 Sinulog 01

The Filipino Community in Wales celebrated the Sinulog Festival in Swansea, Wales, on 19 January 2025, bringing together Filipinos and locals to honor the Santo Niño in a grand showcase of faith, culture, and community.

Ambassador and Mrs. Teodoro L. Locsin, Jr., along with officials from the Philippine Embassy, Deputy Head of Mission and Consul General Rhenita Rodriguez, Honorary Consul for Wales David Bentley-Miller and Ms. Maricar Romanillos, joined the Lord Lieutenant of West Glamorgan Louise Fleet, Lord Mayor of Swansea Paxton Hood-Williams and Lady Mayoress Patricia Hood-Williams.

The highlight of the Sinulog Festival was the Holy Mass officiated by Archbishop George Stack, with Canon Jason Jones and Fr. Roderick Teriote. The Mass, held at the iconic Brangwyn Hall, drew scores of attendees, including members of the Filipino community from across Wales. The altar was adorned with numerous Santo Niño images brought by the faithful, which were blessed by the clergy during the celebration.

Climbs Life

Ambassador Locsin received representatives of CLIMBS Life and General Insurance Co-operative and the Co-operative College of the Philippines, who are in the UK for their annual executive co-operative leadership masterclass. 

 The United Nations declared 2025 as the International Year of Co-operatives as a way to raise awareness of their contribution to the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals and to overall social and economic development.
