Trip to Midland (Martyrs Shrine-Filipino Day)

Every year Martyrs Shrine host pilgrimages. This past Saturday, August 6, 2011 it was Filipino Day. On our way to the Shrine guest were treated with a light breakfast that was provided by Annabelle,   Bianca & OFWC . While officers were handing out breakfeast, 50/50 Raffle were being sold. 5 people won cash prizes. Thousands of filipinos across Ontario congregate here for a mass. The 1st mass was held inside the church and was conducted in english the 2nd mass was held outside on the lawn and was conducted in tagalog.






After the mass we all went back to the bus to have some lunch also provided by Annabelle & OFWC. Once everyone was finished with lunch we made our way to Casino Rama. We spent about 5 hours at the casino. Everyone seemed to enjoy even though the casino won this time haha.

On behalf of all the OFWC Officers we would like to THANK everyone who came and supported us on this yearly event. We hope you enjoyed and we hope you join us next year and the following years. 

THANK YOU!!!

A couple of officers & members attended the One Kapamilya sa Mabuhay Festival @ the Metro Toronto Convention Center this past Saturday, July 23, 2011. There were a lot of things to see and do, from watching a beautiful fashion show which included beach wear, formal, casual, & wedding attire. A singing competition with local talents, some TFC ABS-CBN celebrities took to the stage to entertain us and of course the festival would not be complete without enjoying some delicious filipino food.
