Our hearts are heavy as we mourn the tragic events that unfolded during the Lapu-Lapu Day Festival in Vancouver. A celebration meant to honor Filipino heritage turned into a scene of unimaginable sorrow.

At PAPA, we stand in solidarity with the Filipino community in Vancouver and around the world. We condemn this senseless act of violence and extend our deepest condolences to the families and friends of those affected. The strength and resilience of the Filipino community are evident, and we join in mourning and support.

Let us remember the lives lost and commit to fostering communities where such tragedies have no place.
