New York was a city badly wounded by the September 11 terrorist
attack. It was a city which suffered the most, but it came out of its
grief challenged and determined not to let such an inhumane act
affect the everyday life as well as the future of the city . Each and
every citizen of New York City as well as people nationwide did their
best in contributing to donations and relief efforts. One such citizen
is Lett Dayao. She has been very active in community service and
fundraising efforts for the betterment of New York as well as that of
the Filipino community.
First and foremost with Lett is the promotion of the Filipino values
and culture. She was so much involved with the preservation of our
culture that she was active in the Philippine Independence Day
Committee for several years, from being its Fundraising Committee
Chairman in 1997, the Fundraising /Journal Committee Chairman
in 1999, to being the Over-all Chairman in 2001. She wants the
world to know that her native Philippines is rich culturally. The
realization and fulfillment of this dream came when she became the
Overall Chairman of the Philippine Independence Day Committee in
2001. The celebration was a glamorous and prestigious affair
because of the efforts of PIDC under the leadership of Lett Dayao.
