A group of Filipino young professionals wants to inspire and support the next generation. Paris Mina, Adam Punsalang, Mark Gonzales, and Shen Gonzales started the group to help the youth grow in their careers and stay connected to the Filipino culture and community.

The group which was formed in April 2025 wants to build strong connections between Filipino and Australian community.
The group focuses on developing leadership skills among young Filipino professionals.
The group recognises the challenges faced by the younger generation in finding both meaningful jobs and a strong sense of identity, and they are committed to providing support and guidance to help overcome these obstacles.
