On Saturday, we joined 15,000 others to stand against the devastating racial attacks happening in Belfast and around the world.
Racism and Islamophobia is an urgent crisis that we are committed to combating to ensure our community is safe for everyone.
The xenophobic events in the past weeks have highlighted the importance of community resilience and the power of collective action in stopping the spread of hate and division.
Last weekend, I had the incredible opportunity to immerse myself in the vibrant culture of the Philippines at the local Filipino Festival. From mouth-watering cuisine to energetic performances, the event was a delightful celebration of Filipino heritage.
The festival was a showcase of colours, sounds, and energy. Traditional Filipino dances captivated the audience with their grace and precision. The rhythmic beats of the music had everyone tapping their feet and swaying to the rhythm.
One of the highlights of the festival was the sense of community and camaraderie among the attendees. People from all walks of life came together to celebrate and appreciate Filipino culture. It was truly inspiring to witness the enthusiasm and pride of the Filipino community.
A happy Saturday supporting our Filippino community celebrate their national day. A big shout out to Anna and her committee for putting on a great show and to everyone who turned up to create that special Filipino atmosphere.
