Jon Reyes, MLA for Waverley introduced Bill 233: Filipino Heritage Month Act in Thursday’s session at the Manitoba Legislature. The bill will recognize the month of June as Filipino Heritage Month, which has been a traditional month of celebration because of Philippine Independence Day celebrated on June 12. Manitoba’s Filipino community has been an integral part of the province’s social, economic, political and cultural fabric. The Filipino Heritage Month Act is an opportunity to recognize the community for their outstanding contribution to Manitoba.
