This past season has been one of purposeful pause—a time to reflect, heal, and realign our mission. Through this journey, we’ve discovered that while our potential is limitless, our focus must be intentional. We can do anything, but not everything. At FilExcellence, we believe in the power of authentic growth—one that values patience, embraces vulnerability, and honors our human limits. Rooted in kapwa—the profound Filipino value of shared identity and compassion—we’ve thoughtfully realigned our mission to celebrate the full spectrum of Filipino identity and experiences. Today, we’re thrilled to begin a new chapter of FilExcellence, and we invite you to join us on this meaningful journey. 🌱 Here’s how you can be part of it: • Visit our website and select “Join the Team” to submit your volunteer application • Questions?

Happy birthday to your favorite Viet future-PA (NOT Jen from the bachelor)

I see that bamBOOTY clappin 👏🏽👀 Call that JID-ikling @jidsv ICYDK— “The term “Tinikling” translates to “to be/perform like tikling”. Which is a local bird in the Visayas islands under the rail bird species, specifically the slaty-breasted rail (Gallirallus striatus), the buff-banded rail (Gallirallus philippensis), and the barred rail (Gallirallus torquatus). The dance originated in Leyte. It was created in the likeness of how the tikling birds walk and jump over branches as well as dodge traps set by farmers with its long stilt-like legs. An urban legend also says that the dance was a form of punishment during the Spanish colonial era. Where workers of a plantation who disobeyed orders or worked too slow were made to stand in between two bamboo poles. The poles would then clapped together to beat the feet of the workers. They must jump to avoid the poles.“ — from @kollective_hustle ’s blog post “ORIGIN OF THE TINIKLING DANCE” #tinikling #filipinodiaspora #filipinodance #philippineculture #filipinoculture #filipinoheritage #filipinoamerican #siblingmemes #culturaldance #gymcontent

#FAHM generational courage, strength, resourcefulness, unity and bravery: unlocked 🔓👇🏽 In honor of Filipino American History Month 🇵🇭 let’s not forget — THICC THIGHS SAVE LIVES. And we’re stronger together. When it’s a ✨collective effort✨ Lapulapu’s triumph in Mactan serves as a reminder of the power of unity and solidarity in the face of oppression and exploitation. Unity is essential to address contemporary issues rooted in colonialism. *I’m not a historian, so correct me if I’m wrong* It’s OctoBAR but imma take you back to April. Our 🇺🇸 school system doesn’t teach us that Magellan was defeated by Filipinos, our Visayan ancestors. Visayan warriors were not ‘savages’ but skilled & strategic fighters. Magellan began his circumnavigation of the world 1519 with 3 ships and 270 men and arrived in the Philippines in 1521. After using his rizz to befriend the Rajah of Cebu, Rajah Humabon converted to Christianity. In an attempt to convert all chiefs in neighboring kingdoms so that they could provide aid to Magellan, the homie Lapulapu and his people in Mactan stood their ground and did not convert or follow orders from the king of Spain. Magellan’s selected 49-60 (?) heavily armored men (European weapons, canons & sh!t) arrived on our land, and he was defeated from one of Lapulapu’s ~1,500 men Rajah offered Lapulapu a treasure of copper and iron in exchange for Magellan’s body, but Lapulapu said naurrrr. Like a G Lapulapu is credited for having delayed Spanish colonization by nearly 50 years. He is seen as a symbol of Filipino anti-colonialsm. We can honor Lapulapu’s victory by learning from our ancestors’ wisdom, uniting in solidarity, and addressing the challenges our people face today.

28 years. Bale 🤝🏽 Bali 🤝🏽 Bahay (Kapampangan 🤝🏽 Sambal🤝🏽 Tagalog) Home. 🏠 No matter how far I stray from faith, family, friends… Thank you for reminding me that I can always come home. Wherever you go, there you are ✨ Now let’s make it about me for a second 🤦🏻‍♀️ LMFAO big Panganay (eldest sibling) energy— I used to resent home. The idea & way I internalized home. I was embarrassed. Felt othered & disempowered. So much so that out of perceived safety, I took it out on my parents and assimilated/separated myself from parts of me that mean the most to me today. 🇵🇭 Thank you for showing me what it means to have faith and trust in the unknown. Thank you for teaching me the importance of community. The power of discernment in relationships with blood and chosen family. Thank for allowing me (kinda) to follow my curiosities despite how much it doesn’t align with your upbringing. Thank you for SEEING ME and working hard to better understand where I’m coming from! Thank you for being open to exploring other ways of honoring the culture and tradition 💪🏽 Honoring the culture doesn’t coincide with utang na loob. To me, honoring the culture & ancestors means working to love & embody the fullest expression of my true SELF, so I can serve, heal & co-create REAL change. Panganay vibes. Getting here wasn’t easy. Our challenges are different. I can be grateful of the path you have paved before me without feeling shame or being fearful of the opportunities available to me today. In the words of Ate @faithsantilla : “So let it be known, if you don’t already Pinays have always been part & parcel, if not, imperative and critical to the struggle. Filipinas are no strangers to wielding our own power Of all the privileges that exist in this world, none of which you may be a benefactor of there is at least one you bear & that is the privilege of having been born a Filipina Your DNA contains building blocks made from the mud of over 500 years of resistance & survival & when you are ready, sis, we’ll be right here” Love isn’t painful. Love is patient. Kind. Nurturing. Unconditional. Respectful. Love is home! Happy anniversary, mahal na mahal kita 💜✨

Happy birthday to my favorite gym partner, matcha & reading date, and Current plant/Aspiring cat mom! Can’t wait to make more memories and Asian food with you <3
