SPAARWOUDE, Netherlands - More than 6,000 people attended the Philippine Independence Day 2024 event in the Netherlands, and the organizers, headed by Dutch by birth, Filipino by heart Pedro Penduko, were extremely grateful to everyone who made the event very successful.

“First and foremost, I thank singer Ice Seguerra for accepting our invitation to perform for the Filipinos here. Ice gave a mini-concert and was very gracious with his talent because he performed for almost one hour, singing his heart out to all the Pinoys and non-Pinoys. You, Giselle, would know how fun and overwhelming it is to perform for the Pinoys in the Netherlands as you were our celebrity singer and comedienne last year. 

"Janno Gibbs, Randy Santiago, Rachel Alejandro, Gabby Concepcion, and Ara Mina have also performed here several years back. I also would like to thank all our sponsors: Beagley Copperman, Knorr, Cream Silk, Buenas, Pinoy Kitchen, Luneta Ice Cream, Complete Au Pair, Moneytrans, PP Tours, LVM Cargo, JMR Trading, Ria Money Transfer, Half Vision Photography, Chibog oriental fusion, Cleo’s Kalinderia, Horation Assurance Group."

The Philippine Independence Day celebration in the Netherlands was indeed a one-of-a-kind experience. The energy is just amazing, and the Filipinos here are wonderful.
