FACCGN 2025: A Year of Culture, Commerce, and Global Reach

In 2025, the Filipino American Chamber of Commerce of Greater Nevada (FACCGN) recorded its strongest year of engagement to date—supporting dozens of Filipino-American businesses, generating hundreds of in-person and digital interactions, and delivering some of the highest attendance and vendor participation levels in the Chamber’s history.

That momentum began on the global stage. In January, FACCGN hosted the official Philippine trade delegations to CES 2025 and the Winter Fancy Food Show, positioning Nevada as a strategic gateway for Filipino technology, food, and consumer brands entering the U.S. market. At CES, Philippine startups showcased innovations in AI, smart devices, green energy, and digital services, while at the Winter Fancy Food Show, 16 Philippine exporters introduced Filipino food products and ingredients to international buyers. FACCGN supported these efforts by facilitating introductions, hosting fellowship receptions, and creating a soft-landing network for exporters navigating high-stakes negotiations.

Back home, the Chamber continued to invest in business readiness. From retail pricing and packaging to minority certification, FACCGN delivered practical tools for growth. In February, the Western Regional Minority Supplier Development Council (WRMSDC) conducted a certification workshop led by CEO Donna Ruff, helping Filipino-owned businesses unlock access to national corporate and government procurement pipelines.

Culture and commerce converged during Filipino Food Month, activated by FACCGN through the Las Vegas Filipino Food Crawl. Sixteen participating restaurants became part of a valley-wide, QR-enabled campaign that turned dining into data-driven discovery. Diners who scanned in at each restaurant were entered into a $50 gift card raffle, driving foot traffic, repeat visits, and measurable engagement across the Filipino restaurant ecosystem. The month culminated with TINDAHAN at Mang Felix Kitchen—a pop-up marketplace that celebrated Filipino food, products, and entrepreneurship under one roof.

FACCGN also strengthened its role in media, storytelling, and creative industries. Members attended the NAB Show to track trends in broadcasting and AI, while the Chamber continued its full support of the Third Las Vegas Filipino Short Film Festival, now a growing platform for Filipino, LGBTQ+, and diaspora filmmakers.

In October, FACCGN helped mark a historic milestone with the launch of Filipino Town Las Vegas, officially designated along Maryland Parkway. The Chamber, through LUNA Design, produced the event’s branding and visual system—anchored by a bold MABUHAY motif—applied across stage design, signage, invitations, and social media, giving the district’s unveiling a polished and contemporary identity.

The year closed with two high-impact community activations. Fiesta Filipino, organized with NaFFAA, drew more than 6,000 attendees through a QR-powered campaign that combined arts, crafts, children’s cultural activities, and Filipino entrepreneurship into a single, highly trackable community festival. Meanwhile, the Sari-Sari Market at El Mercado opened retail test spaces for Filipino small businesses, supported by FACCGN and Philippine Times of Southern Nevada through bold visual merchandising and zero-risk pop-up opportunities.

FACCGN also formalized its media partnership with Philippine Times of Southern Nevada, securing shared office space at FilAm Central and strengthening the Chamber’s communications reach across Southern Nevada.

Looking ahead, FACCGN will co-host ELEVATE, the FPACC National Leadership Summit, from March 27–29, 2026 at M Resort and Casino—bringing chambers from across the country together in Las Vegas for leadership training, trade development, and national collaboration.

In 2025, FACCGN didn’t just host events—it built systems, activated markets, and positioned Filipino-owned businesses at the center of Las Vegas’ cultural and economic future
