Filipinos Rising

03/19/2026

Stories, memories, and lived experiences that deserve to be heard.

Join us for a meaningful intergenerational gathering where Filipino seniors share their life journeys:
✨ how they adapted to a new country
✨ how they overcame challenges
✨ and the wisdom they pass on to the next generation

This is more than just storytelling. It is an initial step in our effort to write and document the stories of our Filipino elders 💛

Let’s come together to listen, learn, and honor their voices.

✨️Filipinos Rising and Babae Filipina-Canadian marked International Women's Day by honouring the voices, wisdom, and lived experiences of Filipino/x women in Calgary. What emerged was more than an event—it was a shared space of courage, connection, and kapwa. 🇵🇭 🇨🇦

🙌🏽 Together, we are building pathways that honour our heritage, our resilience, and our shared responsibility to one another as Kapwa Babae. This is only the beginning of what we can create when our stories lead the way. 💙💛❤️

✨️Ipinagdiwang ng Filipinos Rising at Babae Council ang International Women’s Day sa pamamagitan ng paggalang sa mga tinig, karunungan, at karanasang-buhay ng mga Filipino/x na babae sa Calgary. Higit pa ito sa isang pagtitipon—naging espasyo ito ng tapang, pagkakaugnay, at kapwa. 🇵🇭 🇨🇦

🙌🏽 Sama-sama tayong lumilikha ng mga landas na nagbibigay-pugay sa ating pamana, katatagan, at sama-samang pananagutan sa isa’t isa bilang Kapwa Babae. Simula pa lamang ito ng mas marami pang maaring mabuo kapag ang ating mga kuwento ang siyang nagtatakda ng direksyon. 💙💛❤️
