Be a part of something bigger, join Mabuhay Fil-Can Inc. in our mission today

 On April 5, 2026,  Mabuhay Fil‑Can Inc. remains steadfast in its core mission of supporting both Filipinos and Canadians, including our fellow kababayan in the Philippines. Guided by these values, the Mabuhay Board of Directors continues to support public schools by prioritizing programs that directly uplift pupils and their families, from feeding initiatives to reading materials and essential family support.

Last month, we proudly partnered with Manticao Central School in Misamis Oriental for an outreach program that featured a bleacher project aimed at improving the school environment and enriching the daily experience of its pupils. 

This collaboration stands as a testament to our ongoing commitment to empowering communities not only in Canada but also in the Philippines, creating lasting and positive impact wherever it is needed most.
