On June 27, TFC and the Philippine Legacy and Cultural Alliance (PLACA) have partnered to present All for One, in celebration of Canadian Multiculturalism Day.

Celebrating Canada's All For One Multiculturalism Day with music performances from Moira Dela Torre, Inigo Pascual, Kiana V, Darren Espanto (national anthem) alongside Canadian talent like August Rigo, Annie Lux,, Charlotte Fabro, CyAnne, Elyssa Plaza, Jessie Cabrera, John Concepcion, Keith Pedro, Tiffany Ponce, Vinsint & more!

Canadian Multiculturalism Day is celebrated across the country annually on June 27 to discover and appreciate the wealth and diversity of Canadian society. Canada takes pride in ensuring that all citizens value and preserve their identities and pass on their heritage to their children while enjoying a sense of belonging within the Canadian society.
 
The country recognizes that Canada is built on the strength of immigration. Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Marco Mendicino stated in CIC Canada Immigration Newsletter that “Welcoming immigrants will help to grow the labour market, support businesses, and ensure that ‘Canada remains the best country in the world.’”
 
In an interview with Adobo Nation host Ginger Conejero, ABS-CBN Country Manager for Canada Kerwin Du agrees that Canada is a very embracive country. He explains that when you move to a country “where people will accept you for who you are and treat you in the same way that they treat everybody else, the process of adjustment and transition makes it a lot easier.”

According to Du, “Heritage Canada is sponsoring local community organizations to hold events, albeit virtually at this time, so that we can all celebrate the various cultures that form the fabric of Canada.” Du added that “It’s important for us Filipinos to celebrate our heritage and make our presence felt,” that is why they mounted All for One.
 
All for One is a two-hour virtual get-together that weaves and shares its culture through music and the arts. The show features local talents Annie LuxAugust RigoCharlotte FabroCyanneElyssa PlazaJessie CabreraJohn ConcepcionKeith PedroTiffany PonceVinsintAlyssa DatuMaria Panaligan, and the Fiesta Filipina Dance Troupe.
 
Headlining the event are singer/songwriter Inigo PascualR&B artist Kiana V“Queen of Emotions” Moira dela Torre, and Canadian-born Filipino singer Darren Espanto. Adobo Nation’s Conejero hosts the event.
 
On the actual event day, All for One earned about 17,000 views on social media (Facebook: TFC Canada OfficialMYXTV and PLACA), and is expected to reach over 350,000 viewers via all TFC platforms available in Canada.
 
PLACA Chairman Lino Eroma was grateful for the partnership with TFC and to the thousands of viewers who supported their first virtual event. He expressed that “Yesterday was another milestone in our FilCan community as we joined together from coast to coast to coast in thanking Canada through our offering "All for One" on Multiculturalism Day that showcased the greatness of our Filipino Canadian community.”
