Philippine Independence Day celebration

June 12 is a significant day for the Filipino community everywhere — including the estimated 200,000 Filipinos living and working in Singapore.

Embassy Events

The Philippine Embassy in Singapore typically holds a flag-raising ceremony and cultural program on Independence Day. These events are open to the Filipino community and include performances, food, and cultural displays.

Community Gatherings

Filipino organisations, churches, and community groups often hold their own celebrations — from prayer gatherings to simple get-togethers.

Why It Matters

For many OFWs, Independence Day is a reminder of home. It's a moment to reconnect with identity, heritage, and the ties that bind the Filipino community together, wherever they are in the world.

Event details for June 2025 will be updated closer to the date.
