Bringing Pride to all Filipinos around the world
To all of my kababayans here in Romania,
For the past few years, we are
looking for the best possible way to mean-
ingfully connect with each other. We want-
ed to feel that we have a family here
abroad even though we are mile and
miles away from home. I know not every-
one has direct access to the internet, and
so when this opportunity came of creating
a newsletter, I thought that we can clearly
read through the lines on what we do here in Romania as a communi-
ty. It would be also our major instrument to connect with one another,to reach out to as many Filipinos here in Romania and also to reach
out to our readers back home, our government, our families and to any
ordinary Filipino in the street, that we are here in Romania and we
have a strong and united Filipino community that we are proud of. So
welcome everyone to our first issue of Pinoy Sa Romanianewsletter.
This newsletter will get us connected in so many ways, ex-
changing stories of our experiences and informing everyone of what is
going on in the community. We want to make sure that we document
everything that we do here, because we take pride on them. We also
want to reach you on important information about upcoming communi-ty events. Through this newsletter, we can reach out to other Filipinos
outside of Bucharest to help us build a stronger community, and to
promote our Filipino culture and traditions. We are hoping to build a
stronger ties with our Philippine Embassy in Budapest, and eventually,
keep us informed timely on policy changes and programs for Filipinos
overseas. We are positive that we can achieve more as a Filipino
community here in Romania, with all of your support and your contri-
butions to make this newsletter more relevant, productive and a
source of Pinoy pride. Mabuhay ang Pinoy Sa Romania newsletter!
Mabuhay po tayong lahat na Pilipino!

Two years after the Philippine Embassy left Romania in 2012, the Filipino com-munity has stopped celebrating one of its most important community events the Philip-pine Independence Day Celebration. This year, on June 15, 2014, TFCR took a dramaticmove to bring back what seems to be a most sought-after and uniting element amongFilipinos all over the world. With a crowd close to 150 people, the event was truly memo-rable for all those who took the time to be present.
A dedicated mass intended for Philippine Independence Celebration was offici-ated by Father Eduard Giorge who is the Parish Priest of Sacred heart Church. It was theopening of the festivities. Following the program was a folk dance extravanganza frommembers of TFCR. A line-up of cultural and traditional dances left everyone Filipinoand non-Filipino guests in awe of the superb performances.
Dances performed at the festive event included Subli, Muslim Dance, Bulak-lakan and Ifugao Dance. Featured in the event was a Filipino Food Fest which introducedFilipino delicacies to the public. Traditional Filipino games only played and known to Fili-pinos were displayed during the event. TFCR hopes to bring another celebration of Phil-ippine Independence in the years to come. A lot of positive feedback were from Romani-ans were reported to TFCR members. Reports said that the locals here in Romania werefascinated by Filipinos exceptional talents and creative display of their culture throughtheir perfomances.
The event was held at the IMY Place in Bucharest, Romania. It is one organiza-
tion here in Romania that hosts community events. It is funded by the European Union.TFCR has built a great relationship with the IMY Place. It will serve as the venue of otherFilipino events in the future.
Started in 2012, TFCR holds its annual Summer Beauty, an event that gathers Filipinos in Romania to re -new and find newships, promote sportsmanship, and strengthen ties. It was known as TFCR Summer Babes, but was later changed to Summer Beauty.
This year, the event was held at the IMY Place in Bucharest on July 27, 2014. Attended by about 130 people, the event showFilipino beauty and talents. Event organizers believe that by staging the Summer Beauty, they are bringing the Philippines closer to the of Romania. Organizers were interviewed and featured in a Romanian local TV channel. This is just another pride moment for Pinoysmania. The overwhelming success of the event has benefited the local orphanage Casa Agar Orphange, where TFCR member hadwith the clients and presented gifts and donations.
