Filipino community

Pauline RICHARDS (Cranbourne) (11:03): I am very pleased to have the opportunity to rise today and talk about some of the wonderful things that have been going on in my community, particularly the Pinoy community. They held an extraordinary day last Saturday. The leadership of the Filipino community in Cranbourne is just something that really speaks to the values of the community. In particular I would like to acknowledge the cybersecurity and financial literacy forum that was held and, as always, managed by volunteers. Alfie Tilan, Ness Gonzalez, Rachelle Orodio, John Araneta and Derrick Castro have all been part of the committee that organised that. I was really fortunate to be able to participate.
