Key Points

• Ginanap ang FiloFomo Fest sa Centenary Square, Parramatta, na nagtampok sa sari-saring pagkaing Pilipino at mga pampamilyang aktibidad.
• Si Belinda Baker na mula sa Canberra ang hinirang na kauna-unahang 'Lumpia Legend' at 'Lumpia Queen' matapos talunin ang siyam na iba pang kalahok.
• Layunin ng kompetisyon na higit pang ipakilala ang lumpia sa mas malawak na komunidad at sa iba't ibang kultura sa Australia.

I'm very proud of my Filipino heritage, so happy to be known as the Lumpia Queen for this year. The event came to me in my algorithm. So, I saw lumpia, and I was like, 'Yes, I'm the person to do that.' I'm really passionate about Filipino food and Filipino culture. My mum's from the Philippines.
