The Embassy of the Philippines in Canada joins the nation in celebrating the Filipino Food Month.

Filipino food has long played a significant role in the lives of the Filipino people everywhere. It has the ability to bind together people with many different backgrounds. The theme for this year’s Filipino Food Month “Pagkaing Sariling Atin, Mahalin at Pagyamanin”, aims to promote and raise awareness about the history behind our culinary heritage and recognize its role in our lives.

In line with this, the Philippine Embassy and Consulates General in Canada launched the second iteration of the Filipino Restaurant Month in Canada (FRMC). It 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 42 restaurants representing the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec, and Saskatchewan are participating in the FRMC, offering prix fixe menus to its customers throughout the entire month of April.
