Filcom back to holding public celebrations of Philippine Independence Day

04 June 2023

 

It's the first time since 2019 that Independence Day will be celebrated in Chater again

For the first time in four years, the Philippine Independence Day will be celebrated on Chater Road again, and Filipinos are expected to turn up by the thousands to join the festivities and shake off the gloom wrought by the pandemic.

This year’s Kapangyawan Friendship Festival which will commemorate the 124th anniversary of Philippine Independence, will be held next Sunday, June 11.

As in years past, there will be cultural parades and dances, street performances, and a variety show in the afternoon to be topbilled by GMA-7 actor Ruru Madrid and singer Jay Marquez.

The Tultugan Performing Arts of Maasin National Comprehensive High School will also perform during the day-long celebration.

PAPAANO SUMALI? PINDUTIN ITO!

Two days earlier, Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee will join Consul General Raly Tejada and Filipino community leaders at the National Day Reception to be held at the Aberdeen Marina Club.

This will also be the first time after a long while that Hong Kong’s top official will join the Philippine Independence Day celebration hosted by the Philippine Consulate General.

In the past several years, the Chief Secretary was often designated as Hong Kong’s representative to the event.


EXTENDED TO JUNE 30!!

However not a single high-ranking official managed to attend the last such reception in 2019 as anti-government protesters laid siege to Pacific Place, nearly trapping guests who gathered at the Conrad which was in the vicinity.

Also making a comeback this year is the Philippine Independence Day Ball, which will again be held at the Conrad Hotel ballroom on June 10, Saturday.

The formal event co-presented by Ayala Land, First Pacific and Philippine Airlines, will also feature Jay Marquez, a former soloist of The CompanY band; as well as the 2.5 and Jaywalkers bands
