Suzie Pewter of the Whitfield Group commented: “Thanks must go to all of our fantastic Bermuda entertainers for contributing their time to the Philippine relief fund. Our thanks must also go to Great Sound, Goslings, and Andrew Chamberlain for their charitable support. We could not have done this without their help”

Rowena Comber, Vice President for the Association of Filipinos in Bermuda added: “December 7 was a night to remember! The event was a great success – everybody I spoke to had so much fun! The money raised from this event will make a massive difference to the rehabilitation of families still suffering in the Philippines.
