The Philippine-American Civic Organization of Oklahoma
derived its humble beginnings from the fortitude and perseverance of a group of
Filipino-American physicians and professionals. This group weathered the pains and long hours of work in
making sure that the spirit of friendship and hospitality inherent to the
Filipinos be continually instilled here
in the heartland of America. Thus, PACO came into being in August of 1978
with the goal of ever preserving the richly-laden culture and tradition of the
Philippines.
To this date, the
organization is going strong and an active participant in various civic and
community affairs, most recent of
which was the adoption of a city street. PACO
has continually survived the decadence of social and economic past, thanks to its officers and members who
unceasingly give their much-needed energy and resources.
Membership to the organization is always welcome, with open arms and heart to all!
