It was a beautiful but somber Saturday evening as members of the Markham Federation of Filipino Canadians (MFFC), dignitaries and the public stood before the Jose Rizal memorial in Markham and held a candlelight vigil following the fateful events in Vancouver on April 26, 2025 at the Lapu Lapu festival. Markham Mayor Frank Scarpitti as well as Regional Councillors Joe Li and Alan Ho and MP Michael Ma spoke in turn to express their support for the Filipino community.

This award to 3 members of the Markham Federation of Filipino Canadians (MFFC) does not come at a better time. As the majority of Canadians are feeling patriotic during these troubling times, we at MFFC could not be more proud of the award our founding members have received. 

December 18, 2024 - The Markham Federation of Filipino Canadians held their Annual General Meeting on December 18th, 2024 via Zoom. This is the fifth year the AGM has been held virtually.

Markham, ON – On Friday evening, as the Markham Federation of Filipino Canadians (MFFC) were marking their 35th Anniversary, local MPP Logan Kanapathi formally congratulated the group on work being done thanks to receiving a $96,300 Capital grant from the provincial government’s Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF).
