“Thanks to an increasingly connected and global world, anything Filipino and Portuguese need not be strange to each other”
We never had the good fortune to visit Portugal, but as fate would have it, here we are now, serving the fourth of our long missions that have taken us to Eastern Europe, the Americas, and the Middle East, to places where we had never been nor set foot on. The timelines of both the Philippines and Portugal seemed like two parallel lines that would never meet.Similarly, the parallel lines of the Philippines and Portugal were disproved with the lives of Filipino migrants fully integrated into the latter, our people slowly incorporating into their consciousness the Lusophone – — traditions and culture, and the Portuguese more aware of Filipinos than ever.
In celebration of Dia de Portugal, I join the Diplomatic Corps in official state festivities in Castanheira de Pera, Pedrogão Grande, and Coimbra on Northern Portugal with other official programs in Lisbon and the vibrant fiestas in the charming Alfama and Chiado districts.
