Filipino cultural show staged in Northern Beaches

NSW–Dee Why’s Filipino Catholic Organisation of Sydney (FILCOS North Shore) had its first cultural showcase to the diverse Northern Beaches community as part of its Council’s Multicultural Inclusion Plan 2029. The event was presented at the Meriton Square Dee Why Plaza on the 21st of September.

Established in 1981, FILCOS North Shore takes pride in promoting the beauty of Filipino culture, faith, customs and traditions in the vibrant community of the Northern Beaches region which is home to more than 266,000 residents from 123 different ancestries and over 110 countries of birth.

The members of FILCOS North Shore exhibited their genuine spirit and sense of bayanihan, as they showcased the Filipino cultural heritage with music, dances and radiant costumes. The joyous and classic Filipino folk dances including the Tinikling, Bulaklakan, and Sakuting were presented. The rich Filipino tapestry influenced by the Spanish and European culture was likewise in full display in the Paseo de Iloilo, Bailes de Antano and Estudiantina dances. The audience was also treated to the classic Filipino tradition of harana and a rich vocal harmony of Tagalog medley.

“This Filipino Cultural Showcase not only provided insights into the vibrant and diverse traditions of the Philippines, but it also aimed to strengthen the bonds of multiculturalism in the local community. It provided an opportunity for us all to learn from each other and enjoy the beauty of cultural exchange,” FILCOS North Shore says in a statement.
