Estanislao delivered remarks commending Filipino Legacy Society headed by Chairperson singer-songwriter Warren Dean Flandez for sponsoring the event and keeping Filipino culture vibrant across British Columbia. Celebrating the show’s unique blend of horror, comedy, and healthcare as a testament to Filipino artistic ingenuity, Consul Estanislao framed the evening as a poignant tribute to Filipino healthcare workers who form a crucial backbone of care across Canada and B.C.
