1 September 2019, Calgary – The Philippine Consulate General in Calgary is pleased to announce that the online registration for the DISKUBRE Heritage Tour for Young Overseas Filipinos is now ongoing for the 2020 edition which will take place from 2 to 13 January 2020. The tour will bring participants to Manila and the cities of Legazpi, Naga, Sorsogon, Masbate, Camarines Sur in the Bicol region for only 1,125.00 USD (twin sharing). The deadline for registration is on 31 October 2019 with slots for only 20 participants available.

 

DISKUBRE, a joint project of the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs and the Department of Tourism, is an immersion tour for second-generation Filipinos and young foreign-born Filipinos and is designed to promote a deeper appreciation of Filipino heritage and a spirit of giving back to the motherland. The tour aims to open the participants’ mindset by providing a first-hand experience of a Filipino growing up or living in the Philippines. The tour hopes that the participants’ exposure to host communities and Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) and their experience in helping out in their livelihood will create an awareness of the issues their kababayans are facing that will lead to initiatives with a positive impact on the host communities in the Philippines.
