Reposted from @filcanpolitics Happy Independence D Reposted from @filcanpolitics Happy Independence Day! Maligayang Araw ng Kalayaan! In 1989, General Emilio Aguinaldo led the Proclamation of Philippine Independence in his ancestral home in Kawit, Cavite. As we celebrate, let us reflect on the sacrifices of our heroes who bravely fought to achieve this independence. May we also acknowledge the contribution of the people working to preserve and protect our country's sovereignty and the rights and freedoms of every Filipino. #PhilippineIndepedenceDay #FilipinosinCanada
CBC's First Person stories by @naylerjade Jade Nay CBC's First Person stories by @naylerjade Jade Naylor "In 1918, my father, Ging Gar Chew, left Toisan, China, for Canada. He was in search of 'Gim San' as he called it — Gold Mountain. ... An estimated 82,000 Chinese immigrants had paid $23 million in head tax between 1885-1923. But by 2006, most had died. In fact, fewer than 50 surviving head-tax payers were among the 785 people who received the ex gratia payment. My elderly mother accepted on my father's behalf." https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/first-person-jade-nayler-chinese-head-tax-1.6016861 Jade Nayler talks about the impact the Chinese head tax had on her family: https://www.cbc.ca/listen/live-radio/1-29-information-radio-mb/clip/15844888-jade-nayler-talks-impact-chinese-head-tax-family

Reposted from @jimagapito Hey everyone, maybe thi Reposted from @jimagapito Hey everyone, maybe this a good time to tell y’all that #recoveringfilipino is a national radio show on @cbcradio One! It’ll be on after @cbcq on Monday’s at 1130 AM and on Saturday’s at 630 PM all summer long starting June 28th! Never in a million years would I ever think that I’d be a national radio host! Woo-hoo! But let’s be honest here, I gotta thank my mom for guiding me on this journey and feeding me sooo much lumpia. I’ll need that strength to make sure lola doesn’t catch me slacking! She can’t think I’m a bad Filipino anymore! Shout out to @juliedupre_ywg for being the best producer one can ever have! This journey wouldn’t be possible without her. She truly is one of the smartest and most creative people I know. We have the best laughs together! Also shout out to @rsummerfield (gold ⭐️), @ethelbertstreet and Doug Holmes for you feedback and support. It’s nice to see everyone at @cbcmanitoba give their full support! You can also follow #recoverfilipino where ever you get your podcasts! So like, share, follow and let us know what you think! @cbcpodcasts 📷: @jhapes
Reposted from @dayneborbajo_ PART 3/3 I was hones Reposted from @dayneborbajo_ PART 3/3 I was honestly going to wait until tomorrow to post this but I was just too excited lol. Today’s post is featuring the Filipino leaders, creators, and artists from Manitoba. And as always tag any other Filipino person or groups who have made a significant impact to our community. This post wouldn’t have been possible without @jelynnd. Although we just recently talked, she openly and willingly recommended some people and groups to add to the list. I cannot thank her enough for her input. Also she’s such an icon, and you can see her feature in the post as well. 😊❤️ [Edit] Under Jon Reyes’ caption “the bill has been brought forward but has not officially passed yet, it will hopefully soon. He is also the first Filipino Canadian born MLA in the Manitoba Legislature.” - @jonreyes204 Figures that weren’t included: RYAN MENDOZA @ryaanmendoza_ @singingwithryanm_ He is a producer, beat maker, with a very beautiful voice. He is very versatile in his work from singing in choir, Disney songs, and other R&B genres. In 2019, he won 1st place in the Winnipeg Beat League Competition. I have always been a fan, so ofc I needed to include him. Please show him love and support by purchasing the beats that he has worked so hard on, and listening to them on YouTube. Be sure to check out his link tree for more info about his work. WPG Free Plants @wpgfreeplants @waltandmillie @sunroomplants Jannica is the cofounder of wpg free plants alongside Riel. They host events an giveaways where they provide free plants for mental health. I also received a free plant from earlier this school year. 🥰 IG Accounts Mentioned: @jonreyes204 @andrea.cesyl @loizzaaquino @elizabethdianec @johnconcepcion @emsonmallari_ @thepogiproject @patrizzy @aaronamad0 @adrian.siapno @jelynnd @jackiedwild @judimeetsworld @dalagitawinnipeg @airavln @ewastemanitoba @manitobafilipinostreetfestival @jsevillo @risemusicaltheatrecompany @mabuhaymusical @projectfam @kerseysarao @architectsatplay @josephorobia @kultivationfestival @anakwinnipeg @anakpublishing @anakbayanmanitoba @filipinojournal @ckjs_810_ @mfbcwpg @magdaragat_philippines @bibakyouthmb
