Full Phils
A non-profit organization that encourages, motivates, and empowers OFWs in Hong Kong by providing them with online education through scholarships. π΅π
We asked our scholars : How do you bring your Filipino culture here in Hong Kong? π΅πππ°
Our scholars share how they show their being Filipino with the families they care for... π§βπ§βπ§
From being naturally kind and caring, treating the children they care for like their own, to cooking their favorite Filipino dishes and teaching our language, they help keep our traditions vibrant and alive, wherever they find themselves in! β₯οΈπβ₯οΈ
These small acts of cultural exchange not only enrich their own experiences here in Hong Kong but also prove the genuine warmth and hospitality of Filipinos around the world! π
Mabuhay ang ating mga OFWs saan mang bahagi ng mundo! ππΌ Salamat sa inyong sakripisyo at pagmamahal! ππ»

From OFW to Successful Entrepreneur
Jennalyn Arroyo began her journey as an Overseas Filipino Worker in Taiwan in 2009. πΉπΌ After saving up some money as an OFW, she decided to return home and pursue her entrepreneurial dreams π
Her love for Taiwanβs milk tea inspired her to start a business, which led her to opening her own β1697 Bubble Tea Houseβ in her hometown, Baler, Aurora.π§π΅π
She started small but remained determined to overcome her challenges. She traveled back to Taiwan to find the best and affordable equipment. This in turn helped her develop more flavors, increasing her sales and allowing her business to grow bigger. Today, 1697 Bubble Tea House offers thirty flavors and a variety of other products, making it a beloved name among the locals.π§β₯οΈ
Jennalynβs journey from OFW to a successful micro entrepreneur is a testament to the power of hard work and determination. πͺπΌ Her story is a source of pride and inspiration to all of us, showing us that with perseverance, success is within reach!β¨π―
