Our Mission
The FANTV Global Network started as one channel – The Fil-Am Network. We were focused on the Filipino-American scene at the time, and that’s when we realized Filipino-Americans in the San Francisco Bay Area didn’t have a presence through media. We covered local events endlessly, and our platform and family grew in no time. As we grew, individuals from all walks of life joined us in our journey. That’s where we realized everyone from every place needs a voice and presence through media and entertainment.
Today, in 2020, the Fil-Am Network is now the FANTV Global Network. Our mission? To raise awareness for your mission. We are here for you. We are your voice, and we represent you.
Throughout our years, we want to build diversity, unity, and collaboration. And we’re going to do this by bringing a positive change to the world through media and entertainment 24/7.
