OFCC Hawaii

Nearly 35 years ago, on June 15, 1991, at Farrington High School Auditorium, a young woman named Lorianne “Ria” Manayan Messina become part of Miss O‘ahu Filipina history. ✨

At just 20 years old and a Communications student at the University of Hawai‘i, she rose above a field of six remarkable contestants to earn the title, succeeding 1990 titleholder Kathleen Duhaylongsod.

Miss O‘ahu Filipina 2026 is almost here—and we’re ready to welcome the next woman into a sisterhood built on culture, service, and empowerment. 🇵🇭 Link to Application in bio.

Honoring the women who lead with heart and purpose in the Oʻahu Filipino Community Council (OFCC).

This International Women’s Day 2026, we celebrate the empowered women in our community who continue to step up, lead, support, and uplift those around them. Whether at the forefront of leadership or working behind the scenes as allies and supporters, your dedication strengthens the Filipino community on Oʻahu.

There is always more work ahead, but with women helping shape the path forward, the future of our community shines even brighter. 💛

Congratulations from OFCC to the 22nd Lady In Red Ball, Committee members, Young Star and Puso Awardees, and the Winners of Man in Red and Lady in Red 2026!
