Our Mission Statement

The Philippine American Society of Colorado is a nonprofit organization dedicated to cultivating, preserving, promoting and sharing the Philippine culture and heritage through educational and cultural opportunities that would enrich and enhance the lives of its members and the people of Colorado.

A Brief History of PASCO

The founding of the Philippine American Society of Colorado (PASCO) was conceived towards the end of 1982 by a group of bright, energetic, talented and well- meaning Filipino- Americans in Colorado. They observed the need to preserve and promote our Philippine Heritage. The Filipino population in Colorado was growing and a Filipino organization seemed necessary to serve the east side of the Denver metropolitan area. To test this idea, monthly social gatherings were held at the Exposition Park Recreation Center in Aurora, Colorado. The first of these gatherings took place on St. Patrick’s Day, March 17, 1983 and continued for about a year and well attended. This informal group developed a choir and dance troupe, even getting a Baptist choir director to lead. Picnics were held. Dance and choir practices were held in family residences, backyards and basements.
