About this listen
In this episode, we sit down with Hannyliz Villafuerte, an entrepreneur, community organizer, and founder of Barangay Sea to Sky, Whistler's first registered Filipino society, which promotes representation, inclusivity, and Pinoy culture across the corridor.
Originally from the Filipino island of Siquijor, Hannyliz shares her journey, from earning a Law degree to building a multi-faceted life in Whistler as the CEO of retailer Tinda2x, a beauty consultant, an event producer, and a former banquet captain at the Fairmont Chateau Whistler.
We explore Pinoy values like Bayanihan (community spirit), how local Filipinos stay connected to their roots through things like Balikbayan boxes, and how the local Filipino-Canadian community is processing the recent Lapu-Lapu Festival tragedy with compassion and strength.
