This coming weekend, a group of Filipino community here in Michigan will celebrate the Philippines Independence Day again. It's an event to commemorate the national day of Independence of the Philippines from Spain colonization on June 12, 1898.So, this coming June 8, the Kalayaan (Independence) Picnic will be celebrating this year's "Noodle Fiesta Celebration" which brought to you by FILAMCCO. It will be held at Halmich Park in Warren, MI which is about 20 to 20 minutes away from where I lived. I really wanted to go to the picnic party, but unfortunately, I can't do it due to hubby's work. I really wanted to go to see the event's exciting program and also my kids to enjoy playing outside. And, I also missed Filipino foods especially the Lechon na Baboy (roasted pig)which I'm sure would be the star of the celebration as well as seeing old friends as well.
At the event there will be games and dancing, parade of colors and some cultural shows that I'm sure lots of people were so excited to watch and to reminisced about. There is also a live band playing, the High Bias and lots of things to do as well!
Actually, two years ago, I went to one of its annual celebration but since then, I haven't got a chance to come back. I hope this time, I can but still there are always hindrances.
So, maybe next year? I hope so. All I can say now is have fun, my Filipino friends. I wish I could see and have some chit chats with you guys this time but there is still more time.
