The event aimed to provide essential consular services to Filipinos in Ottawa and the surrounding provinces while also honoring the contributions and strength of women across the country. The Saturday schedule allowed for greater accessibility, ensuring that those who work during the weekdays, especially women, had the opportunity to avail of the services.

The Embassy provided Bisita Be My Guest souvenir bags to women clients and treated them to purple-colored snacks. The gesture was specifically designed to honor women and girls, reinforcing the Philippines’ commitment to promoting gender equality and empowering women in all aspects of life.

This April, the Embassy of the Philippines in Canada joins the nation in celebration of the 7th year of Filipino Food Month (FFM) with the theme: “Sarap ng Pagkaing Pilipino, Yaman ng Kasaysayan, Kultura at Pagkatao.”

Pursuant to Presidential Proclamation No. 469 declaring the month of April of every year as Filipino Food Month (FFM) or Buwan ng Kalutong Pilipino, spearheaded by the Department of Agriculture (DA) as the lead agency, in collaboration with the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) and the Department of Tourism (DOT), this month-long celebration is made possible through the invaluable partnership of the Philippine Culinary Heritage Movement (PCHM) and other dedicated stakeholders.

This year’s commemoration highlights the urgent need to preserve and promote the country’s rich culinary traditions. By safeguarding age-old recipes, indigenous techniques, and regional flavors, the celebration fosters appreciation, empowers communities, and ensures the legacy of Filipino cuisine thrives for future generations.

In line with this, the Philippine Embassy and Consulates General in Canada invite everyone to join us in the fourth iteration of the Filipino Restaurant Month in Canada (FRMC). FRMC aims to promote and mainstream the Filipino cuisine in Canada, support the Filipino restaurants, highlight the skills of the Filipino chefs, and encourage the use of Philippine-made ingredients. A total of 19 restaurants representing the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, and Saskatchewan are participating in the FRMC, offering prix fixe menus to its customers throughout the entire month of April.

The Embassy also supports Le Cordon Bleu Ottawa as they hold Flavours of the Philippines, an exclusive dinner event on 25 April 2025. Follow cordonbleu.edu/ottawa for updates.

Our food is more than just nourishment—it’s a rich tapestry of heritage, history, and identity woven through generations.

Let’s unite in preserving and championing our culinary treasures—because every bite of Filipino food is a taste of our history.

Mabuhay ang Kalutong Pilipino!
