On 02 September 2023, Saturday, the Philippine Consulate General in Melbourne visited La Trobe University’s Borchardt Library in Bundoora. The library showcased their Philippine Collection, which includes a selection of rare materials from history and society to scientific research on the Philippines’ diverse flora, fauna, and urban environments. The Borchardt Library has been a resource hub for Filipino-related materials since the late 1960s.
Following the library visit, the Consulate also visited Café Kusina, a restaurant offering a taste of the Philippines located on Burke Road in Camberwell. The menu features an array of Filipino dishes, including fan-favorites like crispy pata and kare-kare.
The Philippine Consulate General in Melbourne urges Filipinos in Australia to explore and support Filipino arts exhibits, products, and other forms of artistic expression, both locally and globally.
