Timothy, who lives in Belfast with his wife and son, ran a stall at the event.
He said it was very enjoyable day: “Whenever we have these kind of events everyone is just enjoying it, you don’t see any negatives, everything is positive.”
“Usually it is all about food, because a lot of the Filipinos here don’t get to have or enjoy the traditional food that we have out in the Philippines.”
“You can only fully find these foods whenever we have this kind of event.”
Timothy added it is a great chance to meet people who have also arrived from the Philippines and elsewhere.
“It’s a great chance to have fun, meet new people. Especially the Filipino community in Belfast, you don’t really see a lot of them, until you come to an event like this.”
“It’s also a chance to reconnect with our home country.”
