Filipinos in Europe and even non-Filipino fans have been enjoying almost weekly events brought to them by ABS-CBN The Filipino Channel (TFC) since the start of June 2015. For the first time ever, TFC Europe is bringing a four-pillar event series as a tribute to the “galing ng Filipino” (greatness of the Filipino): the TFC Fiesta Caravan 2015 that travelled to several countries; the launch of TFC@theMovies in mainstream cinemas in the region; the 31st London Barrio Fiestain July; and the much anticipated ASAP 20 Live in London in September.ABS-CBN Managing Director of Europe, Middle East and Africa Kai V. Rodriguez believes that this new and massive undertaking, done in partnership with in-region Filipino organizations and with parent company ABS-CBN Corporation in Manila, leverages the power of cultural festivals as a strong purveyor of heritage, an effective voice of diversity, a robust platform for self-expression and talent, and a dynamic venue for connecting people.“This ‘Pinoy Big Four’, if you will, is a collective statement that says without apologies that we Filipinos have arrived in Europe, what we are and offer are world-class, and that we have the numbers, the skills and the power to make a difference in European society,” Rodriguez said. “We believe in ourselves, we are proud of our ‘galing’ and we will let it shine wherever we are.”Here are captured scenes from the main events of June 2015 of TFC Europe (courtesy of TFC Europe and ABS-CBN Global Events):1) TFC Fiesta Caravan 2015 in Europe brings Gerald Anderson to the 2nd Barrio Fiesta sa Nordic on June 6 and Yorkshire Barrio Fiesta 2015 on June 7At left, Gerald Anderson with the fans at the 2nd Barrio Fiesta Sa Nordic on June 6 at the Chateau Neuf in Oslo, Norway, and at right, in Yorkshire Barrio Fiesta 2015 on June 7 at The Racecourse in North Yorkshire, England2) TFC Europe brings Arron Villaflor to Rome Independence Day Celebration 2015
