastic Pamana Ball 2019.
Pagbati at salamat sa lahat ng mga kabataan.
