As a first time sponsor, PAL is giving away a round trip ticket Sydney-Manila-Sydney to the winner of the Charity Raffle while Phirst Park is providing cash sponsorship donation. Mrs. Santos hopes that with PAL coming on board, it would be a start of a wonderful relationship between FACAES and Asia’s First Airline and the Philippine’s Flag carrier.
On the other hand, Mrs. Santos thank Ms. Fel Martinez of Phirst Park Homes who is supporting FACAES 2nd Filipino Fiesta in Randwick for the first time. Mrs. Santos likewise looks forward for Phirst Park Homes to continue supporting FACAES in furtherance of one of their goals “In Service of the Community”.
