Las Filipinas Residents ‘Get Social’ Local residents in Blue Lagoon and Las Filipinas have come together in a bid to open an International library at Las Filipinas Social Centre. They are seeking books in all languages, but particularly Spanish, English and German, to add to the small stockpile that they already possess. The centre is also seek help from teachers, instructors and community minded people who might like to set up a hobby or instructional group in the centre for the benefit of local residents, thereby bringing together a whole range of different activities for all to enjoy under one roof. Already the centre accommodates a small detachment from the Policia Local in San Miguel where you can seek help or advice. It is also equipped with a kitchen as well as tables, chairs and
classroom facilities, a table tennis table, desktop computers and lots of toys for young children. The centre management also hopes to establish a theatre group, petanca and sports clubs and run regular social activities. The centre is situated 200 meters from the Urb Blue Lagoon arch. It is open Monday to Friday 8am to 3pm
and eventually, as activities are added to the schedule, the opening hours will be gradually extended. Speaking to Francisco Morales of the Asociacion Venicos Las Filipinas, he tells me that the
centre has been opened thanks to the cooperation of the San Miguel Councillor for Residents, Maria Jose Costa Medrano, who has offered whatever support she can provide to get the centre going. Continued on Page 2
