A Center for the Community, a Source of Pride
The Filipino Community Center is the largest facility of its kind in the entire United States and outside of the Philippines. Opened on June 11, 2002, it is a long-awaited symbol of the Filipinos' presence and contributions to Hawaii.
The FilCom Center began as a project of the Filipino Chamber of Commerce in 1991. Its two-acre site, once part of the Oahu Sugar Mill was donated by Amfac, one of Hawaii's largest landowners. It was designed pro bono by the architectural firm Wimberly Alison Tong & Goo.
The Filipino community raised a total of $9 million in public and private grants and individual donations. The Center was completed with the help of a $4 million construction loan.
The FilCom Center is gathering place for promoting activities to share and perpetuate the Filipino heritage with those interested in the multi-cultural fabric of Hawaii. It Offers many social and human service programs for all members of the community.
The FilCom Center also sponsors an annual Filipino Fiesta at Kapiolani Park. |
