The Philippines is an island country of Southeast Asia located in the western Pacific Ocean. And it’s far, far away from here. In fact, a flight from Denver International Airport takes about 20 hours. How do those who hail from the Philippines keep the spirit of their rich culture alive from so far away?

FACC is said to be the oldest Asian non-profit in Colorado and this year it celebrates its 70th anniversary.
