“It’s so far away from home and to have a service like this it shows our unity and our sympathy to the people that we have back home,” said Aida Champagne, president of the Filipino seniors group of Winnipeg.
The officers were killed while trying to catch a wanted Filipino terror suspect.
Many families and relatives are still in mourning.
