About Us

FOSBE Committee

FoSBE is a collaboration of PASACAT; the Filipino American National Historical Society (FANHS-SD); and the Council of Philippine American Organizations of San Diego, County, Inc. (COPAO). The three organizations led three listening sessions in the winter, spring and summer of 2022 to gather stories for the exhibit. The Committee collectively has over 300 years of community involvement as leaders, educators and artists in the San Diego region. They developed the concept and curated this first-of-a-kind exhibit.
