🎶 THANK YOU FOR AN UNFORGETTABLE OPM OPEN JAM NIGHT! 🇵🇭❤️
What started as a simple celebration of Original Pilipino Music (OPM) turned into an unforgettable evening of music, fellowship, and Filipino pride. The overwhelming support from our community made the first-ever OPM Open Jam Night a resounding success, and for that, we are truly grateful.
On behalf of the Filipino Association of Papua New Guinea (FAPNG), we extend our heartfelt appreciation to our partner, the Philippine Embassy in Port Moresby, led by His Excellency Ambassador Edgar Tomas Q. Auxilian, together with his lovely wife, and Consul Jom Sadie, for their unwavering support and commitment in promoting Filipino culture and bringing our community together through music.
Our sincere gratitude also goes to our FAPNG Clubhaus Tenants for their continued partnership and support:

Most importantly, thank you to everyone who attended, sang along, danced, cheered, and supported the event. Your presence and enthusiasm created an atmosphere that truly reminded us of home and showcased the unity and spirit of the Filipino community in Papua New Guinea.
Because of the overwhelming success of this event, we are excited to announce that FAPNG is planning to make Open Jam a regular monthly event, to be held every last Friday of the month, with a different musical theme each month. We hope this initiative will continue to showcase Filipino talent, strengthen friendships, and celebrate our rich culture through music.
