    What a colorful gathering with so many young talents on the stage displaying their very best to the audience. How come so many seats are empty for such an auspicious occasion? Where are the nuns and the priests? Where are the parents and family members of so many contestants?

    Contests such as these need an all-out support from the community. This is one way to encourage the youth to come forward and devote their time and talents for worthy causes.

    We have had the opportunity of attending some of these contests and we were truly thrilled with the performance. We must somehow fill up the audience in order to motive the contestants to come forward in a larger number year after year.

    Meanwhile congratulations to all those that were instrumental in organizing this Show.
