Philippine Ambassador to the UAE, H.E. Hjayceelyn Quintana, who was the guest of honour during the event, lauded the efforts of the United Cebuanos as the group continues to uphold the positive image of Filipinos in the UAE: “When I first came here to interact with the community, that was in June, half of my time during the program dun sa gabi – I was actually looking to my right of the stage. You know why? Because nandun kayo – I took note of it. United Cebuanos, it was a big wow – that kind of show you had last June was a big wow. Dream ko as an ambassador is I hope we can showcase it to the other communities here. It’s a very festive atmosphere! Let’s celebrate Cebu!”
