TFC Set to Showcase ‘Galing ng Filipino’ in Europe’s Biggest Pinoy Events

TFC Fiesta Caravan

Filipinos in Europe are in for a summer ride as ABS-CBN The Filipino Channel (TFC) kicks off for the very first time, a four-pillar event this year as a tribute to the “galing ng Filipino (greatness of the Filipino)” and to how far Filipinos in the region have come. The series of summer events kicks off with the annual “TFC Fiesta Caravan 2015” in June and July followed by the launch of TFC@theMovies also in June; the iconic “London Barrio Fiesta” in July; and the historic “ASAP 20 Live in London” in September. Many are calling them the “Pinoy Big Four” of Europe and combined attendance of all these events is expected to break records.

ABS-CBN Managing Director of Europe, Middle East and Africa Kai V. Rodriguez believes that this new and massive undertaking, done in partnership with in-region Filipino organizations and with parent company ABS-CBN Corporation in Manila, leverages the power of cultural festivals as a strong purveyor of heritage, an effective voice of diversity, a robust platform for self-expression and talent, and a dynamic venue for connecting people.

“This ‘Pinoy Big Four’, if you will, is a collective statement that says without apologies that we Filipinos have arrived in Europe, what we are and offer are world-class, and that we have the numbers, the skills and the power to make a difference in European society,” Rodriguez said. “We believe in ourselves, we are proud of our ‘galing’ and we will let it shine wherever we are.”
