Patrol: Clan and Filipino Community

patrol: It's actually a group of volunteers and the direction is to do something like the Bear Clan is doing but we are starting with the Filipino community, said Leila Castro, who started the group, according to CBC. Later on we would like to go multicultural because everybody is part of the community. They call themselves the 204 Neighbourhood Watch and they will be going out on their first patrol on Monday night, with guidance from Bear Clan members and founder James Favel.

We need to act as a community and we need to do something to address it, Castro said. There is a group on the social media site with about 30,000 Manitoba-based Filipinos and Castro said everyone started asking what could be done. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
