Our hearts tremble for the victims, their loved ones, and the Filipino-Canadian community. In this time of unbearable sadness, we mourn together, holding space for sorrow and offering our deepest, most broken-hearted condolences. #vancouver #asiancanadian #filipinoBC

We are shaken with grief and overcome by sorrow over the horrific tragedy at the Lapu Lapu Day Block Party in Vancouver. What should have been a day of joy and community was shattered into heartbreak and loss.
