About Philippine Community Center, Inc.

The Philippine Community Center, Inc. was established in 1989 to provide a physical center for all Filipino Americans in the North Texas region. Such a goal was and is fully embraced by the community as can be seen by the successes of the Mrs. Philippines of North Texas Charity Fundraising Campaign.

The need for a common center translated into the incorporation of the Philippine Community Center in 1990. In 1991, the United States Internal Revenue Service awarded PCCI its 501(c)(3) non-profit status. This designation allowed the organization to expand its fund-raising capabilities and undertake more charity programs and services. In 1991, the officers and charity lead fundraisers had a special audience with the late Philippine President Corazon Aquino who encouraged the continuation of the charitable works of the organization.
