Grand Assembly of the Philippines and Guam

There were so many wonderful memories that were forged during the 14th Grand Assembly Session at Bohol Island, Philippines. The Island of Bohol is such an awesome place that some of the girls wanted to go back and spend some holiday time there with their families (and barkadas too!). The tour to the wonders of Bohol, such as to the Chocolate Hills, through the Loboc River, and even Dolphin Watching at Pamilacan was just some of the most exhilarating experiences that the girls have encountered.

There were first time attendees, while others have been to previous GAs already. We even had foreign delegates to add to our list!

As webmaster and member of the Grand Execom, I would like to thank everyone who used this site as a venue for interaction prior to the Grand Session. I would like to thank, most especially, Mom Lorraine Rayner, from Adelaide, SA, Australia, who responded with such enthusiasm online that she was able to finally join us in our Grand Session together with three (3) Grand Delegates from the Grand Assembly of New South Wales and South Australia, Australia. To Sisters Felicia and Kimberley Rodeghiero and Gabby Robbins, your presence in our Grand Session are a sight to behold. We are glad that you had the most fun you could ever imagine (especially riding those trykes from downtown and having one of those break down on the way to Bohol Plaza, wehehe...'twas hilarious indeed! LOL!)

We were also graced by so many talented girls from different Assemblies. Wow! We had a great time during the Talents' Night where the girls showed off so many wonderful talents in singing, dancing, acting and cheerleading! These girls are WONDERFUL!

To all the winners of the Ritualistic Contests, my warmest felicitations! You have indeed proved that you could deliver pieces with such passion and dedication. To the Assemblies with the "Most Number of Initiates" as well as those with the "Most Number of Delegates", CONGRATULATIONS! With your Assemblies' efforts to bring forth so many new girls into our wonderful order as well as encouraging so many to be part of our Grand Session is such a great blessing and honor to our Host Assembly. Without your presence, we could not have had a very successful Grand Session.

To our dearest Grand Master of the F&AM of the Philippines, Most Worshipful Dad Peter Lim Lo Suy, and also to Past Grand Master, Most Worshipful Dad Pacifico Aniag, we are so delighted that you have graced our affair. We are so honored to have you in most of our activities during the 3-day affair at Bohol Island. Thank you so much for being there with us and for supporting the cause of our Order.

And lastly, I would like to convey my sincerest congratulations to the newly installed Grand Officers, Grand Representatives and Grand Executive Board Members. We will soon be busy once more for the preparation of the 15th Grand Session at San Pablo, Laguna.

Let's make more wonderful Rainbow Dreams come true, sisters!

Forever the Rainbow!!!
