The Filipino Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii’s history dates back to a time when a group of Filipino businessmen - civic minded and fueled with the desire to unite the then fledgling Filipino business community - met in 1947. Through their gathering, the Filipino Businessman's Association was formed and began to promote the common aims of the Filipino community.

The gathering of businessmen continued in the coming years, providing much needed leadership for perpetuating the rich Filipino heritage in Hawaii. The organization provided regular networking meetings, valuable workshops, and outreach trade missions to the Philippines. This attracted many businessmen and women such as Eddie Flores, Jr. (Founder, President & CEO of L & L Hawaiian Barbecue), Lito Alcantra (President, Group Builders), and Roland Casamina (President, House of Finance) among many others. The ingenuity of the leadership helped birth many great community endeavors such as, The Filipino Community Center (FilCom Center), the “A Taste of Kalihi” Festival, and Filipino Entrepreneur of the Year.

Today, the FCCH continues its tradition of Promoting Hawaii’s Business in the Filipino Community through:

Membership & Networking Meetings
Entrepreneurial & Business Workshops & Seminars
Business Support & Mentorship Network
Valuable Partnerships & Working Relationships

We invite you to be a part of our organization's effort to Believe for Better and strengthen the presence of Filipino Business in Hawaii.
