R-P.A.G.E., Inc. Profile

We, the members of R-P.A.G.E., Inc., have dedicated many years of promoting events to establish a positive influence in our communities. From the late 1980's to the late 1990's, Ruben S. Panopio, Jr. aimed to establish an annual Filipino-American event. Before he founded the first ever Filipino-American Grand Cultural - Trade & Consumer Show known as, U.S.-PHILIPPINES EXPO, he began in 1989 with Fiesta Filipiniana at the Alpine Village in Torrance, California, through RPJ Productions. By the early 1990's the U.S.-PHILIPPINES EXPO showed promise to the Filipino and Filipino-American community. The U.S.-PHILIPPINES EXPO, through Philippine Arts, Ltd. and through U.S.-PHILIPPINES EXPO, Inc., flourished as the first ever Filipino and Filipino-American event of massive proportion. The U.S.-PHILIPPINES EXPO also established the first ever Filipino and Filipino-American Grand Cultural - Trade & Consumer Show at the Meadowlands Convention Center in New Jersey. Today, the Meadowlands Convention Center still displays the U.S.-PHILIPPINES EXPO's official logo, The Vinta, to pay tribute to the original U.S.-PHILIPPINES EXPO. Ruben S. Panopio, Jr.'s innovation, through the U.S.-PHILIPPINES EXPO, has inspired the community to actively promote cultural unity. Moreover, it inspired the establishment of R-P.A.G.E., Inc., organizers of today's U.S.-PHILIPPINES EXPO. The company name represents members of the family: "R" represents the men - the father Ruben S. Panopio, Jr., and the sons Roderick, Russell, Rutherford, and Ragsdale; "P.A.G.E." represents the women - the daughters Pamela, Abegail, and Genevieve and the mother Esther Figueroa Panopio.
