FEEDBACK (unsolicited, unedited) to BoniFest 2020

“Congratulations for a successful event.  The presentation of Mila Guerrero was very interesting; left much food for thought.”
(From Linglingay Lacanlale, Philippine Ambassador to Argentina)

“I saw and heard everything.  Thank you. Thrilled to see Mila… Funny all the confusion about missing Mila G… Baka pareho kami ni Mila G. (Maybe Mila and I are in the same situation.)

I’m here without video and mute but can hear and see you. Game na game naman si Mila Guerrero… Meron kayong transcript ng discussion  (Do you have a transcript of the discussion)?”
(From Ana B. Urbina, retired National Food Authority officer, ang former student of Mila G in the UP in the 60s, messaging from Quezon City.  She was just happy enough to make it to the Bonifest 2020 ZOOM event, as poor internet and wifi connection were her usual problems, but thankful that this time she was able to view the entire show.)

“CONGRATULATIONS! You pulled it off and brought out much good will and positive affirmation from the audience.  Mila’s talk was top of the heap.  Only she could do it!”
(From Felice Sta. Maria, a Philippine author, veteran food historian and cultural heritage advocate.)

“Mahusay yung Boni event.  The participation of the younger generation was moving and inspiring.  Mabuhay kayo!”
(From Temario Rivera, former chair of the Department of Political Science, University of the Philippines)

“Ang galing ng mga kabataang ito.”
(From Judy Taguiwalo, former DWSD Secretary)
