a message from HKCS

The Lapu-Lapu Block Party was created to honor Datu Lapu-Lapu and to symbolize cultural harmony in British Columbia. Our choir, composed of second and third generation Filipino-Canadian teens, embrace and share the Filipino culture through music and art. As Filipinos, we stand together, support one another, and mourn together especially through difficult times like this.

Himig Kabataan Cultural Society is truly honoured to represent the Filipino community in singing the national anthems alongside Arielle Tuliao at the Vancouver Whitecaps game on Saturday, May 3rd. — We have made the decision to carry on with performing as it demonstrates the resilience of the Filipino community in this time of grief. As we continue to reflect, HKCS aspires to provide hope and be an inspiration to build something meaningful from the sorrow. HKCS performs in honour of the victims of the Lapu-Lapu Day Festival Tragedy and their loved ones. May the spirit of the Filipino community stay alive through the beauty of music. 🇵🇭 ❤️

On behalf of all the members of the Himig Kabataan Cultural Society, our hearts go out to those affected by the tragic incident at the Lapu-Lapu Day Festival. We offer our prayers for the repose of the souls who have passed, and we extend our deepest condolences to their loved ones. We also pray for the health, healing, and comfort of those who have been injured or traumatized.
