The Federation of Filipino-Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry, Inc. (FFCCCII) is inviting creative Filipinos nationwide to participate in its latest digital initiative: a TikTok video competition spotlighting the organization’s long-standing commitment to education through its flagship project, Operation Barrio Schools.
Announced by FFCCCII President Victor Lim, the competition seeks short-form videos (1–2 minutes) that showcase the transformative impact of the FFCCCII’s civic work. Since its inception in 1961, the initiative has successfully donated and constructed over 6,500 rural public school buildings across the Philippines.
TikTok Video Competition – Part 2: A Classroom for Every Dream
The competition, spearheaded by the Youth & Integration Committee in partnership with the Public Information & Media Committee, is a digital storytelling platform highlighting how the FFCCCII Barrio Schools project has shaped lives, inspired dreams, and created lasting opportunities for communities.
Participants can submit videos under two categories:
- Category A: My FFCCCII BarrioSchool Journey – Personal stories from students, alumni, teachers, or staff directly connected to FFCCCII Barrio Schools.
- Category B: The FFCCCII BarrioSchools Story – Open storytelling for the general public, content creators, media practitioners, and influencers, highlighting the broader impact of the initiative.
