Canberra — Philippine Ambassador to Australia Ma. Hellen B. De La Vega joined the Philippine Cultural Society as it led the celebration of the Annual Feast of Seňor Santo Niňo in Australia’s Capital City on January 19, 2020. A mass in honor of this festival was celebrated at St. Monica’s Church in Evatt, followed by a cultural program in Hall Pavilion.
