Philippine Consulate to Celebrate Filipino Food Movement in Hawaii via Virtual Summit

Filipino food and cuisine are a big part of Hawaii’s local and immigrant culture. Filipino and Filipino Americans in the islands strengthen the presence of Filipino representation in the industry as they become chefs, restaurant owners, farmers and such.

However, with the impact of the pandemic, our local food creatives are in need of support to stay afloat. In partnership with San Francisco-based nonprofit Filipino Food Movement (FFM), the Philippine Consulate General in Honolulu will host an online event called “Savor Filipino Summit-Hawaii” on Feb. 8, 2021 from 1pm to 4pm. Participants can register for free at filipinofoodmovement.org.

The virtual summit event aims to (re)claim the Filipino identity through its cuisine, share knowledge in marketing and branding of Filipino food and survive amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We hope that through this event, we can spark enthusiasm to re-imagine and re-shape the future of Filipino cuisine,” said FFM in its event description.
