Philippine Village

Tuloy po kayo sa aming “Nayong Pilipino”! Welcome to the Philippine Village!

The “Nayong Pilipino” (in English PHILIPPINE VILLAGE) is proud to participate in this year’s Brantford International Villages Festival. The Philippine Village is located at Sydenham Street United Church Hall, 120 Sydenham Street (at Dundas Street) which is wheelchair accessible.

The culture of the Philippines reflects the complexity of its history through the blending of cultures of diverse indigenous civilizations and foreign influences such as Hispanic, American, Malayo-Polynesian, Chinese and Japanese, and also a number of minority religious groups like Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism. Ecologically, the Philippines is one of the most diverse countries in the world.
The Philippine Village will be presenting bits and pieces of these various cultural influences through a showcase of folkdances and songs, tasty cuisine, costumes and handicrafts. The Philippines is also known for its beaches and other tourist spots so video of the various tourist places will be shown at the village.

The Philippine Village is mainly hosted by the Filipino-Canadian Association of Brantford (FCAB) that was formed in 1982 in which, one of its objectives is to promote the rich Philippine culture. FCAB has participated in the International Villages Festival in the past, and is pleased to be able to participate again this year. Last year, the organization joined the Asia Village represented by the countries of India, Philippines and Thailand.

It is our hope that everyone who would come to the Philippine Village will enjoy all that we have to offer: entertainment, food and hospitality.

See you at the Philippine Village! MABUHAY!
