Around 10% of the Filipino working population is abroad, with almost 6,000 Filipinos leaving the country every day. For Filipinos growing up in the diaspora, our motherland is a foreign land. Why is the Filipino Dream to leave the Philippines? And what do Filipinos experience in their host countries when they migrate for a better life? Join Sulong UBC, Migrante BC, and Damayan BC, in collaboration with the BIPOC Extraordinary Working Group of the UBC Science Undergraduate Society, for our podcast exploring Filipino migration stories (kwentong migrante) in intergenerational dialogues between Filipino youth and migrant workers. This podcast is based on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
