Valentine's Weekend for the Dateless: a Jokefest
Saturday, January 16
8 pm
Club Intramuros
(located on Bonifacio Drive, in Intramuros)
Cover fee: P150

This is a comedy sketch fundraiser for the excellent group Youthtrip, which organizes young Filipinos to learn more about their heritage, partly through travel/tours with a domestic bent. Specifically it is a fundraiser for "Yayain si Yaya Day", a project to fund a trip to Museo Pambata for Pinoy history, storytelling + games for yayas (Filipina nannies) and the kids they take care of.

For more info, directions, etc, you can call 0918-521-1087, or email youthtrip@gmail.com.

Sounds like fun.
