Maligayang Pasko!

On Monday, December 8th, we at the Filipino American Society of Architects and Engineers of Southern California (FASAE SoCal) hosted our annual Holiday Gathering for our 4th Quarter General Membership Meeting.

We were welcomed into the beautifully Disney-themed, Christmas-decorated home of our Corresponding Secretary Emerita Jalandra!

This intimate end-of-year celebration was filled with laughter, gratitude, and reflections on the blessings and challenges we’ve overcome—shared together in a heartfelt toast.

We had a blast with our White Elephant gift exchange, complete with good-natured steals and dramatic surprises!

And of course—true to any Filipino gathering—there was plenty of food to enjoy and even more to take home.

Thank you to everyone who attended and to those who helped with setup and cleanup! And to those who couldn’t make it and contributed— we miss you all!

Special thanks to our Holiday Party committee members, Emerita Jalandra and Jacklyn Smith, for co-leading the planning and details of this wonderful evening.
