Keeping Filipino Culture Alive in Canada: Tanong Lang Po Episode 2

In this week’s episode of Tanong Lang Po, host Drei takes to the streets of Toronto to ask our fellow Filipinos: “Paano niyo ba napapanatili ang Filipino culture dito sa Canada?” 🇵🇭🍁 The answers reveal heartwarming stories of resilience, tradition, and community that keep the essence of being Pinoy alive—even thousands of miles away from home.

Filipino Traditions in a New Land

From early Christmas celebrations to Sunday family gatherings, Filipinos in Canada carry their traditions with pride. Many shared how they continue to attend Mass and participate in church communities, finding comfort and connection with fellow Filipinos. It’s clear that faith remains a cornerstone of Filipino culture, providing a sense of home in a foreign land.

Food, Festivals, and Fellowship

What’s life without Filipino food? Whether it’s cooking classic dishes at home or indulging in favorites from Filipino stores and Jollibee, the taste of home keeps the culture alive. Celebrating festivals, supporting Filipino businesses, and joining cultural activities are other ways our kababayans maintain their roots and share the joy of being Pinoy with others.

Values and Language

Teaching children the importance of magandang asal (good manners) and encouraging them to speak the Filipino language are vital in passing down the culture to the next generation. It’s about instilling respect, warmth, and the close-knit family values that define being Filipino.

Shoutout to the Filipino Spirit!

Whether it’s through church fellowships, sharing meals, or simply surrounding themselves with fellow Pinoys, our community in Canada proves that Filipino culture thrives wherever we go. Special shoutout to Jollibee Centerpoint and all the Filipino communities making it happen!
