THE CULTURAL JOURNAL FOR FILIPINO AMERICA

DIWA PRESENTS: Filipiñana

A special one night only screening in celebration of Filipino American History Month 2026.

Two models stand against a backdrop with palm tree designs, one female in a flowing cream list dress with black boots and a patterned vest, and one male in a cream sequined top and black pants with sneakers.

We are an independent events-based magazine and gathering place for Filipino America, where our stories, style, food, and culture come to life in print, online, and in person.

What DIWA is:

The chapters. Twice a year, collectible “bookazine” issues tracing Filipino history through who we are today.
The gatherings. Chapter launches, members' nights, and screenings worth leaving the house for.
The Guide. Every Filipino event, business, and creative in Portland, in one place. Coming in 2027.
