Consul General Gines Jaime Ricardo D. Gallaga attended the 20th Anniversary of the Svensk-Filippinsk Vänskapsförening (SFVF), held on 26 April 2025 (Saturday), in Linköping, Sweden.

During the event, Consul General Gallaga congratulated and commended the group of women in Jönköping, who 20 years ago, came together with an inspiring idea of creating an association that would serve as a bridge for integrating Filipinos into Swedish society. The programme included cultural performances by members, with Consul General Gallaga and his spouse joining in for a short performance of tinikling. 

SFVF is a non-profit Filipino association founded in the midst of February 2005, with dedicated members fostering understanding, promoting Filipino culture, and building lasting friendships. The group aims to uphold the Filipino spirit of bayanihan—working together for the common good.  END
