February 2017 Issue – Celebrate Multicultural Marriage

We’re excited to release our February 2017 issue (Volume 2, Issue 2)!

We’re blessed to be in a country that embraces multiculturalism.  So we decided to CELEBRATE MULTICULTURAL MARRIAGE in time for Valentines’ Day!

In this issue, we connected with six amazing couples who shared their story and gave us insights on marriage.

There was a tremendous amount of planning involved to make this issue a reality! I want to especially thank our key partners for their hard work and dedication in bringing the best, value-add, Filipino-Canadian made magazine to the FilCan community, and to the greater Canadian community.

One of our goals is to bring our FilCan writers, contributors, and sponsors to the mainstream media for all communities (not just the FilCan community) to see.  I believe that with this issue, our team has brought us closer to this goal.

Expect to see FCM at your local offices, dental clinics, law offices, community centers, hospitals, and many more establishments where people congregate!  This will bring great exposure to our contributors and open bigger markets for our sponsors and advertisers!

So again, thank you to the following partners, contributors, and supporters of our magazine!  I encourage many more of you to join us as we present the FilCan community in a positive light to all communities across Canada!

A BIG THANK YOU TO…

  1. Such a very timely magazine. I hope we can have a bit of this in Australia as there are so much statistics with Filipina women married to Australian men or any other non-Pinoy.
