Growing up in the heart of Manila where I was born, everything looked bright to me. I felt safe playing in the streets with my two younger siblings. My parents never had any cause to worry for our safety. The country which suffered at the hands of the Japanese Imperial Army during the war was experiencing a rebirth and everyone was excited to be part of this rebirth. Continue reading→

Lumaki sa siyudad nang Maynila na kung san ako pinaganak ay napaka ganda at mapayapa. Ako at mga kapatid ko ay nakakapaglaro sa kalsada na walang ano man  masamang nanyayari. Ang mga magulang ko ay hindi man nagagamba at alam na kami ay nasa mabuting kalagayan. Ang Pilipinas ay nakaranas pa lang nang digmaan at napa ilalim sa mga kamay nang malupi na pamamalakad nang Hapon. Parang bagong paganak palang ang Pilipinas, punong puno nang pag asa at gustong maging bahagi sa pag unlad nang bayan. Continue reading→

Tempest in a teapot or strained Global relations?

[GTranslate]TORONTO – Integrating people of diverse backgrounds is neither easy nor quickly accomplished. Corriere Canadese and the Italian diaspora are no strangers to that process. It is generational, to say the least. Perhaps that explains why Corriere received a copy of a letter purportedly issued by the High Commission of India (Embassy) in Ottawa to Global Affairs Canada, addressed to Director General for South Asia, David Hartman.

The letter dated March 2, 2021, and referenced below, draws attention to an escalating rift between Hindus and other unnamed Indian nationals in Brampton, Ontario. Couched in the niceties of diplomatic language is a concern that Hindus are being targeted for violence and that the perpetrators may be aided by local law enforcement officials.

Italian sculptures
in North America
with the art of Marcello Giorgi

[GTranslate]PIETRASANTA – His roots lie in the land of artists, where the mountains are made of marble and the plain is full of sculpture workshops: Pietrasanta, the Tuscan town that also hosted Michelangelo Buonarroti. Marcello Giorgi was born there, 59 years ago. But like any great artist, he is a citizen of the world. And so he lives in Montreal, his works are scattered throughout North America (and beyond) and it is there that today he transmits his knowledge to others, especially young people, teaching in schools and holding art courses.

Corriere Canadese is in the final stages of developing a Canadian National Multilingual News Group (CNMNG).

Corriere Canadese is in the final stages of developing a Canadian National Multilingual News Group (CNMNG). This is a project made possible in part, through funding by Canadian Heritage.

The last Census, in fact, underscores the need for such journalism in our diverse peoples’ integration process: fully 22% of Canadians speak a language other than English or French at home.
