IN-KIND DONATIONS

This is completely optional. Your presence alone is already an act of bayanihan.

WHY TAKBO PARA SA WIKA?
Every August, the Philippines celebrates Buwan ng Wika — a month dedicated to honouring the Filipino language as a living expression of who we are.
We bring that celebration to Brisbane.
Because our language travels with us. Because movement heals. Because running together reminds us that even far from home, "hindi tayo nag-iisa."
We are not alone.
