Showing Aloha 🌺 for Ilocos Norte!

On Sunday, May 17, 2026, the O‘ahu Filipino Community Council (OFCC) proudly joined more than 30 Filipino organizations across O‘ahu representing associations with roots and membership connected to the Ilocos Norte region. It was an honor to welcome the delegation led by Governor Cecilia A. Marcos during their visit to Hawai‘i for an Aloha Lunch at Neal S. Blaisdell Park.

With us were some of our officers and directors, Miss O‘ahu Filipina 2025 court and 2026 contestants (who also selected their official contestant numbers during the event), and our partners from the Timpuyog Organization at UH Mānoa.

Their visit highlighted over two decades of sister province/state relationship between Ilocos Norte and Hawai‘i, fostering continued engagement with the Filipino community through a series of meaningful gatherings throughout their stay.

Mahalo for visiting and representing for the Ilocano community on O‘ahu and across the state!
