Toronto, ON, Canada, March 11, 1998 - Here is a press release from the Spirit of Kalayaan 98 to all Filipinos and their friends in North America.

Dear Kababayan:
The Philippine Centennial, a celebration of the 100th years of the birth of our Nation, is a proud moment in our history. We urge you to take this occasion to showcase our rich culture, history and talents to Canadian mainstream, to give our children the chance to learn more and be proud of their heritage.

The SkyDome event of Spirit of Kalayaan 98 is a fitting tribute to our heroes and martyrs who consecrated their lives on the altar of freedom. Please join us in this largest gathering of Filipinos in North America.

An event of this magnitude demands from us the bayanihan spirit which our forefathers handed down to us. With it, we can achieve anything we want if each one of us takes his share of the burden. In the Skydome project, you will not only bring pride to every Filipino, but you will be able to raise money for your organization. Individuals can also earn money from commissions.
