It's very rewarding to see all the people young & old. I walked the downtown area of Hamilton and reached out to them especially the new migrants and they came......the pictures says it all! The Ambassador extends his thanks to the Filipinos of Hamilton and was very happy to have met, mingled & shook their hands especially the new migrants. Ruby
