A warm courtesy meeting was held at the Honourary Consulate Office in Brisbane with the Hiraya Performing Artists Brisbane and Parangal, who travelled from San Francisco.

Consul Sheryll Gabutero welcomed Parangal Directors Mr Eric Solano and Ms Jet Tagle as esteemed guests of the Hiraya Performing Artists, together with Hiraya President Dixie Morante and dancer Richu Kung, celebrating culture, connection, and a shared passion for the performing arts.

Our heartfelt thanks to the Hiraya Performing Artists for their generosity in hosting and bringing the Parangal Directors to Australia, and to Mr Solano and Ms Tagle for delivering inspiring workshops that continue to uplift and preserve Filipino cultural heritage.

Maraming salamat for your dedication to showcasing our traditional dances that may have been long forgotten💝
