MANILA — Kapuso actress Kylie Padilla defended exhusband Aljur Abrenica’s current girlfriend AJ Raval. In a recent live video on social media, Kylie said she’s happy with Aljur and AJ’s relationship. Tapos na po e. I mean, siyempre ‘di pa tapos ‘yung pag-aayos ng papeles but everything else tapos na po talaga siya. So kung meron mang magtanong ngayon, I will answer but that’s the last time I’m going to talk about this kasi happy na po ako,” Kylie said.

the artifacts were blessed after arrival at the FASGI Bayanihan Center by Fr. Rodel Balagtas, Pastor of Incarnation Catholic Church in Glendale. While the artifacts are at FASGI, ongoing studies and programming will continue to be conducted in partnership with the UCLA School of Archaeology. These studies will be released to the public as they are finalized. Dr. Acabado’s students have been working with full commitment and excitement in studying the artifacts. His two lead students - Earl John Cedo Hernandez, PhD student at the UCLA Cotsen Institute of Archaeology, and Madeleine Yakal, PhD candidate at UCLA Anthropology Department – both state, “The UCLA Southeast Asian Archaeology Lab is committed to growing Filipino cultural heritage both in the Philippines and in the diaspora. We encourage the Los Angeles FilAm community to participate in the exhibit, learn more about archaeology, and engage in cultural stories in meaningful ways.”

We are confident that our collective activities would help the Filipino community in Los Angeles to gain a deeper understanding of the tribal, indigenous, pre-colonial, and multifaceted Filipino culture

The launch of the Cotabato Limestone Exhibit on March 7 will include a display of Mindanao cultural items curated by Celia DeFato (Kultura Philippine Folk Arts) and Jose Chin, Jr. (Fiesta Fastfood). According to Ms. DeFato, “A Mindanaon myself from Davao City, I look forward to experiencing and sharing with Californians the rich and colorful culture of the various ethnolinguistic tribes that inhabit neighboring areas of Cotabato, such as the Manobo, Tiboli, Bilaan and Muslims.” Food will also be served, which will include an indigenous Manobo dish created by Jose & Minda Chin from Fiesta Fastfood, as well as other Filipino food from Auntie Dee’s and other Filipino food establishments.

Rubio Associates, Kultura Philippine Folk Arts, Asian Journal, Fiesta Fastfood, Auntie Dee’s, and the Filipino American Community of Los Angeles.
