The Nightingales was An Evening to Remember!Thank you to all who attended another show-stopping performance brought to you by FACSPS! We hope it was inspirational, moving, and made you proud to be Filipino!
Stay current on our upcoming events for more performances like these to come. Proceeds go towards the FACSPS Scholarship Fund. The Nightingales is an impressive vocal duo featuring two of the youngest yet formidable classical singers in the Philippines today. They bring the magic of opera into the fore with a rare blend of musicality, and perform a wide-ranging repertoire consisting of opera arias, Broadway classics and popular standards in a unique style of singing, bel canto, or the beautiful voice. These beautiful singers were carefully honed at very young age. As former soloists of the Philippines premier choir and internationally-acclaimed ensemble, "The Philippine Madrigal Singers," they continue to intensify their artistry as they travel extensively around the world. – The Nightingales Facebook page 
Get Involved: Try Dancing!Even if you have two left feet, WE WANT YOU! As long as you bring the enthusiasm, consider joining our dance group here at FACSPS! We accept participants of ALL AGES and promise to always have a good time.
Bring a friend, make friends, and join in on the fun! Choreography emphasizes traditional Filipino dance, but also incorporates other styles.
Practices are held on Saturday nights at Hallen Hall at Sacred Heart Parish, Lacey. Please contact our Social Activities Coordinators Yoly Valencia and/or Frank Ballon for more details.

UHAW Project Update
Thanks to your generous donations, our President, Angel Vano, recently headed to the Philippines to hand deliver proceeds made from the UHAW Project.
How did your donations directly help the victims of Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda)? During the second week of April, Paul visited Lawaan, a barangay in Samar and was able to buy school uniforms for the almost 1,000 children attending Lawaan Central School. So far, 200 slippers have been distributed in parts of Tacloban (the main city shattered by the typhoon). Our president also toured neighboring barangays and towns to extend help to local clinics thanks to the aid of the Department of Health in Tacloban. Please continue to pray for those who lost their lives and those who lost loved ones during this devastating tragedy. The UHAW Project was started by our FACSPS president to send basic aid to victims of mass disasters and crises in the Philippines. The recent disaster of Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) resulted in an overwhelming destruction of many lives. We still need to help those affected and continue to accept any monetary donations for this cause. "Uhaw" is a Tagalog word meaning "thirst." FACSPS gives MANY THANKS to those who supported our project:
