Maligayang Araw ng Kasarinlan, mga kabarangay! Nakikiisa ang Barangay Manitoba sa kababayan community ng ating lalawigan sa pagdiriwang ng ika-126 na anibersaryo ng Kasarinlan ng Pilipinas! Ngayong taon din ang ika-75 anibersaryo ng diplomatikong relasyon sa pagitan ng Pilipinas at Canada. Mabuhay!!! 🇵🇭🇨🇦🎉
Today, June 12th, we join our Filipino friends in their celebration of the 126th anniversary of Philippine Independence.
Our people-to-people ties are the cornerstone of our bilateral relationship – a connection rooted in kinship and familial ties that has flourished over the decades. One million people of Filipino origin call Canada home.
As we celebrate our 75th diplomatic anniversary this year, we are reminded that the opportunities for cooperation on shared commitments like upholding a rules-based international order, combatting climate change, enhancing food and energy security, expanding trade, and building a more prosperous, inclusive and stable Indo-Pacific region are limitless.
The Philippines is at the core of Canada’s Indo-Pacific Strategy, and the time for a stronger partnership is now.
Mabuhay at Maligayang Araw ng Kalayaan!
🇨🇦🇵🇭
