The yearly lunch-get-together marks Sikap’s anniversary celebration. |
Many members brought along their family members, turning the lunch get-together into one big, happy celebration, with about 100 people in attendance.
Afterwards, most members led by their longtime president, Rey Vital, crossed to a nearby park for a group photo.
The lunch get-together also served as farewell for one of its longtime members, Jo Campos (also a regular contributor of The SUN), who is due to return home to the Philippines for good on Dec. 18.
Sikap ( for Samahan ng Nagkakaisang Pilipino) Association was founded in 1984 by a group of sports-minded OFWs whose objective was to organize sports events and tournaments. Through the years, Sikap Association has evolved into a tennis-oriented group, with focus on organizing friendly tournaments and clinics for those who wish to learn the sport or hone their skill in the sport. The games also serve to promote camaraderie and good health among members and friends. - DCLM
