The
Filipino-American Cultural Association of North San Diego County
was formed and established in June of 1976. It began as a social
gathering of some whose mission was to preserve the Filipino cultural
customs and traditions. The Alegre brothers who played a major
role in this endeavor knew that they would need to seek help,
so they set out to the Community Action Corporation and it was
there, they met and asked for the assistance of Ms. Nelly Taguba.
It was then when Ms. Taguba, one of our current directors, and
the Serrano brothers began their quest in forming a club of Filipino-Americans
in North San Diego County area. In the late spring or summer of
1977, the first general meeting was held at Balderrama Center
on San Diego St., where there was a huge turnout. What followed
was the birth of the Fil-Am Cultural Association of North San
Diego County. The Association was eventually integrated with the
Council of Filipino Association and Organization (COPAO) based
in San Diego. On June 6, 2001, Mayor Terry Johnson of Oceanside,
California, officially afforded the Fil-Am Cultural Association
of North San Diego County a Proclamation Day as part of the Oceanside
community through the "Friends of the Oceanside Library".
Currently, the Association has 250-300 family members. FIRST INDUCTION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS OF THE FIL-AM CULTURAL ASSOCIATION OF NORTH SAN DIEGO COUNTY In fall of

SNCO Club, Camp Pendleton, Oceanside, CA, for the first induction
