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.
