Fos said that the Paskong Pinoy is a three-in-one event mounted by all-volunteer effort, aimed at bringing a slice of “Pinoy Christmas” in faraway Norway.
“Paskong Pinoy…is a way for the Philippine Embassy to bring together this over a thousand-strong crowd—the biggest so far in an embassy-initiated event—and showcase our unique brand of Christmas here in Norway,” he added. Since it was also a gift-giving celebration, individuals nominated by the choirs were given bags of Christmas and Filipino goodies. It was part of the Philippine government’s assistance to overseas Filipinos, the Department of Foreign Affairs-Office of Migrant Workers Affairs, and the embassy.
Apart from showcasing the Filipino kind of Christmas in Norway, Fos hoped that the Paskong Pinoy would further strengthen the sense of community among Filipinos in Norway: “We at the embassy hope to count on your support as we hold events, [as well as] other programs and initiatives over the next years.”
