York Centre MP Michael Levitt today made the following statement in the House of Commons on the occasion of Philippine Independence Day to celebrate the 119thanniversary of Philippine inde- pendence from colonial rule: “As a proud representative of one of the largest Filipino communities in Canada, I had the privi- lege of standing with the Philippine Consul Gen- eral, Mayor Tory and Filipino community leaders, to proudly raise the Philippine flag at Toronto City Hall,” Mr. Levitt said.

Canada is home to one of the fastest growing Filipino communities in the world.

“In my riding of York Centre, and across Canada, Filipino-Canadians make rich contribu- tions to their communities, and help to build a better Canada for us all. I am incredibly proud that York Centre is home to Toronto’s Little Manila, as well as hosting annual events like the Salu Salo Picnic and the Taste of Manila Festival,” Mr. Levitt continued. “On this poignant anniversary, I want to acknowledge the importance of the Filipino com- munity to Canada, and wish them a happy independence day. Maligayang Araw ng Kalayaan! Mabuhay!”
