So Who  Are We?  

We, the Philippine Cultural Group of Michigan Inc. also known as PCGoM is established in 2003.   Simply, PCGoM is an assembly of individuals dedicated to the education, presentation, and preservation of the rich and beautiful Filipino culture within our community.  Charged with enthusiasm, we seek to share the greatest treasure from our islands—our culture and our heritage.  It is our expressed opinion that through experiencing a culture you truly get to know a culture, so with that notion we organize many cultural events throughout the year within a setting of Filipino dance, music, and performance.

In addition to promoting cultural awareness, we are also dedicated to the unification of the Filipino people within the West Michigan community.  One of our greatest hopes, is that we can unite our Filipino brethren into a network full of vivacity and pooled resources so that we may reach out to the greater community in very positive and powerful ways.  Perhaps in the not-too distant future, PCGoM will be a well established cultural resource for all Filipino-Americans and those of other ethnicities.

Want to Join?

All nationalities are welcome to join our blossoming organization, and especially Filipino’s who are willing to share the richness of their heritage with others.  Indeed, other Filipino-American clubs/groups/associates exist; however, we are not officially affiliated with such local groups, such as Filipino-American Club/Associate of Grand Rapids and Lakeshore Area.  However, these groups are not mutually exclusive as many members of our organization (99% in fact) belong to such organizations.  Again, we hope to be a cultural resource for all Filipino-American initiatives and promote unification of ideas among all who share our vision of cultural preservation, education, and stimulation of cultural awareness within our greater community.

Support in all its forms is greatly appreciated, and first we want to express our sincere appreciation to all of you who have given so much to our organization.  For those of you who are not familiar, PCGoM is a federally recognized non-profit organization and follows federal income tax exemption laws under section 501 (c ) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
