It’s a celebration of Filipino fashion at SHOWPAO: The Gala Fundraiser 2024. Each year this event focuses on the Filipinx community’s diversity in Montreal by highlighting an aspect of their culture and creative talents. For this edition, it’s fashion. 

“It’s kind of like a huge celebration for Filipinos as we watch our representative be on stage and showcase our culture through fashion,” said Rudyard Pejo, the co-event head of the Filipino Organization of Concordia University Students, which organized the event.

“In the showcase, you will see the reimagined looks of people in the Philippines from the three main islands, so Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.”
