The name Ethnic Essentials was established over ten years ago with VA's Branding logo Nine-O-Flip, the brand and logo of Nine-O-Flip represents Peace, Loyalty, and Prosperity and in that Ethnic Essentials brings on its diversified talent in uniting Ethnicity and all cultural Experiences!

 

Some may question why our mascot portrays the exotic ambiance of El Diablo?  El Diablo represents an era in history that can never be erased, a time when history and culture in Panama was governed by slave masters. The slave master who is El Diablo was captured by the slaves who purified him by baptism and released the demons from him so that the cruelty of slavery would no longer exist.

 

Three days before carnival the Diablos were released into the city to whip and capture as many people as they could however through the strength and prayers of the people El Diablo was captured and baptized by the Holy Catholic Church.
