A colourful show by nine Filipino body painting artistes inspired with ethnic tribal stage performances that awed the audience in excitement capped the evening of the day-long festive event dubbed “Fiesta Pinoy 2010” at the Sealine Beach Resort over the weekend.
The first ever “Fiesta Illuminada” performed by body painting enthusiasts depicting unique styles and themes before a packed Filipino and other expatriate crowd took centre stage of the community event sponsored by Sealine management as a fitting tribute and preview to the 112th Philippine Independence Day celebration on June 11. The weekend gathering was indeed successful with an estimated 2,500 guests taking their day out to witness an array of festive activities organised by Doha Pinoy Events Group (DPEG).

A DPEG official said the events was meant to showcase the Filipinos sense of belongingness and cultural pride as a way of honouring the nationalistic fervour in celebrating more than a century of their country’s declaration as a free and independent nation in the world.
As early as 8am, the entire stretch of the Sealine beach was filled with exhibits from different groups and Filipino partner companies that it was an opportune time for holiday goers to learn more about services and products of varied interests.
Exhibit participants included United Filipino Architects Association Qatar, Doha Pinoy Shooters Club, Western Union, Al Tayyeb Electronics Store, Pilipino Star Ngayon, MediaCom karaoke, Pag-ibig Home Development Fund, Jollibee, CG Pinoy, Cocina Filipina Restaurant and many others.
