About FilipiKnow

FilipiKnow is a portmanteau of two words: "Filipino" and "knowledge."

In an era of fake news and superficial listicles, this website aims to enlighten, inspire, inform, and entertain in ways that no mainstream media company is gambling on.

Although the categories may have different target readers, they all have the same mission: to educate, empower, and inspire Filipinos to contribute to our country even in small ways.

Filipiknow is fueled by the belief that what we expect from our country matters less than what our motherland expects from us.
