FIESTA FILIPINO - 2014 LAS VEGAS NEVADA

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
