WHO ARE PALAWANESE?

WHO ARE PALAWANESE?
If you are Vietnamese and a former resident of PFAC Palawan, Vietnamese groups around the world will most likely call you PALAWANESE.  It definitely helps them identify you as a specific group when they organize annual PFAC REUNIONS for former PFAC Refugees and their families.  Thank you PFAC Groups in Australia for coining this word. Keep the fire burning.  We love you.

WHEN I NEED YOU I JUST CLOSE MY EYES

MEMORIES OF PFAC-PALAWAN 1990
 

WHEN I NEED YOU
This video was recorded by my Vietnamese friend and interpreter Nguyen Thanh Nhan (who now resides in Orange County,California) in PFAC Palawan in February 1990.  This song will definitely remind my former Vietnamese students of their time in my class in PFAC. It was 24 years ago and I'm proud to share this video with you all.



STOP, LOOK AND LISTEN TO YOUR HEART

This video was recorded by my friend and Vietnamese interpreter- Nguyen Thanh Nhan in February 1990 in HTC-PFAC Palawan.  Very memorable video indeed.  Gemma De La Cruz (now Gemma Ledesma) is one of the teachers that served the Vietnamese refugees during those beautiful and unforgettable times.



SOFTLY AS I LEAVE YOU
I encouraged Boy (AKA Benny Ong) to participate in a video tribute to the Vietnamese people. You did a splendid job here singing "Softly as I leave you. " I'm really so proud that I can share this memorable video to everyone after 24 long years.




OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
