CEBU, Philippines — The Filipino Homes Group is set to launch an online directory platform for Filipino festivals and events around the world through the Bayanihan.com portal.
Filipino Homes founder Anthony Gerard O. Leuterio said that this facility is created to provide a one-stop-shop for Filipino events and festivals worldwide.
“The website aims to bridge Filipinos across the globe, promoting and celebrating the vibrant Filipino culture through local and international events,” Leuterio said in a press conference.
Set to be formally launched within this month October 2024, Bayanihan.com is a user-friendly and free portal.
“Event organizers can easily promote their cultural festivals, while Filipinos from all over the world can stay connected to their heritage. From local fiestas to grand international festivals, Bayanihan.com ensures that no Filipino celebration goes unnoticed,” Leuterio said.
“Our mission is to provide an accessible platform for organizers to promote their events and for Filipinos to engage with cultural activities that matter to them," Leuterio explained.
The website will serve as venue where Filipinos and enthusiasts can connect, share experiences and engage in discussions about cultural celebrations.
It is also committed to fostering the Filipino spirit of “bayanihan”— unity and collaboration—while helping preserve the country’s rich traditions and culture.
From local fiestas to international celebrations, Bayanihan.com ensures that every Filipino gathering is highlighted, fostering unity and preserving the culture for future generations.
“Organizers are welcome to promote their events, along with relevant news and photos, on the portal for cross-promotion in other countries,” added Leuterio.
Additionally, the free portal provides a platform for event organizers worldwide to attract sponsors and gain support for their events.
"This portal helps festivals attract greater financial support from sponsors, enhancing the relevance of their events and drawing more exhibitors,” explained Leuterio.
Bayanihan.com is duly registered and patented by the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPO).
According to Statista, there were about 2.33 million overseas workers from the Philippines in 2023, about twice as much as the previous year.
Leuterio is set to introduce the Bayanihan.com portal to over 600 real estate stakeholders during the National Real Estate Convention 2024 to open this Sunday, October 20 at Nustar Resort & Casino.
The two-day NatCon 2024 will celebrate the success of real estate professionals and partner property developers and at the same time highlight key developments in the real estate industry.
