The Bayanihan Center in Southeast Portland has been a cultural hub for Filipinos in the city since 2021, and leaders there say they’re determined to set down roots even as the future of their building remains uncertain. On Saturday, the center unveiled a mural depicting famous Filipina women as a reminder to the community about its strength. In two years, the building at 1537 S.E. Morrison St. and its 40-foot-wide mural may be under different ownership, according to Nikki De Leon, one of the founding members of the center, which offers a gathering space, health programs, labor advocacy and youth programs for Oregon’s Filipino population of more than 47,000 people. Despite the anticipated change, De Leon said it was important to host the mural for as long as the group could. Read more and see more photos at the link in our bio.
