Filipino Food Month was created to continue the Filipino culture, heritage, and tradition for future generations to inherit, thrive and grow.
Culinary heritage is a growing global movement acknowledging and addressing that the issues and the values it promotes are of global importance and require a united front of diversity and understanding.
