FilWota48, a shortened term for Filipino Wotas 48, is an online community of Filipinos from around the world who are fans of the 48 and/or 46 groups. These include, but are not limited to, AKB48, MNL48, SKE48, SDN48, NMB48, HKT48, JKT48, BNK48, NGT48, Nogizaka46, Keyakizaka46, OJS48, etc).
Our goal is to spread and support the 48 idol fandom in the country, and help international fans appreciate our local 48 group.  We hope to achieve these goals by giving fans an avenue to support their favorite groups, keeping fans up-to-date on day-to-day news regarding the 48 universe, and maintain an online presence that is just as eager to make new memories as to share and give advice backed by a decade of experience.

Glimpse of what has happened so far

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.

Classic Era

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.

Local Era

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.
