Newsletter: Barrio Fiesta Glasgow 2026 Celebrates Filipino Heritage with MX3

[THIS IS A PRESS RELEASE]

Barrio Fiesta Glasgow 2026 once again became a vibrant gathering of Filipino culture, community, and heritage, bringing together kababayans from across Scotland for a day of celebration, connection, and shared pride. Held at Strathclyde Country Park, the annual festival continued to serve as an important platform for Filipino businesses, organizations, and families to celebrate their roots while strengthening community ties abroad.

Among the featured Filipino brands at this year’s celebration was MX3, which continued its strong presence at Barrio Fiesta Glasgow. The event has become an exceptional annual opportunity for MX3 to connect with the Filipino community in Scotland, many of whom are working professionals who actively support Filipino-made products and look forward to MX3’s participation each year. More information about the brand and its wellness products can be found on the MX3 Natural Supplements official website and through the MX3 online store.

This year’s response was remarkable, with overwhelming demand for MX3 products throughout the event. The MX3 booth experienced a continuous flow of visitors as attendees inquired about the products, connected with the team, and showed their support for the brand. The strong turnout reflected not only the trust and recognition MX3 has built among overseas Filipinos, but also the growing appreciation for Filipino businesses that continue to serve communities beyond the Philippines.

A key highlight of the celebration was the appearance of Dr. Bien, who energized the crowd while hosting the Sakit Iarte Games on stage. The segment drew enthusiastic participation from a diverse audience and added to the festive atmosphere of the event. As the games unfolded, interest around the MX3 booth also remained strong, creating a lively and engaging experience for both the brand and the community.

The event was further honored by the presence of officials from the Scottish Parliament, who visited the MX3 booth alongside recognized MX3 distributor Christie Brown of Etcetera Inc. Christie Brown also served as the event organizer, helping bring together the Filipino community for another successful celebration of heritage, culture, and unity.

Barrio Fiesta Glasgow 2026 once again proved to be more than just a festival. It was a meaningful reminder of the strength, warmth, and resilience of the Filipino community in Scotland. From cultural performances and community activities to Filipino products and local initiatives, the event showcased how Filipinos continue to preserve their identity while building meaningful connections abroad.

For MX3, the celebration was an inspiring opportunity to stand alongside kababayans, support Filipino-led initiatives, and be part of a community event that honors both tradition and togetherness. The overwhelming support received during the festival reaffirmed the brand’s strong relationship with Filipino communities overseas and its commitment to staying connected with Filipinos wherever they may be.

As Barrio Fiesta Glasgow continues to grow as a cherished annual tradition, MX3 remains proud to be part of a celebration that uplifts Filipino culture, supports Filipino businesses, and brings kababayans together in the spirit of unity and shared heritage.

Isang Dekada ng Modernong Pinoy Wrestling

06/01/2024 02:49:38 AM

Billy Suede in a PWR event (October 2017)

Isang dekada na ang modernong henerasyon ng Filipino wrestling. 

Oo. Sampung taon na ba, o isangdaan at dalawampung (120) buwan, o lagpas limangdaan at dalawampung (520+) linggo. Wag mo nang bilangin yung araw dahil may mga leap year pa at hindi ka mathematician unless ikaw ay si Ivan the Sporty Guy.

Teka, sigurado ka ba? Hindi ba't since 80s ay may Pinoy wrestling na sa atin? Totoo yan. Kaya nga sinabi kong 'moderno' eh, kasi hindi na ito yung panahon na sila Joe Pogi, Max Buwaya, Smokey Mountain Brothers, Bakal Boys, atbp., ang mga nakikipag-buno sa squared circle. Hindi na rin ito yung panahon na sila Jimmy Fabregas, Johnny Revilla at ultimo Gary Lising ang mga celebrity na involve rin sa mga episode ng palabas na ito sa RJTV noon? Lalong hindi na rin ito yung era na tadtad ng mga sponsor banners yung venue, mapa-parking man ng SM City North EDSA, Tarlac, o sa kung saan man yan.

Oo, kumbaga sa serye, isa at ibang libro na ito, dahil noong 2013 pa nga lang kung tutuusin – nagsimula lang sa isang Facebook na grupo ng wrestling fans – ay nabuo ang mga pangarap na magkaroon ng sariling eksena ng sport na ito sa bansa muli. Lalo na noong sila'y naatasan tumulong magsagawa ng isang event nun sa Ynares Center sa Pasig kung saan tampok ang ECW legend na si Tajiri pati na rin ang then half-Filipina triple crown champion na si Shuri Kondo.
