2024-12-07 Pasko Berde - The 2024 LSPAA Christmas Party

Pasko Berde 2024 was a 10 AM to 12 midnight affair!  The fun and the warmth of LSPAA's Christmas celebration more than made up for the cold weather outside!  Bagels and cream and coffee warmed up those who spruced up the venue early in the morning.  The Brown Rice band never failed to entertain everyone with their favorite 80s songs!  The band-led dancing and singing during the day was piggybacked by DJ Gregg Angeles-led dancing and singing late into the night! Left-over lechon belly, drinks and non-stop music warmed up those who stayed behind to close right before the clock struck midnight!

LSPAA past presidents, Rolly Saldana, Adjo Gonzales and Francis Santayana, have drawn the following Trenta Berde Grand Raffle winners:

2024-09-07 TRENTA BERDE

The La Salle Philippines Alumni Association has proven its enduring presence in the Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia area when it celebrated Trenta Berde, the 30th year anniversary celebration on September 7, 2024, at the Our Lady of Good Counsel Desales Hall in Vienna, VA.  LSPAA was founded and incorporated at the VA-State Corporation Commission on September 8, 1994.  Led by LSPAA's 16th President, Mela Almeda, the event was attended by 150 alumni, families, friends and benefactors in a fun-filled evening graced by the presence of His Excellency Jose Manuel Romualdez, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of the Philippines to the USA. It was an evening of recognition of the First LSPAA President, Bing Crisologo, who, though the years, has conscientiously attended all LSPAA events and stepped up at some point to assume presidency when the incumbent was unable to complete the term.  It was also the evening of the big reveal of the new LSPAA logo in the next 30 years, designed by LSPAA's inhouse artist and events brand expert, Ron Diokno. LSPAA extends its appreciation to all the Trenta Berde Sponsors, alumni, families and friends who made the evening a complete success!  With such unwavering support, LSPAA is poised to thrive through the next 30 years!
