Bulwagan Foundation Trust

Bulwagan Foundation Trust Today, the number of Filipinos arriving in Wellington has grown exponentially and the call for a Filipino Community Centre rings louder. Join Us!

Help us achieve this worthy cause. In 1999, with the increasing number of Filipino immigrating to Wellington, Christina (Bing) Pangaruy (nee Eguna) saw a need to build a Filipino Community Hall that the Filipinos can call their own by providing;

1. A place where the Filipino culture could be preserved and perpetuated in Wellington;

2. A place where the Filipino Culture can be promoted in New Zea

land

3. A place where Filipino – New Zealanders (Kiwi-Pinos) can learn about their heritage;

4. A place where social contact through sports, recreational activities, cultural and performing arts between Filipinos and the wider community is encouraged by developing multi-purpose facilities;

5. A place where we can preserve the Filipino Culture and Heritage and where Philippine history, culture and artifacts can be permanently housed and displayed;

6. A place where the different forms of religious beliefs can be practised and encouraged;

7. A place where the awareness and respect for special status of Maori people as Tangata Whenua can be taught;

8. A place that will help advance the charitable aims of the Bulwagan Foundation Charitable Trust; and,

9. A place available for lease to small businesses, family and commercial enterprises. The Foundation envisages the establishment of a community centre in the Wellington region for use and enjoyment of all Filipino-Kiwi residents, their families and friends from the wider community. It will be a place where people of all walks of life can gather together to celebrate their humanity and cultural diversity together. Bulwagan foundation continues to raise fund and from time to time hold events. Donations are welcome and can be made directly into Bulwagan’s Westpac account. Account Name : Bulwagan Foundation
