Filipino American Association of Southern Ohio - FASO

Filipino American Association of Southern Ohio - FASO The Filipino-American Association of Southern Ohio (FASO) has been serving our Filipino American community of greater Cincinnati since 1962

FASO has promoted Filipino American relationships through its traditional Spring Dance, summer picnic and Christmas party. FASO has also been involved in the Cincinnati International Folk Festivals and local cultural activities i.e. Tagalog language classes and Filipino folk dancing. Our community outreach services include hosting Philippine Consular visits to provide consular services for the Tri

-State Filipinos. The “Damayan” (working together) Fund of FASO helps Filipinos from the Tri-State area that are in financial and social distress. FASO has also collected and provided relief funds for Haiti’s catastrophic earthquake. During our annual Christmas party FASO gathers canned goods to donate to our area’s indigent families. Another cultural activity is the traditional “parol making” and “Simbang Gabi”. FASO’s focus is “to give back” to the community by helping TriState Filipino-Americans who are in need of financial and social support, and by extending these efforts to help victims of catastrophic events, especially in the Philippines. In 2013, FASO spearheaded relief efforts in the Cincinnati area for victims of Typhoon Haiyan. Funds collected will be used to construct a primary school building in a devastated community in the eastern Visayan islands of the Philippines. FASO’s active “Filipino American Cultural and Performing Arts” groups promote the rich heritage of the Philippines through songs and dances. Other traditional cultural activities are “parol making” and the “Simbang Gabi”. FASO’s Education committee’s monthly seminars have presented various topics including “Medicare”, “Living with Lewy Body Dementia”, “Parenting in America” and “Maintaining Optimal Health through the Life Span”. FASO has also sponsored a Health Screening Day for the community.
