There was also a special participation of Binibining Laguna 2015 Justine Mae San Jose on the latter part of the program. At that point, she and her team gave cash donations and free shirts to the kids courtesy of Pascual Group of Companies. These were the product of her fund raising photo shoot in Doha, Qatar. The beneficiaries are Autism Society Philippines Laguna Chapter and the victims of Typhoon Yolanda.
The program ended with “Magkasama Tayo sa Kwento ng Pasko,” sung by the performing and visual artists of Festival of Arts.
The event would not be possible without the help of Rotary Club Los Baños Makiling Chapter which celebrates their sixteenth anniversary and the participation of the partner student organizations, Circle K Club of UPLB and UPLB ComArts Society. Autism Society Philippines Laguna Chapter also expressed its appreciation to the participants, their parents and other relatives, other sponsors, donors, member schools and centers, volunteers and people who took their time to watch and support the Festival of Arts.
