In collaboration with the Embassy of the Philippines and Her Excellency Ambassador
@ambassadormariaaustria , it was truly a proud of moment to witness yet another momentous occasion to raise the flag of the Philippines.

Moreover, June commemorate and celebrate the sacrifices and contributions made by Filipinos not just in Canada and the Philippines but all around the world.
This great tradition was started by the late Senator Tobias Enverga, the first Filipino-Canadian Senator in Canadian History. We are very pleased to see this tradition by our dear Senator
@dr.gigiosler , Honourable
