Policy & Advocacy
A seat at every table.
We amplify Filipino Canadian voices in politics, public service, and economic policy. From municipal councils to Parliament Hill, we ensure our community is represented where decisions are made — and we empower Filipino Canadians to step into public life.
Our mission
To ensure Filipino Canadians are seen, heard, and represented at every level of government and civic life. With over a million Filipino Canadians across the country, our voice should be impossible to ignore.
Our priorities
Immigration and workforce credential recognition, small business support and access to capital, cultural representation in media and institutions, and civic participation through voter education and leadership pipelines.
Get involved
Connect with Filipino Canadian elected officials, join our advocacy working groups, contribute to policy submissions, or consider running for public office yourself. The bayan needs leaders at every table.
