FIESTA FILIPINO 2014, held it's 6th annual fiesta event at the Lorenzi Park in Las Vegas.
The event featured local and international entertainers and was participated by several multi cultural group from the Hispanic community to the Hawaiian Islanders and from the Philippines, the delegation from Cebu accompanied by the beautiful Miss Cebu herself. The event was also attended by politicians, notably the guest speaker Senator Harry Reid who has been in relation with the Filipino community from as far back as I could remember. So close to the Pinoys in Las Vegas that he was even endorsed by Manny Pacquiao in his last bid for re-election. Another darling to the Pinoys in Las Vegas is our very own the Honorable JUDGE CHERYL MOSS who has been serving the Las Vegas community since 2001 as a Family Court Judge, is seeking for her re-election in in November 2014, since she does not have a primary. If you want to find more about Judge Moss she has a this is her website www.judgecherylmoss.us/ and on Facebook Re-Elect Judge Cheryl Moss. Sheriff candidate Ted Moody, was also on hand at the event who by the way also had a booth. He went around meeting the community and got up on the stage and opened up with "Magandang Hapon po" and closed his short talk with "Salamat po". Then we have another Filipino running for the State Assembly Mr. Joe Tinio, whom I have personally urged in the past to run for office. Then there is Ron Q. Quilang who is running for State Senator and to all of the Pinoy candidate, good luck to all and to the Filipino community, let us support our Pinoy candidates. As to the organizers of the FIESTA FILIPINO,NAFFAA congratulations to a good job
well done. You have again awaken the spirit of the Filipinos and exhibited the culture of the
Filipinos and kept alive in the hearts and in the young minds of our young Filipino Americans,
what they are as a race and what they can look forward to as Filipinos. Though we tend to
blend to our community that we forget we are pinoys, there are people and organizations
like NAFFAA who keeps reminding all of us, we are Filipinos. Quoting from Florante
