Yung nagsponsor na si Bro. Jun Garcia ng dinner sa Shangrila ay sobrang generous. Nagparaffle ng maraming gadgets nung dinner, at nagparaffle din ng 4 na 100,000.

Sobrang galante, sya din nagsponsor ng 50th Anniv sa Manila Hotel ten years ago. At nagbigay pa ng Php. 20,000 tip sa waiter.

UE batch '65 sya. Napangasawa nya yung anak ni Felix Manalo. Sya ang current contractor na gumagawa ng mga sambahan ng INC.

UE student-produced “Sana” garners second prize in Senate-sponsored film making contest
By UE on February 29, 2012

The University of the East’s (UE) student-produced “Sana”, a 15-minute short film, was declared second-best winner in the 2011 Senate Short Film Making Competition, after qualifying as one of four finalists, out of 12 entries from twelve schools. The theme of this nationwide competition was, “What do people expect from their parliament?”

The short film centers on a family’s take on current burning issues like poverty, insufficient employment benefits, gender equality and family planning, as the family members gather for dinner.

Acting the roles of the family members are UE students Joseph Paguntalan as “Tatay”, a government employee; Gale Carmona as “Nanay”, a housewife; Christine Buenaflor as “Bea”, the daughter and a college student; Ashcan Gallos as “Jun”, the son and a homosexual; and Princess Sarah Rodilla as “Kekay”, the youngest daughter.

“Sana” was produced by the Kape’t Alak Production, formed by UE College of Arts and Sciences Manila (UE CAS Mla.) sophomore students, namely, Broadcast Communication majors: “Sana” writer and Director Nikolai Alcomendras, Executive Producer Roxanne Garay, Production Manager Maria Evangelista Carlos, videographer Reymart Romero, Light Director Jann Carlo Cardenas, Gladys Abalos, and Kriza Garcia; Journalism majors: Editor Lourence Carale and videographer Razel Roland; and Political Science major: Ariane Telebrico, Consultant.

Alcomendras attributed their win to the dedication of the production staff and the actors under the able supervision of their professor, Ramon A. Nuñez. She also acknowledged the encouragement and support extended by UE CAS Manila Dean Justina Evangelista, Associate Dean Rene Salvania and Prof. Nuñez.

More than the cash prize of P15,000 and a trophy they received, the group considers the feeling of fulfillment and valuable learning experiences as their most important prizes from the competition, Alcomendras relates. According to her, “Representing UE in this commendable competition was already a great achievement, but being recognized as among the best is the utmost accomplishment. I am truly pleased to be a part of this amazing experience. My KAP (Kape’t Alak Production) family, thank you very much and I love you all.”
