Remember the gentleman who joined us for wine at our July 4 event? He is part owner of the Old Manila-themed restaurant Casa Roces located inside the Malacanan compound. He called me up to invite our group to grace a dinner on November 12, Saturday, dressed as Commonwealth era soldiers. The dinner is sponsored by the Film Development Council of the Philippines for the Italian Film Festival of the Italian Embassy. The Italian Ambassador will be there as well as one of their Senators. Dinner and drinks will be served. I asked if we can bring prop weapons and Mr. Ed Roces said he will arrange it with the PSG, as long as we agree to leave the props at the restaurant ahead of time for inspection. So this means M1 Garands, .45's, even swords must be logged in. Maybe we can all leave our things at Albert's, catalogue and mark them for ownership, and I'll coordinate with Mr. Roces on the transport. Sign up! 1. Medic

Oh yes, Isagani Ocampo who is a new BNK member also advised me this & invited us which he will be discussing this Nov 5 to the group at the MOA Milsim event. He talked to one of the co- owners regarding this. Thus its very good we have Medic & Gani as contacts of the organizer of the event.
Can we place the uniform we will be wearing so we know to prevent duplicate?
What exactly we will do? The same thing we did in Jul 4, just a dinner & have conversation with the organizers. Or do we do color guards...? So that we can prepare & support.
Mabuhay / thanks; Perry

I think the idea is to do a color guard. I'll finalize the plans as we go along. I'll be wearing an officer Class C uniform with Sam Browne belt. PS, I don't think we will sit down with the guests.

Hey Friends, this is Ray Ortega. Doggone, looks like I'll be missing yet another fantastic chance to wear philippine commonwealth army gear in a fancy venue.
Notwithstanding the italian cinema people will there....mama mia!
1) Okay, so remember they want "commonwealth era", so those with type A jackets, riding pants, tall boots or putees ought to go wearing them. 2) Try to bring the commonwealth flag, the PS, along with the 48 star U.S. and Philippine flags.
3) Those with PA or PC officer's uniforms, should go as PA or PC, (with blue or red shoulder boards).
4) Those with guinit helmets try to lend them to others if they are not going as PA or PC.
5) If Jojo Dy is going, best bet is his "Gen Vicente Lim" impression.
6) Try contacting my brother Manny Ortega, he has a wooden mockup of an M1917 watercooled browning machine gun which can be dispalyed (ex. at the foyer of the restaurant).
7) Italians are known for being very stylish in peace or war, lets' show em' that Filipinos will not be found wanting.
8) Good Luck and have fun!

Thanks Ray- although the mock up machine gun might be a bit difficult to get past the PSGs at the gate, heh heh. We have approval to bring prop weapons, but were told to bring them in discreetly.
