It's good to know that there are ONE MILLION FILIPINOS in Canada and there are 175,000 Filipino population in BC. Wow! That's a lot!
What a humongous population of the same heritage, culture, tradition and one religious belief can do for a new country they decided to reside, live harmoniously and peacefully for as long as they shall live? Actually too many to mention...
Remember as always "ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country."
A Filipino Cultural Center will be the future endeavor to be built and created in Vancouver.
A Cultural Center that will showcase Filipino talents and skills in the Arts & Entertainment. Maybe they will feature the ingenuity of famous painters, sculptors, woodcarvers, graphic artists, cartoonists, 3D Animators, maybe they will feature events such as Gala, Zarzuela, Passion Plays, Vaudeville, etc.
Aside from several business(es) some Filipinos had been in recognition: restaurants, fast-food, coffee shops, bakeries, salons-beauty parlors, home for the aged, variety-specialty stores, flower shops, jewelry stores, daycare, etc.
Filipinos are usually business-minded. They are good in what they are doing with the sense of purpose helping others to thrive.
Anyway, what else is there to showcase?
Tomorrow in Vancouver, BC the unveiling of LAPU LAPU DAY to be recognized and honored in Canada. How this happened?
LAPU LAPU the first National Hero of the Philippines who fought against the Portuguese Ferdinand Magellan. Invasion in such "island" was not possible because of Lapu Lapu's courage and bravery.
Okay whatever it is the code & conduct on the secrecy and how and why Lapu-Lapu instead of Dr. Jose Rizal is beyond me.
Or why choose APRIL 27, 2024 the special event date for such honor.
