Re-acquaint yourself with Philippine heritage in Australia

What can you do with one hour? A lot, our friends from Adelaide say.For example, with one hour on Saturday, December 8, you can re-acquaint yourself with your heritage. Or, to others: You can discover your heritage.

This is what the Filipino-Australian community in Adelaide promise in their campaign for the upcoming unveiling of a memorial plaque. And we like their campaign. It’s not your usual type of campaign in the Philippine community in Australia.

Yes, on that day our kababayans will unveil a plaque as a tribute to the early Filipino settlers in Australia, and the guests will have a journey back in the past. But more than that, it gives new dimensions to Philippine contributions to Australian history.

Yes, the day is going to be a tribute too to the modern Filipinos or to those of Philippine descent who have made good in their respective fields in Australia. But more than that, these are the people in Australian entertainment or sports who make Filipinos proud of their origin.

So where can you learn more about the Filipino heritage?

If you live in Adelaide and you’re free from 1:30pm to 3:30pm of December 8, why not visit the South Australian Migration Museum, and be part of this event.

The museum is located at 82 Kintore Avenue, Adelaide.
