Florence de mayo festival

 

The flowers of May are in full bloom! Bask in the summer sun and enjoy the vibrance of Filipino talent and creativity as the Philippine Embassy in London takes you on a virtual tour to see the magnificent Manila on this episode of #FiestaFilipinas on 29 May 2021, 3:00 a.m. GMT. 

The fifth leg of Fiesta Filipinas will showcase the annual Flores de Mayo festival held all over the country every month of May. Through the “Santacruzan,” which is the parade held during this festival, you can witness the beauty and grace of the community as Filipinos are not only able to show their devotion but also their artistic flair through the intricately designed gowns and parade decor.

 The virtual tour brings you to the country’s capital, Manila, wherein the old meets the new in the city where continuous reinvention and restoration brings out the beauty and history of the city.

Antiemetic for Homesickness book cover

 

The Philippine Embassy in London congratulates UK-based nurse Romalyn Ante on the shortlisting of her debut poetry collection, Antiemetic for Homesickness, for the 2021 Book Of The Year Jhalak Prize! 

Romalyn migrated to the UK from the Philippines at 16 years old when her mother, an NHS nurse, brought the family to the UK. 

Antiemetic for Homesickness explores migration, nursing, a sense of fracture, and healing. Published by Chatto & Windus/Penguin Random House, the book was also named Poetry Book of the Year 2020 by the Irish Times and the Poetry School. Romalyn’s book is available at several major bookstores such as Waterstones, WH Smith, Foyle and on Amazon and Kindle.

You can hear Romalyn read some of the poems from the book here:
