The Filipino American Council of Greater Chicago is guided by the Filipino tradition of bayanihan “community”, welcoming others, and is committed to American ideals of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and inquiry. Today, as we stand at the threshold of a new era, we reaffirm our commitment to our mission: We uplift the community through transformative cultural, social, and economic programming rooted in our core values: bayanihan (people working together), kapitbahayan (neighborly concern), and damayan (compassionate mutual aid)
