Ilocano USA INC of Tampa Bay - About {block:Description} {/block:Description} Home About Contact Archives RSS Email {Title} About IUSA Long before Ilocano USA (IUSA) was formally organized and officially recognized as an integral part of the Philippine Cultural Foundation, Inc. (PCFI) in 1999, its members had been in the forefront of the Foundation's success. A non-profit organization, IUSA has always been a staunch supporter of major PCFI activities, such as annual PhilFests, Sampaguita Balls, concerts, and cultural presentations. Unprecedented is IUSA's success in garnering nine (9) consecutive Mrs. or Miss PhilFest crowns, and awards given to the PCFI member association raising the most funds for the Foundation. This is certainly attributed to the unity, admirable focus, and enviable cooperative spirit prevailing in the organization. IUSA's current president for the years 2009-2011 is Ross Balderama. Membership is open anyone who identifies with IUSA's goals and objectives. Computer Mission In addition to contributing to the success of PCFI in attaining its noble goals, IUSA members have undertaken the noble task of donating refurbished computers to needed high schools in Northern Philippines. In 2002, IUSA decided to adopt the Youth Technology Corps program precisely for organizing three computer missions. The first in June 2003 and the second in January 2006, both chaired by Roger Caculitan; and the third in December 2008 chaired by Manny Domisiw. In the third computer mission last December, 330 refurbished computers were donated to 42 high schools. To date, a grand total of 690 computers have been donated by the associated to 78 high schools in Northern Luzon. ↑ Top List of Current Officers President: Ross Balderama, MD Executive Vice-President: Marly Balderama Hernando Co.
