... thanks to an invitation from a Filipina friend of Myrna's, she and I had the pleasure of attending this event (held the last Saturday of July) at the weekend.

... GREAT day out, it was too - the third gathering of its kind to be hosted in the aptly~named modern church premises of the Fair City's Riverside Church on the banks of Scotland's longest inland waterway, the Tay - attracting several hundred Filipinos of all ages living locally.

Aside from copious amounts of mouthwatering Asian delicacies (including lechon from a very LARGE spit~roasted pig) with, of course, plenty refreshing soft drinks to wash it all down, there was much~enjoyed family entertainment, consisting of singing, dancing ... and even a tug o' war to cater for the more energetic types.
