The Filipino Community Center is a community organization based in San Francisco, California, founded in 2004. It provides a space where Filipino families can access services, receive support, and connect with others. The center pursues community empowerment through organizing, advocacy, and leadership development to address immediate and long-term needs locally and in the Philippines. Its work is rooted in bayanihan, a tradition of neighbors working together to strengthen their communities. The center traces its origins to Excelsior-area residents who organized in response to post-9/11 layoffs of Filipino immigrant airport screeners in the Bay Area, and in 2023 it hosted Philippine Independence Day festivities that featured the participation of Senator Risa Hontiveros.
