The Philippine Embassy in Brussels joined the Philippine Festival at the Foyer Culturel in Montigny-le-Tilleul on 15 October 2023.

The Festival, organized by Adrien Binon, son of one of the nurses, honored the fiftieth anniversary of the arrival of the first Filipino nurses in Charleroi, who were hired to fill in the shortage of qualified personnel in the former Rayon de Soleil Hospital. The first group arrived in 1968, followed by a second group in 1973 and a third in 1975.
