Mr. Ted Fouler, another festival sponsor, learned the third and fourth Falun Gong exercises. He said, “I felt very relaxed when I did the exercises. I know there’s a nine-day workshop, and I’d like to attend.” Mr. Fouler was upset when he learned of the the persecution. He said China’s communist regime would surely collapse just like the former Soviet Union did.

(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioners were invited to participate in the Mabuhay Philippines Festival on Nathan Phillips Square in Toronto on August 24-25.

Freddie, a local resident, learned the first and third exercises. He said, “I feel very relaxed after doing the exercises. My stress was gone in an instant.” He said of the persecution, “I think it’s evil. I heard about it from the news.” He encouraged practitioners’ efforts to end the persecution.

Ellie was drawn to the booth by the Art of Zhen-Shan-Ren display. She said that she had seen the art exhibition. “The paintings were created by very talented artists. I can tell they have put a lot of thought into each painting.” She added, “I know about the CCP. They not only persecute Falun Gong practitioners but also sell their organs. Practitioners are very nice, but they have been persecuted terribly!” Ellie said she was very interested in learning the exercises.

Editor’s Note: Dear readers, do you know that Falun Dafa, originally from China, is currently practiced by people in over 100 countries? But in China, since Jul. 20, 1999, Falun Gong is defamed, slandered and persecuted due to the Chinese Communist Party’s fear of Falun Gong’s rapidly growing popularity. Jiang Zemin, former head of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), perceived the spiritual discipline’s growing popularity as a threat to the CCP’s atheistic ideology.

[Minghui.org] Philippines: Clarifying the Truth on Falun Dafa Information Day (Photos)

October 22, 2007 | By a Westerner practitioner from the Philippines

People were shocked and indignant at the CCP’s persecution of Falun Gong. They told the practitioners that they were doing a good job in exposing the persecution.

(Clearwisdom.net) On October 15, Falun Dafa practitioners in the Philippines held a Falun Dafa information day at the Liwasang Bonifacio in Manila.

Many Filipinos received flyers and learned about Falun Gong and the brutal persecution by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). There were many students and office workers present, and the practitioners answered their questions and told them the local practice site locations. 

People were shocked and indignant at the CCP’s persecution of Falun Gong. They told the practitioners that they were doing a good job in exposing the persecution.

One Chinese man was excited to have found Dafa and said, “Give me all of your materials!”. He received truth clarification materials, VCDs, and Zhuan Falun.

A group of children learned the exercises well. They were happy to meditate in the full lotus position. Later they volunteered to hand out flyers. 

There were police in the area, and they received truth-clarification materials as well. They watched the practitioners teaching the peaceful Dafa exercises, and they were moved by its beauty.

Several reporters took photos of practitioners and interviewed them. 

October 15 was the start of the Chinese Communist Party’s 17th National Congress. Practitioners held the activity on that day to tell the CCP to immediately stop persecuting the good and innocent Falun Gong practitioners.

[Minghui.org] The Philippines: Introducing Falun Dafa to the Public at Tourist Destinations

 May 3, 2023 | By a Falun Dafa practitioner in the Philippines

The QR codes, prepared by practitioners, can be scanned to learn more about the practice and persecution.

(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners from different parts of the Philippines gathered at the tourist destination of Siquijor Island. They introduced the practice to locals and tourists during Holy Week, the peak of the tourist season, which is usually the hottest time of the year.

Holy Week, also known as Passion Week, is a traditional Christian festival to commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, and a week of religious activities is held. In the Philippines, Holy Week this year began on April 2 and ended on April 8, 2022.

After receiving permission from the local authorities, practitioners set up a booth in a different location every day and got around on scooters and motorcycles.

They passed out small origami lotus flowers to encourage people to learn more about Falun Dafa. They made flyers with QR codes that link to various Falun Dafa videos and articles.

Most everyone seemed to be eager to bring home not only lotus flower charms but also flyers in order to watch the videos and read articles about Falun Dafa.

Practitioners also demonstrated Falun Dafa’s five sets of exercises. Some tourists gave them a try, while others sat watching them which made them feel nice and relaxed.

In the evening, some practitioners went to the port area of Siquijor to practice the exercises and send forth righteous thoughts to help bring the persecution in China to an end. This attracted some children who were still playing outside, and they also gave the exercises a try.

Background: What Is Falun Dafa and Why Is the CCP persecuting it?

Falun Dafa (also known as Falun Gong) was first introduced to the public by Mr. Li Hongzhi in Changchun, China, in 1992. The spiritual discipline is now practiced in over 100 countries and regions worldwide. Millions of people who have embraced the teachings, which are based on the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, and have learned the five exercises, have experienced improved health and well-being.

Jiang Zemin, former head of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), perceived the spiritual discipline’s growing popularity as a threat to the CCP’s atheistic ideology, and on July 20, 1999, he issued an order to eradicate the practice.

Under Jiang’s personal direction, the CCP established the 610 Office, an extralegal security organization with the power to override the police and judicial systems and whose sole function is to carry out the persecution of Falun Dafa.

Minghui.org has confirmed the deaths of thousands of practitioners as a result of the persecution over the past 24 years. The actual number is believed to be much higher. Countless practitioners have been imprisoned and tortured for their faith.

There is concrete evidence that the CCP sanctions the harvesting of organs from detained practitioners, who are murdered to supply China’s organ transplant industry.
