A conference of Filipino community centers and associations in the United States, dubbed as “Bayanihan sa Amerika,” will be held on 13 October 2007, Saturday, at the Ground Floor of the Philippine Center Building located at 447 Sutter Street, San Francisco. This will be part of a series of “Bayanihan sa Amerika” conferences which will be held in the United States in October this year.
Bayanihan sa Amerika is organized by the Commission on Filipino Overseas, Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs, Department of Tourism, and Department of Trade and Industry.
The conference aims to gather owners or administrators of Filipino community centers, leaders of Filipino associations, officers of Filipino-American chambers of commerce, and other institutionalized Filipino entities, to enhance networking and foster cooperation.
The conference also endeavors to develop strategies to enhance Filipino cultural visibility through programs that will promote Philippine culture and tourism and identify ways by which Filipino community centers and associations can assist Philippine development through resources and knowledge transfer. It will also be an opportunity to create more awareness on business and investment opportunities in the Philippines.
Resource speakers from the government, the private sector, media, academe, and the Filipino community will lead the discussions.
