commitment and huge contribution to the success of our recent trip to Michigan,
United States in support to ALL energetic and athletic YOUTH of North York Pinoy
Athletic Association (“NYPAA”) who competed in the 21st NABA Tournament. These
boys have given generously much of their time and energy to ensure the success
of their teams, each one of them has exemplified exceptionally strong leadership
and camaraderie, and I hope that you will join me in sincerely thanking and
congratulating them all for their contribution and personal success. Each one
of them moves on to very different and challenging responsibilities, building
on the great experience they have gained over the past few months of practice.
Each of them has the solid support of their respective coaches, who worked hard
training, practicing and mostly mentoring the teams prior to the big event.
I would say this is just a great combination of coaches and players with enormous
support from parents and volunteers. 
By
working side by side, although tired from the long-drive, we were able to make
the Friday night buffet very welcoming and as a result, literally broke the
ice among us all. As you know, we had the Casino fundraising a week earlier
to cover the cost of the catering, nevertheless other parents still brought
in some dishes from Toronto to contribute to this banquet, very much appreciated.
After dinner, while most parents stayed in the banquet hall to put a heads up
for the next day, the bonding continued by the pool and by the basketball court
within the hotel premises so that by Saturday morning we all emerged from that
hotel as one big happy family. Thanks also to the Holiday Inn – Troy for it
has ideally provided and accommodated all our needs while away from home. 
basketball
is awesome and the amazing people associated who put the teams together are
irreplaceable. To the coaches, you guys are truly something special, definitely
one of the best! And to all players, it sure has been one heck of an unforgettable
ride! Very much different during practices where it was laid back allowing some
quiet times and just have fun. You guys rock! 
Special
note of thanks to following: Bebot Silva, although unable to join us this trip,
for sending off our kids with positive and enjoyable experience of learning
and competing in the great sport of basketball, win or loss, be happy! Malou
Silva who is always behind the scene ensuring all paperwork are up to date and
her assistant Evelyn Alog, who’s picking up real fast. The Cunanan Family for
providing the caterer, the food, super! Thanks much to all carpools and weekend
proxy parents. All parents ensuring the players are well fed and energized for
the next game yet someone has forgotten to read the sign “Do not feed the bears!”
Those mama bears and papa bears were sure fully loaded and charged for bouts
of cheering during games after games. What an excitement! At the end of the
day when everyone just surrendered to exhaustion, thanks to Pardinas Family
for the pizza dinner while being entertained by our very own stand-in comedian
Sandra Pebenito. You may visit her and get her autograph at Yuk-Yuk’s (call
her first for show time at 416-967-1111, sounds familiar?). 
positive
and enjoyable experience of learning and competing in the great sport of basketball.
We believe that every person is important and deserves the respect and consideration
of others. With this in mind, A big congratulations to the project team: Bob
San Juan, Bebot & Malou Silva, Ed Sotto and Roger Tarca, Evelyn Alog, Josie
Osalvo, Tim Sinclair for another successful clinic and inhouse programs, impressively
on time this year! 
And
how can we possibly forget the little girl with a great big voice, Sheena Marie
Yadao, who stole the show at the Mabuhay Cup opening, then she’s done it again
at the Antibes 3on3/Multicultural Festival. Here’s another star in the making.
To the lovely Reichel Siscar for representing Miss NYPAA in the Mabuhay Cup
and NABA tournaments and her little aide Erin Mae Acevedo and to Nicole Tingson
Miss NYPAA at the NABA-GTA, stay sweet and keep smiling! 
the
City of Toronto Parks and Recreation for providing the training and practice
facilities. To all our committed volunteer coaches and managers, who have been
excellent role models to our youth by teaching and encouraging the development
of basketball skills and to demonstrate the principles of sportsmanship, self-discipline
and what teamwork is all about. 
Congratulations
to one of our lucky supporters who hit the $36,000 jackpot at a $0.25 slot machine
(already a millionaire in Philippine pesos), on our last Casino Rama fundraising
and another lucky $4,000 winner early this year. Both winners are from Mascot
group (Bathurst & Finch). So whenever we send out an invitation to a casino
fundraising, please join us. Not only support a good cause, you'll never know,
the next Filipino millionaire could be you!

ordeal with a new perspective in life. You are an inspiration, Jhun Tan, we
all salute you!
