Rediscover the Philippines and Filipino Culture

 "Balikbayan” combines two Tagalog words: “balik” (to return, to go back) and “bayan” (homeland) and refers to any person of Filipino descent living abroad and returning to the Philippines.

Whether you haven't been back to the Philippines since you moved to the US, or you are a more frequent balikbayan, a first time visitor who wants to learn about the Filipino culture, or want to move and live in the Philippines, this group is for you to share your experiences or ask questions and get and give advice before your trip.
