On Friday, May
17, Payag Restaurant, in Sunnyside Queens, hosted a benefit show for the Filipino
American Legal Defense and Education Fund. The show was part of a Live Band
Series that the restaurant hosts. The night featured the most popular band of
the series, the FilHarmonic Band, who so bigheartedly put on a show in support
of the organization. Guest of FALDEF, FilHarmonic and PAYAG joined in a night
of music, laughter, and good times.
Thanks to the generous donation of Hocus Focus Inc, there was also a
photo booth set up for guests to enjoy. The night was a success in many ways,
more importantly the work of FALDEF was brought to the attention of those in
the Community, as Payag Manager so adamantly stated, “Every Filipino should be
supporting your organization.”
We are
proud to announce that there will be another event for the benefit FALDEF at
Payag featuring the FilHarmonic Band on Friday, June 21.
