― Heart Evangelista
FOCUS to me…
A much-needed breath of fresh air when I was settling in Montreal. After leaving the Philippines with a heavy heart, FOCUS became my home away from home. They wrapped me in warmth and friendship, making me feel like part of a new family even though I was far from my loved ones back home.

FOCUS to me is…
Where I got to fall in love with my roots, a place where I got to fall in love with the culture, the community and the celebrations.
