Fil-core Support Group Presents....2012 Miss Caregiver Pageant Tribute to Mother Earth and Advocates for Global Peace    
Ontario-Canada
July 28, 2012
 
 
In the production  of Miss caregiver 2012, we had shown our viewers that we are more than just nannies. We showcased our special talents, creativity and our passion for what we do. Throughout the legacy of Miss Caregiver, this year is to be considered as the best one yet. With a wider venue and much more audiences we were able to send out the message of the caregiver to many. Not only was it informational it was also very entertaining.

The production number, which was choreographed by one of the past candidates of Miss Caregiver, MARY ANNE CANALES  had really presented the theme of this year being world peace very clearly and even managed to add a modern flare that made the audience want to get off their seats and dance. It was truly a wonderful way to start off the night. As the night progressed, not only were the candidates fired up but so was the crowd. As Fil-core support group has added a brand new twist to a regular pageant by adding a new portion called Creative gowns. This enabled the candidates to portray their creativity and love for earth by only using recycled material. In the end the candidates made such elegant and beautiful dresses that were enough to leave the audience in awe.

To conclude the list of dignitaries were Labor Attache’ Francisco Luna and the loyal supporter of Fil-core Support Group Mayor Dave Ryan and wife Ann of Pickering.

There were also many guest singers who had majestic voices mostly caregivers and  guest performers who really add grandeur to the whole presentation. It also recognizes the strength of ambitious caregivers who did not stop dreaming despite the difficulties, and tried to reach their goal by pursuing their education.

Not only is Fil-core  Support Group salutes  caregivers in this magnificent event, we did showcased employers by nominating 5 employers to  be  recognized as “Outstanding Employer of the Year”. This title was awarded to Mr and Mrs. Andrew Ingram, an employer hailed from Clairemont, Pickering who was chosen because of  being compliant to the Employment Standard Act of Ontario as well as  follows rules and policies set forth by the Federal  government in hiring Live-in Caregiver.

Another night of success for Fil-core Support Group.  A simple dream, to deliver a show to remember created a bar that  elevated status of caregivers in Canada.  Once again, caregivers community pulled off an enchanting event conceptualized in a very unique theme “GLOBAL PEACE with tribute to MOTHER EARTH” left  media, community leaders, dignitaries and caregivers  commend  organizer of  the professionalism, prestige and splendour of the  overall presentation. Credits given back to our 11 candidates for their dedication and commitment.

The progress of Miss Caregiver, from an aluminum foil crown to a well manufactured crown covered in real Swarovski  is not only an upgrade in prizes but also a metaphor for Fil-core Support Group. At first we were weak  and fragile,   yet managed  to  stand still and continue believing that we can make a difference. We were discouraged  by some individuals, some community leaders and   even some caregivers organization who did not support our purpose , defy our abilities and never believe of what we can become after.   Now as the real rhinestone encrusted crown entails, we are strong and indestructible. We are an important part in the caregiver community and we shall be for generation and generations to come. Reaching out to caregivers, now going farther than the Durham region we stand tall and proud. All glad to say that WE ARE CAREGIVERS and WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

It was Yuletide season, a good time for another family reunion in the Philippines.  We celebrated Christmas Eve at my brother Danny and his wife Cindy’s house.  Cindy’s sisters Annie and Bettina hosted Christmas lunch.  Our holiday meals were both delightful and generous.  It was time for some physical vacation activities.  Our destination – Coron in the province of Palawan. 

Coron is remote.  We took three modes of transportation to get there - by air, land and sea.  Our big family tour group flew from Manila to Busuanga Island just north of the island of Palawan, then rode two vans through hills and dirt roads, before taking two motor boats to reach our secluded vacation hideaway by the beach.  The skillful boatmen waded and pushed the two small crafts as we passed through shallow waters between mangroves.
