Setting the Scene:

Early in the morning, our dedicated Kuyas, led by Kuya Rannie and Kuya Michael, worked tirelessly alongside our cousins and nephews to transform the venue into a vibrant “Fiesta Theme.” We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all who woke up as early as 5 am to ensure our day was nothing short of memorable.

Additionally, Kuya Allan took charge of guiding each arriving car safely to the parking lot, ensuring a smooth start to the festivities. We commend Claire and Jericho for stepping up at the last minute to oversee the registration process, and skillfully guiding our family members as they arrived.

From the youngest cousins who helped with decorations to the elders who shared their wisdom and stories, each individual played a vital role in creating a memorable and meaningful gathering.

A Special Tribute:

One of the most touching moments of the day was a special tribute to the first generation of our family, the siblings. The women and men among them were presented with roses and danced to the song “Memories” while a slideshow of their youthful photos played in the background. This brought tears of nostalgia and happiness to everyone’s eyes.

Sharing Memories:

Later on, everyone gathered around to watch a slideshow on the LED wall, set to the music of “Kanlungan”. The slideshow featured photos of our family through the years, accompanied by reminiscences from the siblings about their parents and departed loved ones. There were tears shed, but also a sense of joy in remembering cherished moments.

Castro’s Got Talent:

The entertainment continued with “Castro’s Got Talent”, where family members showcased their singing and dancing skills. One particularly emotional moment came when Edwin, one of the siblings, sang “Larawang Kupas”. His heartfelt performance moved everyone to tears, and it was unanimously decided that he deserved to win the prize.

As the day came to a close, and we bid farewell to another memorable reunion, we were left with hearts full of gratitude and love. The Castro Family Reunion was more than just a gathering; it was a successful reset and reconnect, reaffirming the bonds that unite us as a family. Until we meet again, may the memories of this special day continue to inspire and uplift us, reminding us of the strength and beauty of family.
