Rey Manoto the president of The Rizal Park Movement of Campbelltown (RPMC) joined us as our special guest this evening.
In 2007 the movement was established as an offshoot of the Cambelltown and Region Filipino Community Council in reason of advocating, organizing and managing the various activites and events that would take place in concern of the development and maintenance of infrastructure and facilities of the Rizal Park in Campbelltown. Many of this of course wouldn’t have been possible without the joined help and force from the local council and government funding. Although there has been great progress in the creation of this entire landscape there is not enough funds to compensate for the surrounding features and actual pedestal for none other than the statue itself of our national hero, Jose Rizal. It is already a functional park with many family oriented facilities such as playgrounds, BBQ and picnic areas.
RPMC asks of the Filipino communities to participate in this undertaking through attending the assorted events that the organisation has prepared such as an upcoming Hero’s Gala Night on the 4th August 2012 at Wests League Club, Leumeah. Furthermore RPMC offers a range of participation being a sponsor, donor, advertiser and/or a benefactor. If you would like to be apart of this historical event or would like to know more, visit www.rizalpmc.org or call up Rey Manoto on 0421 959 547.
We as a Filipino community should recognize the efforts and sacrifices of our national hero and that is why I believe that this historical event should be a reason for every filipino to stand proud. The unveiling ceremony will be held on Saturday, August 25th at Rizal Park, Anthony Drive, Rosemeadow. Assembly begins at 9am and a program will commence at 10am. It is an all day, free and communal event where they ask of you to bring food and drinks to share with others. Everyone is invited so please come along! So don’t forget to do your bit in contributing to this amazing movement.
