Image
Police said on Sunday (April 27) they were investigating a mass casualty incident and had arrested a 30-year-old man at the scene after a number of people were killed and multiple others were injured in Vancouver when a vehicle drove into a crowd at a Filipino street festival Saturday evening. At a midnight press conference, police said that the suspect was "known" to them but did not elaborate. The man was initially taken into custody by people at the scene. The incident happened shortly after 8 p.m. Saturday evening (0300 GMT Sunday) near East 41st Avenue and Fraser Street, where the Lapu Lapu Day Block Party, celebrating a Philippine national hero, was taking place. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said on X: "I am devastated to hear about the horrific events at the Lapu Lapu festival in Vancouver earlier this evening." Jagmeet Singh, leader of Canada's New Democratic Party, was among the attendees at the event, but left minutes before the vehicle arr...

Happy Birthday Evelyn Luciano-Yumul! || Flashback to a #Santacruzan on Carmine St.

Image
Flashback to a Santacruzan on Carmine St. in Marikina Yes, that's me standing on the left.  I'm escort to Evelyn. Flores de Mayo  ( Spanish  for "flowers of May") is a festival held in the  Philippines  in the month of May. It is one of the  May devotions to the Blessed Virgin Mary  and lasts for the entire month. The  Santacruzan  (from the  Spanish   santa cruz , "holy cross") is the ritual  pageant  held on the last day of the  Flores de Mayo . It honors the finding of the  True Cross  by  Helena of Constantinople  (known as  Reyna Elena ) and  Constantine the Great . Its connection with May stems from the  May 3  date of  Roodmas , which  Pope John XXIII  deleted in the 1960s due to the trend at the time to abolish holy days that were either duplicates or dedicated to ahistorical saints. The  Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross  on September 14, whi...

UndiscoveredSF will remain undiscovered by us San Francisco Mint: We waited in line. But after a certain time, volunteers went up the line to let the people know that they were no longer letting people in because the San Francisco Mint was packed. They had reached the limit, and could not allow others to come in due to the restrictions. People had to leave before more folks could be let in. Nice video recap of the first ever UNDISCOVERED SF on August 18, 2017. Thanks to all those who braved the lines to celebrate Filipino culture. We're truly humbled by the overwhelming response for the first Creative Night Market in SoMa Pilipinas Filipino Cultural Heritage District in San Francisco! We want everyone to enjoy our vision of showcasing Filipino food, music, dance, poets, and vendors EVERY 3RD FRIDAY. Maraming salamat sa inyong lahat! 🙏🏽 RSVP for UNDISCOVERED SF here for Express Entry! https://t.co/8BTfGFJx4R pic.twitter.com/Bs1QvfROiw — Undiscovered SF (@UNDISCOVER...
