Philippine Independence Day
Since the beginning of June, the Filipino community is celebrating the Philippine Independence.
A brief background: The Filipinos revolted against the Spanish in 1896; followed with an outbreak of war between Spanish and American. With the help of Americans, Philippine gained its independence on June 12, 1898.
In Vancouver, several venues were going on:
Raising of the Philippine flag at the Vancouver City Hall
Waterfront Party for two days
Traditional Dancing
Traditional clothing

Wow.
So this is how they celebrate it there.
Nice.
Do you celebrate the Independence Day in your country?
Of course but I “feel” it more when I was still in school since schools are active about these things. But at the office it’s just meh.
Sorry to hear about that. 😦
Mabuhay tayong mga Pilipino kahit saang bahagi ng mundo! 🙂
Maraming salamat. Talaga!
I love the regional costumes. Happy Independence Day 🙂
I can’t move with that kind of outfit. Too long, must show the legs. 😛
You are a colorful group of people!
Yes, we are. Black just doesn’t go well with dark complexion.
