Emile “Miles” Guardiano

TREASURER

Emile “Miles” Guardiano has been a member of the Philippine American Society of Colorado for nearly 30 years. Beginning with cultural dances at an early age, Miles has been part of the Dance Troop learning from Tita Tina Estudio and Tita Dolly Banzon. Dedicating many Sunday afternoons to dance practices and ultimately becoming a supporting role in major PASCO Productions like Kalayaan. Miles has attended Metropolitan State University of Denver for a bachelor’s degree in Healthcare Management, pursuing a career in Patient Access for SCLHealth now known as Intermountain Health. For spare time Miles is a Co-Captain for PASCO Fighting Dragons, a Dragonboat team that competes in the Annual Colorado Dragonboat Festival. The team has celebrated many successes but not without challenges along the way.

Over the past 5 years Miles has regained the motivation in becoming an active member of PASCO for many reasons. Reminiscing of days past, Miles wants to rebuild the community that he grew up with. Weekly Dance Practices, Bowling Nights, and a sense of belonging. Miles has been told many times that the Youth is the Future of PASCO but believes just like Pope John Paul that the Youth is the Present and without them there is no PASCO. Miles has been driven to rebuild the community as well from the strong belief of his mother Imee Guardiano that knowing and living your Heritage should be a part of your everyday life, help PASCO succeed and bring back the fun and excitement of the early days.
