Bridging cultures through encounters

At Kulture Ko, our trips to La Union often go beyond relaxation—they're rooted in purpose. During one of our recent visits, we proudly joined the Cora x Clean Beach volunteer cleanup, where we worked alongside passionate individuals to help protect the shoreline. Together, we removed plastic waste from the beach, preventing it from polluting our beautiful ocean and contributing to a cleaner, more sustainable coastal community.

Kulture Ko had the incredible opportunity to participate in Startup Weekend Hong Kong—and we’re proud to share that our team earned 2nd place! Collaborating with passionate startup peers, we built a business concept aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Fueled by purpose (and barely any sleep), we researched the viability of upcycled furniture until 4AM, hit the floors of IKEA to validate our idea with real-time feedback from strangers, and delivered a pitch we’re proud of. It was a weekend of innovation, hustle, and purpose-driven creativity.

New Jersey and New York City are vibrant hubs of culture, diversity, and unforgettable experiences—and Kulture Ko is proud to be part of it. We've actively participated in community events that celebrate and uplift Filipino/a/x-American culture, including the NYC Philippine Independence Day Parade, Filipino Heritage Night at the Knicks game, and even had the honor of meeting Knicks legend John Starks. Through these moments, we continue our mission to amplify Filipino voices and culture in one of the most dynamic cities in the world.
