Our History

The FJCH legacy can be traced back to 1969 when Geminiano “Toy” Arre, Jr. made history by becoming the first president of non-Japanese descent to lead the Honolulu Japanese Junior Chamber of Commerce. During Toy’s tenure, he led the effort with Ernest Mina to form the first Filipino-themed JCI chapter in Hawaii with Ed Hasegawa (ironically of Japanese descent) as its first president: the Bayanihan Jaycees.

​

Today, the Filipino Jaycees of Honolulu is the local community’s premier young professional organization that develops and empowers leaders for the future, while remembering the Filipino roots that precede it.
