Dr. John Santiago when preparing his keynote-like talk realized that the IEEE Pikes Peak Section STEM initiative of STEAM-TEAMS has the same spirt of Bayanihan. His talk was held at the DoubleTree Hotel on 23 Aug 2025\, Colorado Springs CO. Her e\, Dr. Santiago introduced IEEE to over 178 attendees of the Miss Fil-AM Coronation event\, hosted by the Filipino-American Community of Southern C olorado (FACSC). Since FACSC existence in 1993\, they have developed an im pressive system of mentorship to sustain this community of leaders through consistent and annual cultural events in developing their youth navigatin g between American and Filipino cultures.
