About this Event
Every year, Pinoys on Parliament (POP) empowers Filipino-Canadian youth by highlighting the excellence within our community, inviting trailblazing leaders to inspire the next generation to do the same.
Our theme for this year is Samahan ("togetherness"). It is about intentionally coming together to share and experience the vast stories that make up the Filipino diaspora of Canada. Like the unassuming and diverse ingredients of halo-halo or the many strands woven together to make a banig.
Join us for free on February 19 - 21, 2027 in Ottawa, Ontario for POP's 9th year!

Who are we
- Founded in 2018 by members of the Filipino Student Associations of uOttawa, Pinoys on Parliament (POP) is Canada’s first and only 3-day national Filipino-Canadian leadership conference that has brought over a thousand delegates since its inauguration.
- Kabangka as a registered not-for-profit organization originated from POP’s establishment.
- The guiding principles of Kabangka are youth empowerment; good governance; partnership; collaboration; community; equity; diversity and inclusion; and non-partisanship — which builds onto the principle foundations of POP as well.
What do we do
- To create a space where Filipino/a/x-Canadian youth lead the conversation and utilise the power to facilitate change on issues and interests that are of importance to them;
- To uplift the community through identity exploration, professional and personal development;
- To build networks of young emerging and established leaders;
- To learn from emerging and established leaders in the fields they want to succeed in;
- To empower the current youth generation to create greater representation in the public, private and nonprofit sectors.
