Filipino festival time!

As we know my daddy is some news dork on The Filipino Channel. So he's involved in a lot of Filipino stuff and this year he took me to the Festival of Philippine Arts and Culture also known as FPAC. It's the first time they held it in Los Angeles so I was excited to see what Grand Park and City Hall are like.  

 

Yup daddy put me to work as a newshound on a 100 degree day. 

All in all it was actually a fun day. Lots of Filipino things like entertainment and food and stuff and learning things. I enjoyed myself. The festival itself was 23 years old and is a way for the Filipino community to celebrate it's culture. At the time there wasn't too many active Filipinos in the community, so a few leaders thought it would be a good idea to have the event that entertains and educates and helps build future leaders. 

I finally got to meet some of my Facebook likers and daddy's friends. Like Janet and Ruben Nepales from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. It was like Pulgoso the Golden retriever meets the Golden Globes. 

Tito Ruben also has this picture on his FB with Rhea who drives the Neri's Curbside Cravings truck that has tocino burgers. She was cool cuz she smelled like silog! Too bad they ran out by the time we saw them. 

(It's that lady in the middle's fault daddy has bistek burger breath sometimes!!!)

And Tita Kat from Bakit Why. But she didn't bring Snowy and Bibinka :(

(Got this pic from Kat's FB)

And also Ninja Realtor Tita Mia McCleod! Her baby Annie also goes to Doc Felix Lapuz. 

And daddy's friend Mr. Palma was at the veteranairan booth and took this picture. Pulgoso should be a dog food model! 

The park itself was great. Very scenic and I like how I can listen to music at the FPAC stage while I roam the dog park. 

And the water fountain alllll the way at the top was also lovely. Too bad puppies can go swimming. But snuck on the tubig enough to get my kamays wet. 

It even changes color!!!

Pulgoso had a grand old time at FPAC in Grand Park! I learned what it's like to be a Filipino! I want to chew on the arnis stick. Hopefully next year it won't be super hot and we can go more and meet more of daddy's Filipino friends!
