127th Anniversary 01

Ambassador and Mrs. Teodoro L. Locsin Jr. joined the Filipino community in commemorating the 127th Anniversary of Philippine Independence with a special Mass at Our Lady of Victories Church in London.

In his message, Ambassador Locsin paid tribute to the Filipino community in the UK, highlighting their strength as bearers of national identity. He spoke of how Filipinos, in making the UK their second home, have brought with them their faith, culture, language, and dignity — enriching British society while staying true to who they are as Filipinos.

The Philippine Embassy in London is deeply concerned about the racist riots in Northern Ireland, reportedly triggered by an alleged sexual assault of a young girl by two Romanian teenagers. Unfortunately, in the ensuing unrest, Filipinos in the area have been targeted. The vehicle of one was set on fire. It is regrettable that innocent individuals have been caught in the crossfire.

The Embassy is closely monitoring the situation and is in constant coordination with local authorities to ensure the safety and security of all Filipinos in the area.

Ambassador Teodoro L. Locsin, Jr. is on a train  to Cardiff to raise the Filipino flag in a special ceremony at the Cardiff Castle at the invitation of the Welsh government, after which he will return to London and go to Northern Ireland to assess the situation on the ground, meet the Filipino community and ensure that no one else is hurt.

We urge all Filipinos in Ballymena and the surrounding areas to be vigilant, follow the guidance of local authorities, and contact the Embassy for any urgent assistance.

The Ambassador and his team will be in Northern Ireland by tomorrow morning.

Ambassador and Mrs. Teodoro Locsin, Jr. attended the Independence Day Gala of the Caviteños Association UK, a  celebration of heritage, unity, and national pride.
 

Held in honor of the 127th anniversary of Philippine Independence, the event paid tribute to Cavite’s historic role in the birth of the nation. It was in Cavite where the Philippine flag was first unfurled in 1898. Ambassador Locsin commended the Caviteño community in the UK for preserving their traditions while continuing to contribute meaningfully to British society.
