The Pines Association for Nursing Assistants and Caregivers, Incorporated based in Baguio City held their Christmas Party and Fundraising Event at Anchorwheel Restaurant on December 6, 2024. The following Audio-Visual Presentation (AVP) was created by yours truly.
The event was attended by University of Cordillera Strategic Consultant Atty. Paolo Salvosa, Baguio Tourism Council Chairwoman Gladys Vergara, Baguio City Councilor Leandro Yangot, Healthcare and Livelihood advocate Sol Go (wife of Representative Mark Go), Maharlika Martial Arts Academy Founder Coach Eric Kelly, Former City Councilors Elaine Sembrano (mom of Bernadette Sembrano) and Joel Alangsab, and Sejoung Korean Language Learning Academy Director WIlliam Go and his Filipino counterpart, Sir Rey Torres.
The event was hosted by yours truly. I opened the program with this:
“Merry Christmas and welcome to the Christmas Party of Pines Association of Nursing Assistants and Caregivers, Inc.! It’s truly wonderful to see so many of our dedicated members together with their family and friends gathered here tonight, ready to celebrate this special time of the year.
As we all know, the work we do every day as nursing assistants and caregivers is full of heart, compassion, and dedication. Whether we’re helping people regain their strength, providing comfort to those in need, or simply offering a caring hand when it’s most needed, we make a difference in the lives of others. We know that the holiday season can bring both joy and a little bit of stress, but as a community, we stand together, supporting each other through thick and thin. And tonight, let’s let the spirit of the season bring us peace, laughter, and lots of joy. So let’s set aside the busy schedules, the long shifts, and focus on making this a night to remember.
From all of us here at the Pines Association of Nursing Assistants and Caregivers, Inc., we want to express our deepest gratitude for all the hard work, love, and care you give every single day. You are the heart of our mission, and tonight, it’s time to celebrate you—because you truly deserve it. This evening is for you to relax, enjoy each other’s company, and most importantly, have fun!“
Just like any Christmas Party, the event was filled with fun, delicious food, parlor games, and Christmas carol. Special guests delivered their inspirational speeches to the hardworking Cordilleran nursing assistants and caregivers. To add excitement, the Best Santa Outfit was selected from among the attendees. Another anticipated segment of the program was the raffle draw, wherein tickets were sold for fundraising purposes.
PANACI is headed by its association President, Sheryn “Shei” Telles.
The event was covered and featured in PTV Cordillera.
