A priority for the next president of the Philippines will be to improve the economic situation.

Millions of Filipino workers live overseas, remitting billions of dollars to improve the standard of living for their families.

The economic situation will have to improve massively to tempt these people to return home.

Triskelion Singapore Council was invited to participate in this year’s Ambassadors Cup Charity Bowling  Tournament. It was a tournament established as a support to the Philippine Ambassador in Singapore (which is currently Ms. Minda Cruz) and is currently on their 8th year. It was an event by the Filipino Bowlers Club of Singapore, supported by the Philippine Embassy.

Proceeds of this event went to the schools who were affected by the typhoon ‘ondoy’ last year. We bowl, had fun, and most importantly we helped!

Thanks again to Filipino Bowlers Club for the invitation and more power. We will be there again next year! Read the rest of this article »

Another charity project of Tau Gamma Phi - Triskelion Singapore Council.

It was indeed another fruitful and memorable experience as we, Triskelions, organized this wonderful event for our fellow ‘kababayans’ for the second time now. It was a fun-filled afternoon which brought joy to 36 ladies. Seeing their smiles and feeling their excitement was such a relief. Special thanks to Sis Bobong, OFW moms, and her Singaporean friend Mr. Iskander for their wonderful support (at sa mga brods/sis na nagpasaya ng event, wala ako masabi! Saludo ako brods at sis!).

Limang Taon… Ang Sarap Maging Triskelion!

Last Saturday we attended the  monthly FilCom (Filipino Community) meeting and at the same time Filcom’s Xmas Party at the Ambassador’s residence. It was an enjoyable and an unforgettable day as we were treated to a day full of surprises, gift-giving, and of course delicious Filipino delicacies.  Also, Sis Bobong Cutiongco was the emcee during the event.

Tau Gamma Phi was the only fraternity present during the occasion and the Ambassador herself was very thankful of us for gracing their annual event. Likewise, we are thankful to our beloved Ambassador, Minda Cruz, for the support she’s been giving not only to us but the entire Filipino Community in Singapore. Read the rest of this article »
