    Barrio Fiesta sa London....2017

    STATEMENT ON THE 2017 33rd BARRIO FIESTA SA LONDON
    Recent terrorist attacks in the UK heightened the risks associated in any event. Safety is of paramount importance to us and given the high profile and public nature of the annual Barrio Fiesta sa London, it is with regret that we made the tough decision to call off the outdoor, on-ground festivities of the event on July 15 and 16, 2017 at the Apps Court Farm on Walton-On-Thames, Surrey.
    However, we, in the Philippine Centre, believe that the spirit of Filipino pride, culture and solidarity must continue to be celebrated even if expressed in other ways. We will steadfastly support initiatives that promote our unique heritage and world-class Filipino talent. The Barrio Fiesta sa London, in the end, remains a solid Filipino tradition that we will observe and honor for years to come with our partners and with the overseas Filipino community that we serve.
    Details of the celebration of the 33rd Barrio Fiesta will follow.
    We thank you all for your continued trust and understanding.
    Philippine Centre



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    Strange that as the Morden one was called off as well although they were upfront and said they were not prepared to pay the extra costs being asked.

    I remember at Lambton park when some enterprising ladies of the Philippine persuasion decided to try and charge entry through one of the gates till a friendly policeman told them we call parks in the uk PUBLIC for a reason Cutting off their nose to spite their face if its to do with costs as I am sure they make a peso or two,this would have been the 33'rd barrio fiesta,if they didn't lavish so much on bringing superstar/megastars over they would save a fortune.
