<\/strong>Filipino food and cuisine are a big part of Hawaii\u2019s local and immigrant culture. Filipino and Filipino Americans in the islands strengthen the presence of Filipino representation in the industry as they become chefs, restaurant owners, farmers and such. However, with the impact of the pandemic, our local food creatives are in need of support to stay afloat. In partnership with San Francisco-based nonprofit Filipino Food Movement (FFM), the Philippine Consulate General in Honolulu will host an online event called \u201cSavor Filipino Summit-Hawaii\u201d on Feb. 8, 2021 from 1pm to 4pm. Participants can register for free at filipinofoodmovement.org<\/a>.The virtual summit event aims to (re)claim the Filipino identity through its cuisine, share knowledge in marketing and branding of Filipino food and survive amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.

\u201cWe hope that through this event, we can spark enthusiasm to re-imagine and re-shape the future of Filipino cuisine,\u201d said FFM in its event description.

There will be four sessions in the summit that explores the four sides of Filipino cuisine in the industry: Identity, Branding, Media and Business.

The line-up of event speakers come from different backgrounds in the industry including Filipino culture academics, restaurant owners, social media food influencers, and Filipino lifestyle journalists to name a few.

Below are the online event\u2019s line-up and its speakers:
