Filipino Connection Hub Bayanihan.com launched in Times Square

On November 13, at the historic Hotel Edison in Times Square, New York, a groundbreaking portal, Bayanihan.com, was launched with a mission to connect Filipinos across the globe. Founder Anthony Leuterio, who incidentally was also recently awarded as the International REALTOR of the Year during the NAR Convention in Boston, introduced the platform’s goals, aiming to unite Filipinos abroad by promoting events, Filipino cuisine, cultural heritage, and community. With its name inspired by the Filipino spirit of community and cooperation, Bayanihan.com is poised to become the central online hub for Filipino events, festivals, and cultural celebrations worldwide.

The portal allows event organizers, Filipino restaurant owners, artists, and related businesses to post their events and offerings free of charge, making it a vital resource for Filipinos eager to stay connected with their roots, no matter where they are. The launch event attracted a notable turnout, including delegates who traveled from the Philippines, Canada and various U.S. states to support this innovative project.
