A Global Network With Roots and Responsibilities in the Philippines.
CFGC connects diaspora members, institutions, professionals, philanthropists, researchers, and partners with locally defined priorities throughout the Philippines.
Chinese Filipino history is national, not singular.
Binondo is foundational to Chinese Filipino history, but Chinese Filipino communities, schools, businesses, associations, temples, migration histories, cultural practices, and institutions developed across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. CFGC will help document and invest in that wider geography.
