In many ways, the Kapisanan Philippine Centre saved my life. I became involved with this wonderful community of young, intelligent, creative, and awe-inspiring Filipinos nearly a year ago. And within that year, I’ve been able to:
- act in a Fringe Festival play that received best ensemble cast + huge critical acclaim
- perform my own music in front of a vibrant crowd for the annual summer event, Kultura
- work on tons of different productions + edit more video than I could have ever imagined
- collaborate with brilliant minds who always push the boundaries of art & culture
- embrace my roots + make a real effort to learn more about what it means to be Filipino

We had a fantastic year. I have never been so proud of knowing where I come from. And if you know anything about me and my history, you’ll know that’s a pretty big deal. I also feel really blessed to have met the people I have at the KPC. These are some of the greatest people you could ever be lucky enough to meet and I’m grateful and honoured to be able to call them my friends. This retrospective was a pure labour of love <3 and I look forward to another great year with “the K”.
