Virtual Filipino market "Magkasama" is launching in Vancouver June 15

Vancouver’s super popular Filipino market, Magkasama (together in Tagalog), is officially making a comeback next week, but this time, virtually.

The modern Filipino market saw huge success during its first two physical events last year, and now, it’s back in a different format suitable for these physically-distant times we’re living in.

With an aim to educate patrons and support Filipino entrepreneurs and their businesses, this time around Magkasama will feature 15 market vendors.
