June 12, 2020. We did it again! Filipinos from different parts of Lethbridge gathered at the Lethbridge City Hall for the 2nd Philippine flag raising ceremony to commemorate the Philippine Independence Day.

Also on this day is the Stage 2 of Alberta’s Relaunch Strategy to safely launch the economy after recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic. Up to 100 people are now allowed to gather outdoors.

We have safely sang the Philippine National Anthem with our masks on and at a safe distance from one another, following Alberta Health protocol.

Apple Villano led the Philippine National Anthem and sang a couple of Filipino songs.

Francheska Dynamites and Apple Villano dressed up to showcase our Filipiniana dresses.

Professor Bonifacio from the University of Lethbridge also talked about some history of the Philippine flag.

It is indeed another successful event while we are still recovering from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. See you again next year!!! Hopefully at a closer distance and without the masks on! 😂❤️🇵🇭🇨🇦
