Nieves:: Gabi ng Parangal

I have never seen a family as beautiful as Nanay Nieves’. To come up with a production as this in the United States is just beyond me, the grandchildren and children of Nanay Nieves sang and danced Filipino music and OPM’s for an hour and a half straight. 

This song sums how close and admirable they are. I can honestly go on, but words won’t give justice. I was watching them in awe and slight tears. 

Wag ka nang umiyak sa mundong pabago-bago

Pag-ibig ko ay totoo
Ako ang iyong bangka
Kung magalit man ang alon at panahon
Sabay tayong aahon


Kung wala ka ng maintindihan
Kung wala ka ng makapitan
Kapit ka sa akin (kapit ka sa akin)
Hindi kita bibitawan


Wag ka nang umiyak mahaba man ang araw

Uuwi ka sa yakap ko

Wag mo nang damdamin

Kung wala ako sa iyong tabi

Iiwan ko ang puso ko sayo
At kung pakiramdaman mo'y
Wala ka ng kakampi
Isipin mo ako dahil
Puso't isip ko'y nasa iyong tabi

I’ve been asked how do we do these projects away from turf, quite easy because we’ve been lucky enough to have clients who “obey” the design direction we want, and it does super help to have Mavelle - Nanay Nieves’ apo- have an aligned crazy need to have a beautiful party like we do. Oh how fun was the planning part and all those purchasing of what we need. 

Venue:: Holiday Inn, San Francisco USA
Planning and Coordination:: Mavelle Peralta

We started with this space and ended up with that loveliness above. We had to bring in the cake, capiz shells and lanterns, buri hats, sinamay, and what nots.
