COPENHAGEN 20 June 2024 – Thousands attended the Second Philippine Cultural Day on  15 June 2024 at the Copenhagen Town Hall Square.

Also featured was Pattong, an indigenous dance from the Cordilleras. Arnis exhibitions for children and adults also amazed the audiences. 

During the event, the undersigned highlighted this year’s Independence Day theme of “Kalayaan. Kinabukasan. Kasaysayan,” and how it related to the lives of overseas Filipinos in Denmark.
