We honour veterans and their families this week. A Blessed Remembrance Day and Veterans' Day all veterans and their families, honouring those who made the ultimate sacrfice.

What shapes the Filipino-Canadian identity? Sheila's husband, Joseph, traces a line from quiet devotion to public service, showing how heritage, resilience, and a shared purpose that builds a hopeful community.

• context and origins of the Golden Balangay Awards: "Balangay" means a traditional Filipino boat (kind of like the one in the movie Moana)
• Sheila introduces the armour side of the podcast, her husband
• faith practices that renew parishes and daily life
• family rituals that transmit culture and duty
• resilience as service, courage and steady work
• the "Balangay" as a symbol of unity and purpose
• gratitude for unsung heroes: Filipino caregivers, clergy and workers
• a call to document family histories and mentor youth
• collective pride in educators, entrepreneurs and artists
