September 25, 2009 - 4:50 p.m.
Watch PCH's video on YouTube (shown above), which was shown at the Pilipino Welcome Reception on Sept. 24, 2009. Enjoy Gabe's "singing" and "rapping" (we're not sure if you can actually classify it as that) to this Pokemon/PCH themed clip! The credit for the vision and video editing goes to Staff Assistant Ryan Andre, who did an amazing job. Other actresses include: Jamie (volunteer at battle scene), Sam (singer/dentist/volunteer), Gem, Charisma, and Maureen (volunteers). If you attended the event, thank you so much for coming to support and check out the UCLA Filipino orgs! We hope you had a great time.
