This year, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is celebrating its 50 years in the Philippines. Last month, Metro Manila stakes celebrated their Jubilee presentation at Araneta Coliseum last April 30, 2011, which was aired throughout the entire Philippines. It was a grand cultural celebration with an enormous number of participants. I really enjoyed it because there were all so bright and beautiful! The costumes, the dances, the songs, the vibrant spirits of the adults, youth, and especially those adorable children, who would happen to shy away or be delightful to see their faces in the big screen. Their energy bubble was infectious that it also filled the hall where we were watching. It was a tremendous and spectacular event which was also followed by a wonderful Special Conference the following day. I loved it!
Last May 14, the rest of the stakes in the Philippines celebrated their own Jubilee and below are some photos from the Cebu Central and Cebu City Stakes' Jubilee Celebration which I am part of. (Now, this was the event I've been talking about last month which I was busy with).
Yay! It was a success! All the preparation was worth it. Awww, it just reminds me of last year's Cultural Celebration during the Cebu Temple Dedication. :') And to end this, here are a few more photos with my favorite friends.
And an incomplete family photo, this is the best that I can show! (My brother, Aaron is serving a full time mission while my little sister, Laura is out already having dinner. Hee!)
It's an amazing thing to be part of this Jubilee celebration! Because the next might be fifty years from now which will already be a centennial one and it's not about the celebration actually, it's those good changes that have been brought to pass in those fifty years. And as we live everyday, lets change and be better than yesterday and continue to be an influence for good in the world. :)
