This video is Hamilton Filipino Community Centre’s first attempt to broadcast virtually. Everyone throughout the world  is experiencing the same challenges that COVID -19 has visited upon  us. However we know from history that “this too shall pass”. Moreover Filipinos all over the world have celebrated Independence Day for over a century. This 122^nd year is no exception albeit virtually. In Hamilton we  have never missed a celebration. We generally have a two day celebration ( Gala night on Friday) followed up by Flag raising ceremony  with a Catholic Mass on Sunday. but recently we added Saturday to the calendar  as well. The last 2 years we hosted Taste Of Philippines in collaboration with Bernie Carlos . This event was a Food  and Music Festival. This year we would have had a huge Garage sale on HFCC grounds , free of charge to vendors . This video depicts the sequence of events that normally occurs during our celebrations. We hope you will enjoy it. Thank you.MABUHAY ANG PILIPINAS!
