As appreciation of the vibrant Filipino heritage and culture and the success and strength of the Filipino community in Manitoba, the month of June each year is known as Filipino Heritage Month.
This year’s celebration will be highlighted by various activities that will be organized by the Philipine Heritage Council of Manitoba (PHCM) in collaboration with affiliated organizations.
This year’s theme is ‘Kalayaan…Ating Ingatan at Alagaan,’ which translates to ‘Let us preserve and nurture our freedom.
