The center’s educational and cultural initiatives open the window of opportunity for people of all ages and backgrounds to experience the beauty of Philippine culture. Its free healthcare clinic expands access to vital services desperately needed in Milwaukee County. I thank the Philippine Cultural and Civic Center Foundation for all they do and wish them continued success for years to come.”
Executive Director Romulo Gerardo S.A. Ramos; Executive Secretary B. Jocelyn Agoncillo Ramos; Chairperson Maximo Cueto, Jr., MD; and Dr. Dr. Leticia Cueto accepted the citation on behalf of the organization.
