The First State of the Filipino American Community Address

Belle Limoge post: “It was a memorable First State of the Filipino American Community Address by Hon. Consul Audie de Castro and to hear LA Consul Adelino Cruz, Atty Valerie Garcia Hong, and other respected speakers. It was nice to see our organization (FACO) to be recognized for its mission of promoting our culture like that of the June event and be one of the donors for the House of the Philippines project. As what Hon Consul Audie had addressed to the FIL Am community, we need to preserve and promote our culture, help one another in Bayanihan spirit and organize for a unified and collaborative movement.”

The First State of the Filipino American Community by Honorable Audie de Castro was held at the Jacob’s for Neighborhood Innovation in San Diego, CA on March 11, 2017. It was wonderful to see the awesome support of the Filipino Community. The Filipino-American Cultural Organization president Rein Hanson, ExOfficio Director Belle Limoge, VP Dorothy Mahimer, Correspondence Secretary Zucette Lumabas, Director Sheila Butler and Bill Mahimer attended in support of the event. It was great to connect, socialize and meet new friends. By CS Zucette Lumabas
