Flores de Mayo in Hong Kong brought Filipinos together in a meaningful celebration of faith and heritage, where participants enjoyed cultural moments and engaging on-ground activities.
For millions of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), every day abroad is marked by sacrifice, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to provide a better future for their families back home. Behind every remittance is a deeply personal story of love, hard work, and hope—a financial lifeline that keeps Filipino families connected despite the distance.
Recognizing this enduring commitment, the Palawan Group of Companies joined the Filipino community in Hong Kong during the recent Flores de Mayo celebration, transforming the occasion into more than just a cultural gathering. Through its vibrant booth along Chater Road, the company created a welcoming space where OFWs could reconnect with fellow Filipinos, celebrate their heritage, and discover financial solutions designed to make supporting loved ones back home easier and more convenient.

Celebrating Culture, Community, and Connection
Flores de Mayo in Hong Kong brought together thousands of Filipinos in a colorful celebration of faith, culture, and tradition. Amid the festivities, the Palawan Group’s booth emerged as a lively community hub filled with interactive games, exciting raffle prizes, exclusive giveaways, and engaging activities that added to the event’s festive atmosphere.
More importantly, the event became a platform to honor the invaluable contributions of OFWs—modern-day heroes whose sacrifices continue to uplift countless Filipino families and fuel the Philippine economy.
With over 200,000 Filipinos living and working in Hong Kong as of 2025, according to the Department of Migrant Workers, many serving as domestic helpers and caregivers, the need for reliable and accessible remittance services remains vital.
Empowering Every Padala
The Palawan Group continues to play a significant role in helping OFWs stay connected to their families through safe, affordable, and convenient financial services. Whether through its extensive network of Palawan Pawnshop–Palawan Express Pera Padala branches nationwide or through its fast-growing digital platform, PalawanPay, the company provides multiple channels that make sending and receiving money easier than ever.
“Behind every remittance is a Filipino who chose to be far from their loved ones just to give them a better future. We never take that sacrifice lightly,” said Lisa Castro-Sabado, Chief Business Development Officer of the Palawan Group of Companies.
“At the Palawan Group of Companies, we make sure their support reaches home through a service that is mura, mabilis, at walang kuskos-balungos, so every family feels that love without delay.”
As the company strengthens its presence in key overseas Filipino communities such as Hong Kong, it continues to expand access to remittance services that are built on speed, security, and reliability. This commitment ensures that every hard-earned padala reaches loved ones efficiently, helping bridge distances and strengthen family ties across borders.
Honoring Modern-Day Heroes
The celebration also highlighted the Palawan Group’s ongoing “There Na” campaign, which recognizes OFWs as everyday heroes whose dedication mirrors the very values celebrated during Flores de Mayo—faith, resilience, love, and selfless devotion to family.
By participating in the event, the company reinforced a simple yet powerful message: no matter how far Filipinos travel in pursuit of a better future, they remain connected to the people they love through every remittance sent home.
As thousands of Filipinos continue to build lives abroad, the Palawan Group remains committed to ensuring that every act of support—from the smallest padala to life’s biggest milestones—arrives safely, conveniently, and with the care that Filipino families deserve.
Send money home with confidence through Palawan Pawnshop–Palawan Express Pera Padala branches nationwide or via the PalawanPay app, and keep your connection with loved ones stronger than ever—wherever you are in the world.
