GRATITUDE: Rock in the Box Weekend 2nd Night, Crash Mansion NYC, August 30, 2008  Photo by Riya Ortiz

The historic Rock in the Box Weekend was another milestone for all artists and supporters of Filipino music in North America. This is indeed the farthest we have all gone in terms of our unity as one people. We have all made history and we we will forever be remembered for all our sacrifices and love. Never to be forgotten.
Many of us have traveled far to be able to connect with one another and celebrate our likenesses through music. We have gathered as one people and we have shown everyone that nothing is impossible.

We at Soulworks are indebted to all of you who made this writing of history possible:
