PR-2021-14

07 April 2021, Toronto, Canada. – The Philippine Consulate General in Toronto celebrated the 14th World Autism Awareness Day (5 April 2021) during its flag-raising ceremony held on Tuesday, 6 April 2021, as Easter Monday is a holiday in Canada.

Immediately after the flag-raising and Panunumpa sa Watawat ceremonies and recitation of the DFA Foreign Policy, Consul General Orontes V. Castro gave brief remarks on the significance of the occasion. He mentioned that we should be more compassionate to those with autism spectrum, especially during this time of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Consulate General had a banner especially made for the 14th World Autism Awareness Day, which was prominently displayed in the Consulate’s Consular area and posted in its official website and Facebook page.

This year’s Philippine Theme is “Empowerment and Equal Opportunity: Together we can Create a Kinder and Inclusive World for Persons with Autism”. The United Nations Theme on the other hand is “Inclusion in the Workplace: Challenges and Opportunities in a Post-Pandemic World”. -END

Philippines on a Plate is a series of online conversations that will bring together Filipino farmers, culinary historians, chefs and gastronomic experts from the local food industry to discuss how we can influence local food cultivation and establish preservation initiatives that can transform the eating landscape.
