An estimated 1 million Filipinos live in Canada , yet only one made it to the House of Commons .

This is despite Filipinos being the third -largest immigrant group in the country.

Rechie Valdez was the only Filipino Canadian candidate of Filipino descent to win a seat in parliament.

With about one million Filipinos in Canada , why can’t the community secure more seats in Parliament ? Dr. Rey Pagtakhan says people are afraid to run, or ran but didn't win, or it was just not their cup of tea.

Manitoba ’s first Canadian -born Filipino member of the legislative assembly, Jon Reyes , says the community needs more elected officials of Filipino background, regardless of party.
