Happy Philippine Independence Day

Today, we honor June 12, 1898—the day President Emilio Aguinaldo proclaimed Philippine independence and the courage of those who sacrificed for our nation's freedom.

As Filipino Americans, we carry forward that legacy through service, leadership, and community. While separated by oceans, we remain united by our shared heritage, values, and commitment to future generations.

This Independence Day, let us celebrate not only where we come from, but how we lift one another today.

Take a moment to encourage, mentor, support, or recognize a fellow Filipino American. Together, we strengthen our community and ensure that the spirit of freedom, resilience, and bayanihan continues to thrive.

🏈🇵🇭 This AANHPI Heritage Month, NaFFAA proudly celebrates a historic moment for Filipino American representation in sports.

Filipino American cornerback Chris Johnson was selected by the Miami Dolphins with the 27th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, becoming a first-round NFL Draft pick and one of the highest-drafted Filipino American football players in NFL history.

A standout athlete from San Diego State University, Johnson earned national recognition for his outstanding college career and achievements on the field. His journey reflects the growing impact of Filipino Americans across sports, leadership, public service, business, and many other fields.

During this month of celebration and reflection, we honor the many Filipino Americans whose stories continue to inspire future generations to pursue excellence, serve their communities, and proudly embrace their heritage. 🇵🇭🇺🇸

Congratulations, Chris Johnson! Your NaFFAA family is incredibly proud of you. Mabuhay ka! ✨
