Pinoys on Parliament 2026: Bituin

Every year, Pinoys on Parliament (POP) empowers Filipino-Canadian youth by highlighting the excellence within our community, inviting trailblazing leaders to inspire the next generation to do the same.

Our theme for this year is Bituin (“star”). It celebrates the brilliance, resilience, and potential of Filipino-Canadian youth to lead with purpose and pride. Like constellations that guide travellers through the dark, Bituin reminds us that our light shines brightest when rooted in identity and community.

Join us for free on February 20 - 22, 2026 in Ottawa, Ontario for POP's 8th year!
