Once again the Philippine Cultural Enrichment Complex is busy with preparations for PhilFest 2013 from the 5th to the 7th of April. The Philippine Cultural Foundation Board of Directors, with help and volunteers from the community, try their best to provide the 12-13,000 Filipinos and Filipino-Americans who attend PhilFest a feeling of nostalgia for the motherland and the non-Filipinos an impressive glimpse of Philippine culture through dance, song, food, cultural exhibits, fashion shows , and colorful parades and processions. People of all ages and all walks of life coming from the Tampa Bay community and beyond take time off for a weekend of fun for everyone, delicious food and high class entertainment. After all, PhilFest, considered one of the largest outdoor festivals in the country, happens only once a year.With PCFI Board member Lucy Bautista chairing this annual signature event, PhilFest 2013 is sure to be as successful and enjoyable as all the seventeen PhilFests before it. This is because the PhilFest 2013 committee is composed of hardworking and dedicated committee chairs and members who consider preparing for the festival as second nature to them. The bayanihan spirit is magnificently displayed in all aspects, from the weeks of preparation to the festival itself.
