Waikato Filipino Association

Waikato Filipino Association Waikato Filipino Association is a social and cultural non-profit organisation based in and about Hamilton City.

WFA was founded primarily to preserve and promote Filipino ideals, values, culture and tradition - especially song and dance among Filipinos and Filipino/Kiwi families. We have participated in local community activities for the past few years and thus have a close cultural relationship with other cultural groups in the Waikato and New Zealand as a whole. We also provide services such as:

basic living skills (adaptation to new country, information to new settlers, migrants, WFA members and the Filipino community in the Waikato region)
education in culture (cultural traditions, social cohesion, ethnic communication language skills)
children's programmes
language, arts and culture (training and dance performance/arts and culture)
transmission (participation and inheritance of cultural identity)
enrichment of community of Filipino culture, arts and performance
language lessons (Tagalog).

A National Celebration of Filipino Pride in Aotearoa For 2026, Pistang Pilipino will be hosted and organized by Streams of Life in partnership with FFASCNZI. As the official event host, Streams of Life is leading the coordination, planning, and delivery of this national celebration - ensuring a memo...
