Have Your Voice Heard, Kabayan!

Memorial University of Newfoundland Filipino Students' Association (MUNFILSA) is inviting Filipinos across Newfoundland and Labrador to participate in their Needs Assessment Survey.

Through this initiative, MUNFILSA hopes to better understand the experiences, concerns, and priorities of Filipinos in the province. The feedback gathered will help guide future projects, programs, and community initiatives that are meaningful, relevant, and responsive to the needs of our community.

📝 If you are a Filipino living in Newfoundland and Labrador, please consider taking a few minutes to complete the survey:

As a thank-you for participating, respondents will have a chance to win a $25 gift card.

MUNFILSA also encourages you to share the survey with your family, friends, classmates, coworkers, and fellow kababayans. Every response will help strengthen efforts to support and connect Filipinos throughout Newfoundland and Labrador.
