It gives me great pleasure to be celebrating the Philippine Language and Cultural Association’s 5th Anniversary tonight. One of our City’s great strengths is the diversity of cultural backgrounds and as Mayor, I consider myself very lucky to be able to learn about many different groups and cultures and to share special occasions, like this, with our diverse Penrith community.
I’m continually impressed with the work of Philippine Language and Cultural Association and their efforts to increase awareness and understanding of the Philippine heritage, culture and values.
Penrith City Council has a close relationship with the association and has enjoyed working on the Read Philippines project, the Penrith Filipino Barkada Youth Group forum and the Penrith Community Filipino School recently.
I would like to thank the Philippine Language and Cultural Association for celebrating, sharing and preserving the Filipino culture and heritage and for continuing to enrich our City through your events, programs and projects.
Congratulations and best wishes for the next five years.
Councillor Greg Davies
Mayor of Penrith City
