Happy Philippines Independence Day!
122 years ago, Filipino patriots bravely declared their freedom from foreign control.
After many years of struggle, the Philippines is now a strong, vibrant democracy.
I was proud to stand in the House of Commons two years ago to vote unanimously with my colleagues to declare June Filipino Heritage Month. So today we celebrate a proud day and a proud month.
I’d like to thank all Filipino-Canadians for your many contributions to Canada.
Mabuhay!

We had a fabulous turnout for our 2024 Vancouver Kingsway Community BBQ!
This was our biggest event yet; we served over 2500 hot dogs, watermelon, chips and lemonade.
Special thanks to my staff, our fabulous volunteers and all of our constituents who came together to celebrate our community and connect with neighbours.
