We must “continue to wrap our arms around” the Filipino community as it deals with the burden of the Lapu Lapu Day tragedy that killed 11 people, British Columbia legislator Mable Elmore said on Monday.

Elmore received a standing ovation on her first day back in the legislature since the April 26 attack when an SUV plowed through a crowd of festivalgoers in the Vancouver-Kensington riding she represents.
