The Philippine American Society of Central Ohio (PASCO) promotes the culture and heritage of the Filipinos. We are based in Central Ohio. Registration is FREE.

The Philippine American Society of Central Ohio or more commonly called PASCO by its members, was established in 1974 by a group of Filipinos and Americans in the Central Ohio area. These founding members realized the need for preserving the cultural heritage of the local Filipino community. By combining their ideas, talents and efforts thru this association, they were able to serve a larger number of Filipino residents and their families. Today, PASCO is the socio-civic association of over 400 Filipino, American and Filipino-American families. Visit our website at http://pascocmh.wixsite.com/pasco

Mission:
The objective of this association shall be:
1. To provide and/or promote programs for the educational advancement of the members.
2. To participate in activities and projects in the interest of the Filipino American community.
3. To disseminate information about the Philippines and Filipino American experience[s] in the United States.
4. To preserve and promote the Filipino social and cultural heritage.

A little taste of home, served with a twist 🥭🇵🇭

In celebration of Filipino American History Month, Bonifacio is serving a drink inspired by a much-loved Filipino dessert all October long!

Mango Float Cocktail is a creamy concoction that blends Oyo vanilla vodka, coconut rum, mango purée, lemon juice, heavy cream, and simple syrup, finished with a Biscoff rim for an extra touch of sweetness. Oh, and a non-alcoholic version is available too. 😉

This month, $2 from every Mango Float Cocktail sold will support the Philippine American Society of Central Ohio (PASCO) and its work in bringing Filipino Americans together.

Raise a glass to heritage, community, and the flavors that connect us. 🙌
