Calgary's Filipino radio stations are a lifeline for many and a 'once in a lifetime for others'
"Mag ingat ka lagi!"
Colourfully dressed in a bright Christmas sweater, DJ Teofy Buluran pulls down the fader on the sound board at CJSW Radio at the University of Calgary. She's just finished a high-energy hour of music and information programmed for the Filipino community of Calgary.
"
Mag ingat ka lagi" means "always take care" in Tagalog and Buluran is really feeling it this Sunday morning.
"We are reaching out to all the Filipinos community because of the sadness that they have been experiencing, being far away from their loved ones," says Buluran, who immigrated to Canada in 1984 and is the mother of six grown children.
