ABOUT US

Fili Islander Clothing Company emphasis the styles of Philippine culture and expression for today's Filipino & Filipina Islanders. It took over a year just to think of the concept and logo which was right in front our face but the result was profound. Our innovative ideas and approach has been accepted by islanders worldwide.

Within the logo you will see 2 characters overlapping each other having its own syllable. The first character is "fi" and the second character is "li". Plain in simple the logo spells out "Fili" short for "Filipino". The Fili Islander logo is based on the ancient Filipino script. Many commonly call this script that came from the Philippine Islands as "Alibata" but the proper name for it is "Baybayin".

This ancient tribal script appeared to be noticeable in the late 16th century. We must let you know that translating the script into words can be interpreted in many ways. Many people who have studied this script and finding it hard to come up with the exact translation guide. Since it was implemented many modifications have been made throughout the time it developed.

Since the script as we know does not contain the letter "F" it is substituted with a "P". As you know when we describe Filipino people there are several ways of spelling it from the way Americans spell it Filipino or Filipina to the Philippines way of spelling it Pilipino or Pilipina. Another term used is Pinoy and Pinay.

I hope this explanation can justify and help others understand what we are trying to interpret through the clothing line. We as Fili Islander's have courage & bravery, noble ideals, and peace & purity. That is why the colors of our flag are red, white, blue, and yellow. Our goal is to implement our everyday Filipino and Pinoy culture and express them through our shirts, hoodies, head gear & anything else we can come up with. Some of our designs contain phrases where many take it as a joke but sometimes the best humor is if we can look within ourselves to understand why we are who we are.

Fili Islander was built like a Filipino food recipe from scratch. We make sure we have the right ingredients to make the best "Chicken Adobo" out there. We have expanded our business ventures into a event production company called "PSP-Profound Sound Productions" and in the asian import car scene called "Drift Tactics Racing & Apparel". We also plan to express our filipino pop culture through music, song, lyrics, movies, artists, actors, models and anything where we can let others know what we are all about.
