Group Founding
October 9, 2009 was when it all began when a group of AKB48 fans gathered around to discuss the possibility of a local fanclub. August 28, 2010 was when the group was made public via our Facebook page.
The longest running community for Filipino fans of AKB48, MNL48 and all of the sister and brother groups.

Distance did not stop the fan club from supporting the international groups of the 48 universe during this era. The main activity of the fan club was the FilWota48 forum.
With MNL48 entering the picture, the fan club now had an additional way to show our support to the 48 groups, this time in a more direct way.
of supporting the fandom through activities, updates, collaborations, representations, and much much more.
with members who were fans from the pre-debut era of AKB48 all the way to the present.
with local groups to help spread the fandom in the country.
and an insane amount of experience and stories when it comes to the fandom.
