About Filipino Americans of Northern California Organization

The Filipino Americans of Northern California Organization is an association whose mission is to highlight the Filipino identity, its core values and culture through its participation in community activities and at the same time make a difference in the lives of others through civic involvement.

FANCO has had an odyssey this past 33 years. The Filipino-Americans of Northern California Organization (FANCO) was conceived in 1980 by Philippine Consul General of San Francisco, Romeo Arguelles. His Filipino contacts in 15 counties in Northern California formed the core of the 15-county federation composed of ethnic Filipinos.

​The counties are: Alameda, Butte, Contra Costa, Marin, Monterey, Sacramento, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, San Francisco, San Joaquin, San Mateo, Siskiyou, Solano, Sonoma, and Yolo.
Each county chapter had a homogeneous structure and was represented in the federation by five officers headed by a vice-president. The county representatives elected from among themselves the Federation officers. The headquarters and meeting place was the office of the Consul General at Sutter Street in San Francisco.

In its preamble, FANCO had its usual motherhood statement: “To bring about a unified voice on issues affecting members: its goals shall be ‘social, civic, cultural, historical, educational’ and the be-all ‘to support the programs and projects of the Philippine Consulate Office.’”
The Federation lived on from its inception in 1980 and eventually disbanded in 1991 due to lack of attendance. The only surviving county member of the 15-county federation was Marin — FANCO.
