Just like stars, we each carry our own light— unique, powerful, and full of potential. But together, we shine even brighter.
Our theme this year is Bituin (Tagalog for “star”), celebrates connection, purpose, and legacy— lifting each other up across generations to build a constellation of changemakers. Save the date and join us!

Pinoys on Parliament
In 2018, members of the Filipino Students Association of the University of Ottawa (FILSAUO) recognized the significant underrepresentation of Filipino/a/x-Canadians in the Canadian government. They felt there was a need for a dynamic space where young individuals could network, learn from established leaders, and gain insights into the fields they aspire to excel in.
Pinoys on Parliament (POP) was born from this vision and has since become the first, largest, and only national leadership conference for Filipino/a/x youth in Canada. Held annually in Ottawa, Ontario, POP empowers participants to connect, grow, and lead within their communities.
