In congruent with their annual beauty pageant, Fesscor Talent Center Performing Arts Group in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia finally opens, long and wide, their doors for Filipino male and female applicants who are interested to vie for the title of Mr. & Ms. Philippines-Saudi Arabia 2010. 
 
According to Fesscor Productions headed by Art Basilio Capulong, “This event, though full of glitz and glamour, is a fund raising drive for the benefit of the neglected street children and our less fortunate ‘kababayan’ back home through the Gawad Kalinga Foundation in the Philippines.   The group added, “This project aims to foster goodwill while simultaneously strengthen the very foundation of a caring human society as it highlights a deep and strong universal message:  That there is happiness and fulfillment in sharing with others the blessings we receive.” 
 
Mr. & Ms. Philippines-Saudi Arabia 2010 Kingdom-wide Search is open to all amateurs, male and female Filipino citizen; between 15 to 27 years old; currently employed in the Kingdom, or enrolled in any educational institutions; at least 5’4” for female and 5’6” for male; articulate; with pleasing personality and of good moral character.  Likewise, Filipinos who have dual-citizenship (i.e. Filipino/Canadian and vice versa) may as well join the competition.
 
This free-admission-event will be staged on 11^th November (Pre-pageant Night) and 12^th November (Coronation/Final Night) at the Liwasang Bonifacio, Embassy of the Philippines in Saudi Arabia.  VIP Guests include Mr. Fanny Serrano, who will travel to Saudi Arabia upon the invitation of Mr. Saeed Mohammed Al-Atif, GM of White Crystal Establishment for Marketing Services to personally witness the event; Philippine Embassy officials and foreign dignitaries;  various Filipino artists and a number of Filipino and international community groups.
