Such an epic day of the Filipino-Canadian Book Festival full of belly laughs, tender hearts, healing for our inner children, and lots of kapwa spirit that stretched from Montreal to Toronto to Vancouver and beyond.

Flip through to see our highlights of the day featuring playwrights, poets, fiction writers, graphic novelists, and picture book authors.

Tagging yesterday’s speakers so you can follow them and support Fil-Can writers:

Thank you to the @museumofvan for hosting us over the last two days, to @irondogbooks for having the most thoughtful Filipino book table, and of course, to Nathalie, Dani, and Asia of @filcanbookfest for making all of this famjam magic happen.

And special shout-out to @tomaiohere for bringing our trio of “east coasters” to Kitsilano Beach for the perfect post-festival picnic at golden hour ☀️

Till next time, Vancouver fam!
