This Christmas, weโ€™re opening our hearts through the Sack of Kindness Project. A humble sack of rice means nourishment for a Filipino family - it is survival, it is comfort, it is hope that can go beyond this holiday season.

Weโ€™re aiming to raise as many gifts of kindness as possible before December 20 so we can deliver them to the families before the holidays.

Your kindness can help a family celebrate Christmas with hope.
Share a Sack of Kindness. Share comfort. Share light.

๐Ÿ™ As the day slows and evening settles in, may we take a quiet moment to send thoughts of hope and compassion to those affected by Typhoon Tino. ๐Ÿ™

On Sunday, November 2, 2026, the halls of the Reformierte Kirchgemeinde Bรผmpliz were filled with the angelic voices of the Imusicapella Chamber Choir from the Philippines, led by their founder and conductor, Tristan Caliston Ignacio.

The ensemble captivated the audience with a rich and diverse repertoire, from beloved Filipino classics such as Leron-Leron Sinta and Rosas Pandan, to modern favorites like On the Wings of Love (popularized in the PH by Regine Velasquez) and We Will Rock You (by the Queens). They even surprised everyone with an ethereal rendition of KPop BTSโ€™s Permission to Dance.

To the delight of the multicultural audience, the performance ended with a standing ovation and enthusiastic calls for an encore. The choirโ€™s harmonies and heartfelt delivery created an atmosphere of warmth and joy - a beautiful contrast to the cold, rainy weather outside.

Imusicapella will continue with their European tour after performing in Switzerland. Their appearance in Bern was made possible through the help of Samahang Pilipina, led by its President, Maria Teresa Eviota and Brady Eviota. Pioneer members of Samahang Pilipina including Anny Hefti and Marcelina Manalo-Ermert were also present.

Truly grateful for these moments of learning and conviviality that opened doors to new connections we are committed to nurturing, and for the chance to keep Filipino literature alive, seen, and heard in our host country and in the diaspora.

In a room that could have been filled with strangers, there was laughter, tight hugs, and joyful chatter. The autumn gloom and cold outside were no match for the bright sunshine every Filipino carries in their heart. It was contagious, and there was simply no hiding from it.
