Filipino community celebrations
Nathan LAMBERT (Preston) (09:56): I would also like to take the opportunity to congratulate the Damayan society on a fantastic Filipino–Australian Multicultural Festival on the weekend. Well done to president Tennie Ramirez, secretary Dorothy Sofra, MCs Ana and Elizabeth and the whole team for putting on a great afternoon of singing, dancing, fashion shows and Filipino cuisine. We in this place all know the huge contribution the Filipino community make to Victoria, our sixth largest migrant group now, and it was fantastic to have the opportunity to share in their culture.
