PCCI INTERNATIONAL
“Celebrating OVER 35 years of Charity Service and Volunteerism”
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.

History
The Philippine Community Center, Inc. sprang from intrinsic values of looking back to one’s roots, of gratitude (“utang na loob”); and of social responsibility ("bayanihan"). These deeply revered- Filipino ideals have steered PCCI in its over thirty (30) years of philanthropic existence to harness its communal resources towards assisting Filipinos both here in the US and in the Philippines.
