Had an amazing time hosting @philfestsauga yesterday with Kris Pangilinan! 🎤🎉 It was such a fun-filled day with celebrity guests AJ Rafael and Acoya. It was also wonderful meeting Mississauga Mayor Carolyn Parrish and, of course, always nice to see our much-loved MP Rechie Valdez. 🇨🇦🇵🇭 One of the highlights was seeing so many of my MISSISSAUGA CLIENTS at the event! ❤️ It’s always special to see them outside of real estate and share moments like these together. Thank you so much for having me! I had an absolute blast and truly enjoyed every moment. 🎤✨ #SOLDbyG #PhilFest #AJRafael #filipinorealtorcanada #buhaycanada

Still reeling over Tuesday’s crazy events judging with @apldeap of @blackeyedpeas at @seafoodcitycanada Scarborough via @weareaplfi thanks to @msgvjopanda after I had jokingly commented that I would enter the Bebot Dance Challenge…. I was gonna pull up anyways and the fact that my involvement became a bigger part of it than I even knew is a testament to alignment and the Universe working its magic! The fact this all brought the Filipino community together impacted me - real talk - in the spirit of Bebot-ness (it’s a real quantifiable thing 😭). Bebot is intergenerational - it’s a Pinay strength, unwavering confidence, baddie-tude (omg I just made that up), a kikay(girlie)-ness and resourcefulness. Made me really proud to be Pinay and want to explore how we can make Bebot events a thing 💕✨ (not even kidding). Not to get long winded! Here’s some pics via @kalamansi.collective and cuts from this great article by frequencynews.ca via @mabuhaycanada. See y’all at My Debut on Saturday Aug 29 in Scarbs! (tix linked in bio). 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 My lucky shirt: @arapilak Khakis: @mercyhousestudio @frocktoronto Shades styled by my cuz @jonthebarber3xog #fyp #filipino #pinay #bebot #relatable

Still trying to process this one. 🇵🇭 We grew up listening to The Black Eyed Peas and Bebot. It’s one of those songs that has always felt bigger than just a song. It was Filipino pride, culture and identity being celebrated loudly and unapologetically on a global stage. Years later, Kalamansi Collective created a special edition Bebot shirt with Apl.de.Ap, @weareaplfi and @seafoodcitycanada . We’ve worked hard to build Kalamansi Collective, to tell our stories our way, and to create something that makes people take notice of Filipino culture. Moments like this remind us why we started. The shirt celebrates the words and moments that made Bebot feel like ours, from “Yung kanin, chicken adobo” to the iconic “Filipino, Filipino, Filipino, Filipino.” The brownish-purple colourway is a nod to the line “Pero masaya parin ang kulay” and the celebration of Filipino identity at the heart of the song. As a Filipino-Canadian brand built on carrying our culture forward, getting to create alongside someone whose music helped put Filipino culture on the global stage is a full-circle moment we will never forget. From listening to Bebot on repeat to creating a Bebot shirt with Apl.de.Ap. We dreamed of moments like this. And we’re just getting started. 🇵🇭 A personal thank you to @apldeap, @ianoianoiano and @msgvjopanda for believing in what we’re building and for bringing us into such a special moment. This one will stay with us for a long time. 💚 📷: @j_osa

There’s power in knowing who you are and choosing to show up as exactly that. Take up space. Tell your story. Stay curious, keep learning, be painfully unapologetically your self and bring people with you as you grow. That’s the superpower. 🇵🇭 First panel. Toronto City Hall. Talking about owning the narrative. @kalamansi.collective @kalamansichats @mabuhay_to

A quick trip back to Toronto to celebrate @mabuhay_to and join this year’s Kalamansi Chat panel for an honest, thoughtful, and inspiring conversation about representation and owning your narrative as a Filipino-Canadian. I left that night feeling even more inspired — by the people in the room, @mayoroliviachow ‘s warm welcome, and the rockstar panelists I had the privilege of sharing the stage with. Big thanks to @viewsfromkris for creating a space to connect, share my journey, and bring the Filipino community together at Toronto City Hall. And if you haven’t checked out @kalamansi.collective yet, go check them out! @ifyouseekay._._ @michaelangelomcfly @glamzilla @theresaredula @viewsfromkris @kalamansi.collective

MJ Eats KALAMANSI FEST 2026 @kalamansi.fest @kalamansi.collective • • • • • The vibes at KALAMANSI FEST this year were great! This was my first time checking it out and it had a different vibe then the other festivals. It wasnt too big but not small at all, but the feel of community, friends and family was more present. Great weather, food, vibes and company, what else could you ask for!?! Looking forward to next year! • • • • • #MJEatsToronto #KalamansiFest2026 #KalamansiCollection #FilipinoFestival #TorontoFestival

Get Baked has given me the opportunity to be in rooms that are impactful, meaningful, and rooted in community. 🤎 “Narratives of Filipino” was a beautiful reminder that we don’t have to wait for others to tell our story—we get to own the narrative. From Kris building @kalamansichats with purpose and celebrating our community, to @ifyouseekay._._ , @jackieperezofficial, @michaelangelomcfly @glamzilla unapologetically redefining what it means to be Filipino—each story is different, and that’s the point. We’re challenging stereotypes, creating space, and rewriting the narrative in our own way. We’re not just telling our stories. We’re defining them. 🇵🇭

Mayor Olivia Chow welcomed Filipino Canadians to the Kalamansi Chat moderated by Kris Pangilinan and hosted at Mabuhay Philippines Festival. Food for thought on weaving new filipino diaspora narratives into the Canadian fabric.

Here’s what you need to know for Kalamansi Chats at Toronto City Hall! Doors Open at 6pm! Panel will begin at 6:45pm, we are gonna do our best not to run on Filipino time 😂 Also, there’s security at City Hall, don’t bring anything dangerous! We got tickets at the door, but just buy them online to save some money! We had to make sure you’re fed and well hydrated! Parking downtown is tough, good thing there’s parking underground. $10 gets you the evening max! Sadly, ya’ll ran us dry at Kalamansi Fest and during our drop, so we don’t have much to sell! Sorry! PICTURE PICTURE! Take pics and videos, but please no flash! Shoutout to our partners!
