Is there a filipino community in Cambridge? Kakalungkot na kasi....

Hi Zoiee, and welcome to the forum.

I'm sure there are lots of Filipinos in Cambridge

Someone will be along from nearer that area than I am soon, to advise, but meanwhile...try the Catholic churches and near hospitals. (Lots of health service employees).

Also google Cambridge Filipinos. Maybe a local club there.

Zoiee ... ! Perhaps you'd like to tell 'a little' more about yourself?

Hi Zoiee, and welcome to the forum.

... ... I'm thinking of Rosie 1958 - who's [most] often on the forum during evenings.

Hi Zoiee, welcome aboard Filipino UK

I'm pretty sure there's a large Filipino Community in Cambridge

Just as Arthur suggests our trusted member Rosie will be able to guide you much better.

Good luck

Can you tell us more about how you found us ?

Hi guys... thank you for taking time with my post... and for welcoming me in this forum.... I just arrived last late January this year from Philippines for a public health study.

Was looking for a Catholic Church here but when i went to the area last Wednesday.... it was closed.... maybe i was just used to the Philippines setting that the church is open most of the time especially during daytime... I will try again tomorrow since it's Sunday.

I found this forum by googling... and ironically the first thread i read was about the snob Filipinos in UK.... yay!

[grahamw48]

They're not all snobs ! lol

... Myrna must've been fortunate ... ... in that respect.
I have to say, throughout the 5 years she's lived here, she's become friends with many other Filipina - chatted with friendly ease to literally dozens more - and never, so far (touch wood) encountered even the slightest hint of snobbishness.

The ex must have been fighting an uphill battle...being seen around with me.

Hi Zoiee ......... welcome to the forum and also to Cambridge!

There are hundreds of Filipinos working at Addenbrookes Hospital and also the Rosie Maternity Hospital, both in Cambridge and you will no doubt see some in the cafes and restaurants at the hospitals.

There is a small Chinese supermarket called Cho Mee in Mill Road, Cambridge that also sells Filipino products and the last time I was in the shop (which is quite some time ago) there was a male Filipino member of staff working there who would no doubt be able to tell you where the Filipinos meet.

In the meantime, here's a link to a newspaper article written about the Filipinos at the above hospitals and how they were raising money for the victims of Typhoon Yolanda:-

I hope that you manage to meet some new friends soon
