Liyag - Filipino Dating & Chat

Liyag is the dating app made for Filipino singles — at home in the Philippines and everywhere Filipinos are.

Tired of fake profiles, ghost accounts, and dating apps that don't get Filipino culture? Liyag is different. Every profile is selfie-verified. Every chat is yours to control. And every match is someone actually looking for something real — dating, a serious relationship, or marriage.

WHY WE BUILT LIYAG

Liyag is an old Tagalog word for "beloved" — the kind of love worth waiting for. That's the bar. We built Liyag around what Filipinos actually want in a partner: trust, family, real conversation, and the freedom to be ourselves.

We're a small team. We read every report. We reply to every email.
