Ever since high school, I have proudly been an active member in the Filipino community. From taking part in pageants (which has become a rite of passage for a tall Filipina girl), to being a principal dancer with an international touring folk dance company (Folklorico Filipino Canada), to being a volunteer on the board of directors for Canada Philippine Fashion Week (CPFW)for two consecutive years. This invitation is a lovely gift from the founder of CPFW, Jeff Rustia, and I am honoured to be a part of this memorable occasion.
