As everyone might know, here in Korea they have many special days for each month. And now a new day was added… “Together day.”This will be celebrated every 20th day of May based on the Foreigner’s Act. It aims to unite all races here in Korea and promote multiculturalism amidst diversity such that there will be harmony, understanding and respect for one another. It was inaugurated last May 20 at Seoul Olympic where several dignitaries here in Korea as well as other countries graced the occasion. Our ambassador Hon. Luis T. Cruz was chosen to deliver a short message and he stressed that this day will promote mutual understanding.

This day was celebrated here in Ansan last May 25 at the Hwarang Park. In the morning, several performances from different countries were showcased by several migrant workers. Of course our very own AFC dancers with Pearl of the Orient showed our own cultural dances such as “Aray” and “Bulaklakan”. The AFC Dancers also performed a modern dance to the tune of “Turiso”, a Korean song which means “Two of us”. The dance enticed most of the audience especially the Koreans. A Walkathon was held in the afternoon which was followed by a concert. Several artists from different countries such as Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, Korea and Philippines performed in the said event. Aiza Seguerra was the artist invited from Philippines. She sang “Ipagpatawad Mo” and “Pagdating ng Panahon”. The event ended with the braiding of different colors symbolizing unity and togetherness among different nations here in Korea.
