NARRA Cooperative Ltd, in partnership with Plaza Filipino Inc., proudly presents the Pamana Ball Recognition Night: Ambassador for Culture and the Arts 2026, to be held on Sunday, 1 February 2026, at the Liverpool Catholic Club, Prestons, NSW.
Since its inception, the Pamana Ball has embodied a cherished tradition: celebrating the achievements of outstanding Filipino-Australians while uniting the community in support of NARRA’s flagship initiative, PAACI: Project 500. This annual event both honours those who inspire through their contributions to culture, the arts, and community excellence, and serves as a major fundraising night dedicated to building a lasting legacy for generations to come.
Honourees – Ambassador for Culture and the Arts 2026


The Pamana Ball is a significant event in the Filipino-Australian cultural calendar, reflecting NARRA Co-op and Plaza Filipino’s commitment to recognising achievers, fostering leadership, celebrating cultural pride, and leaving a legacy for the community. Inspiring presentations, cultural performances, and opportunities to connect with community leaders and supporters will fill the evening. 
Guests can also look forward to cultural presentations from NARRA Ambassadors from previous years, including Zaebriel Orayenza and Annbelle Regalado, alongside performances by the OZFIL Dance Group and Australian Mindanao Dancers. Other performers who are sharing their talents include:  (in order of appearance)  Asia Cook; Joan-Paula Conducto; Josh Santos;  Zaebriel Orayenza; Christopher Booth; Annabelle Regalado Borja and Nigel Guarin.  The host of the event is Ronna Guzman, President of the Philippine Australian Multicultural Association (PAMAI); the Creative Director is Chi de Jesus and Emerson Tuazon as the DJ.
Central to this year’s celebration is continued fundraising for PAACI: Project 500, NARRA’s vision to establish a permanent Cultural Home for Filipino Australians. This transformative project will create a national hub with a 500-seat theatre, gallery, and creative spaces, ensuring Filipino-Australian arts and heritage thrive for generations. 
All proceeds from the event will directly support this visionary initiative.
