...Let us maintain firmly union and solidarity among us; [...] and let us prove to everyone, and let us make it clear, that if a Filipino will, he can.
(Speech of jose Rizal in Habanero Café, taken from Rizal's writings, National Historical Institute, Manila, 1992.)
Fil-Com Asssembly is a federation, which aim is to coordinate all means and objectives of the Philippine Community in France.
The Philippine and Franco-Philippine associations, becoming more and more numerous (almost 40), have felt the necessity to be unified under a same umbrella, which should strengthen them to attend their own goals.
They created a federation opened to any entity based in France related to the Philippine Community, including associations, religious groups, companies, and even individuals.
As the Fil-Com Assembly’s mission is to get them together, it will also promote the Philippine culture and language, give help and advice to the Filipinos living in France, and organize cultural events and sport activities.
