Filipino Expats Blog in Thailand

Filipinos in Bangkok can now attend a holy mass in Tagalog. Finally after years of living in Thailand, we are blessed with this opportunity.

This is especially good for those families with kids and you’d like them to hear some Tagalog words, sing Tagalog songs, and yes, meet Tagalog-speaking people. Our daughter, who is 8, and who only mostly hears Ilonggo at home, asked in the middle of the mass, “Mommy, what language is this?” Nge!

But it was so great that this has been started. There’s even a fellowship after the mass, so your kids get to bond with other kids of Filipino parents. Feel free to bring something Filipino to share with others at the end of the mass.

Next week, I have to make sure I’ve learnt how to say “Ama Namin” come Sunday, kasi yung Ilonggo version lang ang alam ko, eh. Haha!
