Abaknons in Canada

Canada is now emerging as one of the new frontiers for migration, as it offers a lot of opportunities to those who seek the good life, in an environment far friendlier than many other countries.

Here are pics of some of our brethren who have joined the bandwagon, as they took time to meet each other. There are the Jaos (who must one of the pioneer Abaknons in the area), the family of Eva Sauro and Emelyn Cascano-Ortego.
