On October 25, 2025, the Filipino Canadian Lawyers Network (FCLN-RAPC), in coordination with the Migrant Workers Centre (MWC) British Columbia, held a free legal workshop for migrant workers.
The seminar was a resounding success, with 75% of the attendees being Filipino women. Attendees were highly engaged — listening intently and asking thoughtful questions throughout the presentation made by Melissa Remulla Briones, JD, CPHR, CIC.C
Her deep knowledge of family and employment law shone through as she addressed each question with clarity and compassion — even delving into related topics like wills and estates. The MWC expressed interest in hosting a follow-up seminar on that topic in partnership with FCLN.
We’d like to thank Melissa, Isabelle Guevara, Franco Cabanos, and Patty Salas for organizing and making the event happen, a big thank you to everyone who joined us for this meaningful and empowering session!
