Movie Night!

Email by Jay Catalan

Pssssssst!

Just want to send everyone a quick update on what's been going on. As RJ mentioned, we now have an instructor on board for Tagalog lessons and he is currently at work on the  curriculum. We'd like to make it as fun and participatory as possible, and it looks like it should be ready around mid-August. 

In the interim, we'd like to put on something fun and easy. There was a lot of excitement last time about having a Movie Night, so let's do it!

We're still working on a permanent website, but in the meantime join the Facebook page below and suggest movies you'd like to see!

We're thinking next week, July 31st, 7:30pm.

Can't wait to see everyone's suggestions online :)

Ingats!

P.S. Babette's dance group is participating in tonight's Luminares Festival at the W2 Storyeum in Gastown. I believe her group will be performing between 4 to 5, just follow the sounds of drums and gongs. I'll be there to check it out, so I'll see y'all if you can make it! 

DID YOU KNOW: The first Filipino-produced film, "La Vida de Rizal" was released in 1912. Jose Nepomuceno produced the first Filipino full-length film "Dalagang Bukid" in 1919.

Obviously, the time mentioned in the original post has passed. I apologize I'm now just updating this but the movie night has been moved to August 7th @ 7pm.

Here's a link to our discussion page on Facebook where we're collecting suggestions on what to watch:
