SINGAPORE | FILTREPS, Filipino Global Entrepreneurs KAPIHAN
Filipino professionals and entrepreneurs in Singapore gathered for an insightful evening of learning, collaboration, and meaningful dialogue during the recently held "FILTREPS Singapore Kapihan," a business-focused networking event that highlights real-world experiences and practical knowledge sharing.
Centered on the theme of “Brewing Success Over Shared Stories,” the Kapihan brought together industry leaders and members of the Filipino business community for a night of “real talk,” connections, and actionable insights—an approach that reflects the growing culture of collaborative learning among overseas Filipino professionals.
Leading the discussions was Jomar Lising, Founder and Director of Expede Tech Pte Ltd, who delivered a highly practical session titled "Tax Essentials Every Business Owner Should Know in Singapore.” His talk guided participants through the fundamentals of Singapore’s tax system, equipping entrepreneurs with the knowledge needed to make smarter financial decisions and ensure long-term sustainability in their businesses.
Meanwhile, "Ninalyn Cacananta", Founder & CEO of NASC Global and HFSE International School, tackled the realities behind running a business in the Lion City through her topic, “Price Tag: The True Cost of Doing Business in Singapore.” She provided valuable insights into operational costs, challenges, and strategic approaches necessary for entrepreneurs to thrive in one of the world’s most competitive business environments.
The event served not only as an educational platform but also as a space for networking and community building—strengthening ties among Filipino entrepreneurs and professionals navigating the Singapore business landscape.
As FILTREPS Singapore continues to champion knowledge-sharing initiatives like the Kapihan, participants left inspired and empowered—ready to apply what they learned and contribute to a stronger, more connected Filipino business community abroad.
