Centennialista Filipino Association was founded and organized in 2021 by Vicky Pascual, Founder and President Emeritus.
What began with a small group of reliable, committed and goal-oriented Filipinos soon developed into a meaningful community movement. From the beginning, the team shared one important goal: to help people connect, build valuable networks and create opportunities for Filipinos to support one another.
This purpose reflects the Filipino spirit of bayanihan, a tradition of working together, offering help and uplifting the entire community. The founding team believed that when Filipinos share their knowledge, connections and experiences, they can help others overcome challenges and move forward with greater confidence.
Vicky believed that Centennialista could become more than an organization. It could be a community where people celebrate Filipino culture, develop leadership skills, support one another and experience a genuine sense of belonging.
Over the past five years, this vision has been carried forward by successive executive teams that share the same goals and respect for the organization’s purpose. Each generation of leaders has contributed its time, ideas and passion while protecting the values on which Centennialista was founded.
Today, Centennialista has grown to include more than 1,500 members in its social community, 150 active members and 20 core members. This growth reflects the strength of a vision that began with only a few people who believed in what they could build together.
As Founder and President Emeritus, Vicky Pascual remains deeply proud of the leaders, volunteers and members who continue to strengthen Centennialista. What began as an idea in 2021 has become a growing Filipino community built on connection, cultural pride, shared purpose and the enduring spirit of bayanihan.
