If we intend to make our interest be recognized, all we need to do is make a noise about it! One may either write or talk about a certain issue. This is exactly what happened last weekend. In Vancouver, a Filipino parade entitled ‘Unang Hirit’ showcasing Filipino culture created a big noise. Some claimed it was the biggest and colorful parade organized by Filipinos. A street parade starting from Fras­er, Multicultural Helping House to St. Patrick Church ground at Main Street where trade exhibits, food stalls and entertainment shows were held. Many claimed it was successful! We hope the orga­nizers have a chance to evaluate the event turn out and how they can still improve by showcasing positive, significant and unique contributions of Filipinos to the Vancouver community.
