The Filipino Festival is a month-long celebration of Philippine culture and heritage. Aside from The Filipino Music Fest, it will also bring “The Filipino Food and Products Fest,” “The Filipino Fashion Fest,” and “The Filipino Film Festival.”

The celebration of The Filipino Festival will culminate in the back-to-back final competitions of The Miss Philippines Culture and Heritage Celebration and the Mister Pilipinas Worldwide competition at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City on Oct. 24. EDV
