In support of the Professional, Leadership, and Continuing Education Program (PLACE), UPAAE members and their families participated in “Painting in the Park” led by Mila Bongco-Philipzig. Participants enjoyed an afternoon of painting a night scenery in warm and cool colors. The two-hour activity was full of calm, serenity, and quiet chatter as they mixed, brushed, envisioned, and glossed over their prized paintings. Everyone was surprised at their finished product despite their beginner and no prior experience ability. UPAAE is looking to replicate the successful event in the upcoming summer season. So stay tuned.
