PAGDIRIWANG PHILIPPINE FESTIVAL 2024
Musika at Iba Pa
Music and More at the Mural Amphitheatre
Teza Mendoza has been a volunteer of the Pagdiriwang for more than a decade. She started as assistant talent coordinator to Chito Refuerzo for Musika at Iba and later took on the responsibility. With her link to the band network, Teza invited Filipino American performers from all over the Puget Sound area and neighboring states, scouring events and places and showcased them for the live Musika at Iba Pa segment of the Pagdiriwang. For the past two years when Pagdiriwang went virtual, Teza developed and put together the videos to be able to feature and share talents of up and coming FilAM performers in the Puget Sound.
Teza is also a performer. She is a solo singer of different genres, an actress (TV, film and stage), a trained dancer and choreographer, a compugraphics designer, a writer and an amateur film maker. As she always says, performing keeps her grounded. The instilled discipline from all her trainings as a performer enables her to also do her job as company manager/administrator. Always a stickler for professionalism, she also inculcates this in all the performers she features.
She espouses the triangle for success as a performer: DEDICATION, DISCIPLINE AND PROFESSIONALISM.

GRACELANDMANILA
Known as one of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century, as well as being one of the most influential performers/entertainers to American and world audiences, Elvis Presley’s presence and spirit continue on. Live music provided by GracelandManila "Tribute To The King," is an entertaining, sentimental, and high-energy tribute to “The King of Rock & Roll.”
Tony Colinares, a Filipino-American Seattle-based singer, actor, and musician brings the legendary persona to life. He is a past 1st place winner at the Seattle Elvis Invitationals, being voted “Seattle’s #1 Elvis.”
Touching everything on Elvis' wide spectrum of material - from the upbeat Rock & Roll, and Blues to the tender ballads, to the light-hearted wisecracks, you can always expect a fun-filled and lively performance that appeals to all ages, backgrounds, and musical tastes.
