**R-P.A.G.E., Inc. Profile**
Improving Our Communities...
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.

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.

Established in 1993, by Ruben S. Panopio, Jr., the U.S.-PHILIPPINES EXPO brought together tens of thousands of Filipinos in one great venue, to share and show the merriment of togetherness and the strength of unity. Throughout the 1990s the original U.S.-PHILIPPINES EXPO brought this dream, of inspiring a community to venture in its shared vision, to reality. Every August the U.S.-PHILIPPINES EXPO continued to bring wholesome entertainment and fabulous consumer shows to the community.
