Who would have thought that World War II would pave the way for the friendship between the Philippines and Australia?

Happy PH-Australia Friendship Day!

Every May 22, since 1946, Australia and Philippines have made it a point to honor their friendship.

Australia fought alongside the Philippines to attain our liberation with their 4,000 brave men during WWII.

Today, the Philippines and Australia work with each other for peace, unity, education, development and defense. Australia is the second largest source of Official Development Assistance to the Philippines.

In 2016, the Australian Embassy proclaimed the official celebration of the Philippines-Australia Friendship Day, signifying the strong bond of the two countries for more than seven decades of trade and migration.

If you have Australian friends, relatives or loved ones, celebrate with them and show them the beauty of the Philippines. Take them to Filipino restaurants or make them eat Philippine exotic food like duck embryo (balut), chicken intestine (isaw), chicken feet (adidas), pig’s blood (Betamax) and a lot more. 

You can also take them to Philippine tourist spots and heritages. Make an exchange of favorite snacks and explore each other’s tastes. There are a lot of things to do as the Philippines and Australia are both great countries with great people. 

Let us all appreciate our ancestors’ way through this friendship. Happy Philippines-Australia Friendship Day!
