Mabuhay Park 2nd Anniversary: Filipino Spirit Shines with Smiles

On September 20, 2025, the Filipino community in Edmonton proudly gathered for the Mabuhay Park 2nd Anniversary. The celebration burst with lively music, delicious food, and cultural performances that highlighted the pride, unity, and resilience of Filipinos abroad.

Celebrating Filipino Culture and Community at Mabuhay Park 2nd Anniversary

Over the past two years, Mabuhay Park has transformed into more than just a gathering space—it has become a true home where Filipinos connect, honor their roots, and pass down traditions to future generations.

At the 2nd Anniversary of Mabuhay Park, the energy was contagious. Live music filled the air, laughter echoed across the park, and the warm Filipino spirit of bayanihan brought everyone closer together.

Smiles Mobile Remittance: Supporting Filipinos Beyond Money Transfers

As a proud community partner, Smiles Mobile Remittance joined the Mabuhay Park 2nd Anniversary celebration with great pride. For us, the event went beyond festivities—it reminded us of the many ways Filipinos stay connected worldwide.

At Smiles, we offer more than just a remittance service. While we make sending money home fast and secure, we also stand with Overseas Filipinos (OFWs) by supporting cultural events and honoring their contributions in Canada and around the world.

Bayanihan in Action: What Made Mabuhay Park’s 2nd Anniversary Special

The success of the event was built on the collective efforts of the Filipino community:

1. Performers – singers, dancers, and cultural groups combined tradition with modern artistry, showcasing the depth and richness of Filipino talent.
2. Vendors who offered authentic Filipino dishes and handcrafted goods, giving everyone a nostalgic taste of home.
3. Volunteers who worked tirelessly behind the scenes, keeping everything seamless and reflecting the true value of community service.

Together, they proved that the Filipino tradition of bayanihan—working together—remains alive and thriving, even far from home.

Looking Ahead: The Future of Mabuhay Park and Filipino Spirit in Edmonton

The Mabuhay Park 2nd Anniversary stands as proof of the strength and resilience of the Filipino community in Edmonton. With ongoing support from local businesses, organizations, and individuals, more events like this will continue to celebrate and preserve Filipino culture abroad.

From all of us at Smiles Mobile Remittance, maraming salamat po to everyone who made this event unforgettable. Here’s to more gatherings, more Smiles, and more reasons to be proud of being Filipino—wherever we may be.
