Where we choose to spend our money is powerful. Shopping Filipino-Canadian isn’t just about buying things—it’s about celebrating our heritage, uplifting our communities, and keeping our Filipino traditions alive.
For those of us in the diaspora, finding brands that reflect our roots can feel like searching for home in a faraway place. That’s why we’ve rounded up Filipino-Canadian small businesses across fashion, food, books, and more—so you can shop with intention, support our own, and feel deeply connected to your culture with every purchase.
EDITOR’S NOTE: We'll be updating this list with more Filipino-Canadian brands, so keep checking back! If there’s a Filipino-Canadian-owned business you’d love to see here, contact us
