FUND-RAISING EVENT THIS NOVEMBER, 2014

Dear friends and members, please support our fund-raising event on November 22, 2014. We will have a special movie screening of "DINIG SANA KITA." Tickets will be sold at P500 each. Bring your family and invite more people. This is a Cinemalaya multi-awarded independent film. Tickets will be distributed at the reception of Dolphy Theatre on November 22, 3:00PM, ABS-CBN Compound.

Film synopsis: The film is a love story between a Deaf boy who loves to dance and a troubled rocker girl who abuses her hearing. One lives in the world of solitude and silence, the other in noise and fear. Crossing paths in a Baguio camp that mixes Deaf and hearing kids, both find that they have more in common with each other including a love for music.

"DINIG SANA KITA" is the first Filipino film to have a Deaf Actor in a Lead role. Romalito Mallari is a Deaf performer that has played several stage productions as actor and/or dancer. It also features several Deaf actors in the cast and ensemble.

Directed By:
Mike Sandejas

Memorial Mass for Eugenio Lopez, Jr.

 

In memory of Eugenio Lopez, Jr. , who was known simply as Mang Geny to the pioneer members of Bahay Dalangin, we will be celebrating a memorial-healing Mass on October 22, Wednesday, at the ABS-CBN chapel. It is because of his commitment to the practice, his generosity, and his vision, that our sangha enjoys the use of the zendos at ELJ and at Sta Ana today. His foresight also led to the establishment of the BD foundation. His legacy lives on through every sitter at Bahay Dalangin. 

Healing session begins at 10 AM and Mass will begin at 12 noon. Please take the audience entrance along Eugenio Lopez Drive (across Will Tower).
