Got a minute or two—and a story to tell? Filipino youth are being called to celebrate half a century of diplomatic relations between the Philippines and China in a bold, creative way: through TikTok.

The Federation of Filipino-Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry Inc. (FFCCCII) has launched a nationwide TikTok Video Competition in honor of the 50th anniversary of formal diplomatic relations between the two nations.

Organized by the FFCCCII’s Youth and Integration Committee in partnership with the Media and Public Information Committee, the initiative invites young Filipinos to capture the spirit of Philippine–China friendship in short-form video storytelling.

Open to Filipino citizens aged 18 to 35, the competition encourages participants to creatively reflect on the shared history, cultural ties, and future aspirations of both countries. Video entries should be 1 to 2 minutes long, filmed vertically in MP4 format, and may use any Filipino dialect—so long as English subtitles are included.

Themes range from key diplomatic milestones and community stories to artistic interpretations of bilateral ties and visions for future collaboration. All content must be original; plagiarized or inappropriate entries will be disqualified.

To join, participants must complete two steps:

▪️Upload to TikTok: Post the video publicly using the hashtag #PHChina50Years and tag @ffcccii.official.

▪️Submit via QR Code: Register and upload the entry using the form titled PHChina50Years – [Your Name or Team Name].

Each person or team may submit only one entry. Proof of Filipino citizenship, via a valid ID, is required. Immediate family members or affiliates of FFCCCII members are not eligible.
