Its partnership with Read to Achieve underscores their shared mission to make a meaningful impact. Attendees can expect a festive evening filled with Filipino Christmas dishes, drinks and classic holiday tunes.
Adding to the couple’s recent celebrations, Palad has been nominated for the 37th ALIW Awards “Best Filipino Artist Based Abroad” in the male category. Donita proudly announced the milestone on Instagram, calling it “one of the best highlights of my year.”
She also expressed gratitude for the recognition her husband received, sharing that her sister-in-law was the first to break the joyful news.
“This is such a big honor to be nominated especially because Felson only began his singing career here in the US,” she added. “Please keep this in your prayers for us. It would be an even bigger milestone for us if he wins.”
