We were honored to co-host the Virginia Philippines Economic and Security Partnership Forum on October 23 with the Filipino American Chamber of Commerce of Virginia . This event united business leaders, officials, and dignitaries from Virginia and the Philippines to strengthen economic collaboration and security ties. It was an honor to have Congressman Bobby Scott, Mayors' Kenneth Alexander and Mayor Bobby Dyer with us. Special thanks to our investor VIA design for hosting the reception and to Kitchenfinity for celebrating Filipino heritage with a menu featuring traditional dishes like Chicken Pancit, Lumpia, and their popular Ube Smashburger. #FilipinoAmericanHistoryMonth
