ABOUT

On April 1, 1998, the Filipino Community Centennial Committee of New England, Inc. was established and incorporated in celebration of the Philippine Centennial of June 1998.

In June 2006, convinced of the need for an annual commemoration of Philippine Independence Day in the New England region of the United States, the concept of changing the Filipino Community Centennial Committee of New England, Inc. to the name Philippine American Mainstream Advocacy for Nonpartisan Associations, Inc. was formalized.

Through serving New England’s Filipino American communities and organizations, PAMANA aims to:

​

• Foster cooperation and promote mutual understanding, humility, and equality;

• Encourage active participation in commemorating Philippine Independence Day;

• Provide local resource assistance with an altruistic approach, through efforts such as PAMANA Cares;

• Engage with Filipino American students through programming such as education, leadership development, and community service; and

• Coordinate relief efforts in response to calamities in the Philippines.
