A Filipino community group in Norway held a music festival and family gathering in Bergen, bringing together overseas Filipinos through local performances, cultural activities and community engagement, with support from PLDT Global and its digital marketplace TinBo.
The Himig Musikahan Pinoy Music Fest and FilNor Familietreff (Family Day) was organized by FilNor Sunnhordland, with support from Filipino Culture & Sports – Vestland, D-Production, The Yellow Room Music PH and the Philippine Embassy in Norway.
The music festival featured Filipino rock band Mayonnaise alongside Filipino musicians based in Norway, highlighting the activities of overseas Filipino performers and community organizations.
Ching Villalon, a board member of FilNor Sunnhordland, said the event provided Filipino musicians in Norway with an opportunity to develop their talent and share their work with the community.
“What makes Himig Musikahan special to us is seeing Filipino talent grow here in Norway. Our musicians are not only keeping our music alive, but they are also creating something of their own and sharing it with the community,” Villalon said.
She thanked PLDT Global and TinBo for supporting the event and giving Filipino artists an opportunity to perform.
Supporting the gathering, TinBo organized interactive activities and offered digital rewards to attendees. The platform provides overseas Filipinos access to digital services, rewards and Philippine brands.
“By supporting Filipino organizations and cultural gatherings around the world, TinBo is able to bring our promise of alaga to life, creating meaningful moments that connect overseas Filipinos with their loved ones, their culture, and the brands and services that help them stay close to home,” said Albert Villa-Real, president and CEO of PLDT Global.
TinBo currently serves more than 400,000 customers worldwide, according to PLDT Global.
The company also cited Ramdam, its engagement and advertising solutions platform, as another way for Philippine brands to connect with overseas Filipino communities through digital campaigns and in-person activities.
PLDT Global said its support for community gatherings forms part of its efforts to engage Filipinos abroad through cultural activities and services that help them maintain connections with the Philippines.
