Pinoys on Parliament 2025: Panahon

Every year, Pinoys on Parliament (POP) empowers Filipino-Canadian youth by highlighting the excellence within our community, inviting trailblazing leaders to inspire the next generation to do the same.

This year, our theme, Panahon (in Tagalog, means: season/time/era/moment), speaks to the natural shifts delegates will experience in their life, both personally and professionally, and builds upon the lessons learned from last year’s theme - Laro - where delegates and community leaders alike discussed healing their inner child.

Join us for free on February 21 - 23, 2025 in Ottawa, Ontario for POP's 7th year!
