Every summer we anxiously await the announcement of the annual Philippines Winter Escapade. We were delighted to learn that the 10th Escapade will be held from February 1–10, 2026, visiting tourist gems such as Dumaguete, Siquijor, Bicol, along with cultural tours in Manila.

This is the one event where Canadians of all generations can forget the cold winter and place ourselves in the capable hands of the Philippine Consulate and Rajah Tours. More than a vacation, the Escapade is designed to immerse participants in Filipino culture and hospitality.
