Gotta stay updated with all the events back home, right? Have a good one!

News FLASH will be a weekly recap of important news in the Philippines to keep everyone updated with news from the homeland. It's going to consist of quick summaries and a link to the article. Remember, you can leave questions in our ask box, we'll be happy to answer as best as we can.

Forgot that FLASH has a tumblr? Probably not, but if you have, then allow this to be your refresher. FLASH is back on tumblr. I'm Brian, FLASH's webmaster Social Media Director. That's right, we renamed the position. Anyway, I just wanna take this opportunity to let you guys know that this blog is back up and running and it's been visually updated. The blog's got a whole new look and a little music playlist to accompany your journey through it. The content's probably the same as the last time you looked on this blog, (by the looks of things, its last update was a year ago) but after today, expect a lot of great new things to be coming from this blog. Event updates and pictures, news articles, and submissions! If you've got something you want FLASH to share with their followers, submit it to us. Just click on the link on our blog and send it right to us! So that's about all I have to say for now. Send us any questions you have to the ask box.

So much respect for OFWs all over the world. I can't imagine how difficult it is for them during the holidays. People are right when they say there is nothing like celebrating Christmas in the Philippines.

Come looking your best and ready to eat, drink, and dance! Hope to see your wonderful faces there!
