We cannot thank you enough. We hope that in your eyes, this event would have done its job of promoting our culture and also in celebrating our 19th year. We would love to see you and work with you again in our future events. Of course, we would like to apologise for the blunders in announcing the winners during the night.

Our past leaders who graced the event with their presence and support, ag yaman kami Amin, without your leadership, we will not be celebrating 19 years of IGOROT UK, 19 years of being united in promoting our goals and 19 years of fun, camaraderie and celebrations. We dedicate everything that we do to all of you as a tribute for your sacrifices and unending support and for paving the way for us and for carrying the Igorot banner for us. We celebrate your achievements and milestones. Please continue to guide us and to support us as we continue our journey. To the committees, youve done an incredible job for the short period of time you were given to prepare, thank you for working extra hard to meet deadlines. To the handlers, the make up artists whove sacrificed time and effort and did such an enormous multi tasking job for the candidates, your passion and your enthusiasm will never go unnoticed. Thank you very much. The hosts Norben and RoseMarie, you are both stars, unending thanks to you both. To all of us Kaigorotan, your defeaning cheers distinguished your respective sub groups and your respective unity resounded in the 4 corners of the hall. There has been a competition, and there emerged a winner, Ms Benguet Lenny Abanag, our title holder for 2014. We take pride in your achievement and we take pride in your qualities and talents.we will support you all the way as you hold the title and the Igorot UK banner. There has been a lot of issues from members whos emotions were heightened with the aftermath of the event. such emotions were released thru their FB posts and comments and some of them have deviated from what is objective and constructive to outright senseless, nasty and personal. But the good thing is, the Kaigorotan sat down, deliberated and all issues are now resolved. All posts and comments and queries have been answered sensibly and with the support of minutes of previous meetings. We apologise if the event has struck a chord with some members, we can only learn and improve. As our Miss IGOROT UK 2014 appropriately said, one value that shes proud of with the Igorot culture is Unity , even though we represent different provinces, in our hearts, we are one, we are IGOROTs. Thank you once again and let us be one on our stand- unity for the Kaigorotan in the UK.
