SAMAPI Officers' Induction Night



SAMAPI banner (gawa ni Ben and ni Papa)


Actually this is a late post, it happened two weeks ago. So here's the story:

Since my father is one of the SAMAPI Officers our family presence was there, it's a complete family attendance. lol! So like i've said they gave me a task for that night, which is being a "receptionist", I handle the membership registration. We got 28 new members, and it was great because even if it's $5.00 each they still sign up, I know that they really like the new set of officers, even me.. lol!
We arrived there at 6:00pm, I was with highschool girls, they are daughters of some SAMAPI officers, it was Ate Daden, Kim & Kaye(Tita Olivet's), Bianca (Tita Margie's), Alisha (Tito Boying's) and I (Roman's daughter). hehehe!!!

The event was very successful, compared it from the previous year and events that former SAMAPI Officers organized. It seems that many of us we're shocked but happy to see that the Philippine Embassy was full of Filipinos, some are representative of Filipino community in Siem Reap and Sihanoukville. It was really nice to see that the event was so successful!

So part of the program are the speeches of people. and the main highlight is the induction or panunumpa in Tagalog. Just to respect those people speaking on the small stage, the dinner was served after their speech. As per tradition on the party after dinner followed by drinking, since the drinks was free nag-enjoy ang mga guys eventhough they have basketball game early in the morning on the next day. lol!
