In compliance with the San Francisco Covid-19 mandate, all guests 12 years old and older had to show proof of vaccination. Those 11 years old and younger had to show a negative test taken within 72 hours prior to the event. Everyone was also required to wear masks at all times except when eating or drinking.</p><p>&quot;I think it&#x27;s great to have this, to see each other again and reconnect with each other, especially with the community. We&#x27;ve all been stuck at home for such a long time. So we really appreciate the Warriors for hosting this event,&quot; Al Perez of the Filipino American Arts Exposition said.</p><p>As always, a Filipino Heritage Night-themed shirt was included in the special event ticket but the Filipino representation did not stop there. In a collaboration with Bayani Art, a special t-shirt was sold at the Warriors team store and online. The Warriors have partnered with Filipino-owned businesses in the Bay Area not just for Filipino Heritage Nights but all year round. Filipino-owned food companies like the Sarap Shop and Sugar &amp; Spun also sell their products inside Chase Center.</p><p>&quot;Dub Nation definitely extends beyond the walls of Chase Center and we&#x27;ve been blessed with so many Filipino fans in the Bay Area and around the world. It&#x27;s fantastic, and we just want to provide opportunities to bring people together,&quot; Maria Serrano Valdehueza, Vice President of Ticketing at Golden State Warriors, said.</p><p>For the Warriors, one Filipino Heritage Night is not enough and they offer two every season. The next will be on January 27, 2022.</p>

The Golden State Warriors hosted its first Filipino Heritage Night of the NBA season and entered into a yearlong partnership with Filipino-owned businesses in the San Francisco Bay Area.
