Sama Sama Tayong Maglakbay

Magandang araw po sa Inyo.  Bago ang lahat, ako po at sampu ng pamunuan ng PLCAA ay taos pusong  nagpapasalamat sa inyong pagtangkilik at higit sa lahat sa
inyong pagtitiwala sa amin upang patuloy na maitaguyod ang dakilang layunin ng ating samahan.

Halos limang taon na ang nakalipas mula ng matatag ang samahang ito.  At sa mga nagdaang panahon aking nasaksiyan at namalas ang matulin at matagumpay na pag-unlad nito.Amin pong pakay na sa pamamagitan ng PLCAA aymaipamalas at lalong  mapagyaman ang ating sariling wika at kulturang Pilipino mula sa loob ng ating sariling tahanan at hanggang sa buong komunidad.

Kami ay lubos na naniniwala sa adhikaing ito, kaya magsama-sama tayo at magtulong-tulong sa paglalakbay na ito. 

Danny Rosales
PLCAA President

Celebrating Culture:  Service, Collaboration, Integration

PLCAA celebrates its 5th anniversary in 2012. We have enjoyed sharing our rich Philippine culture and enhancing the cultural diversity of the City of Penrith. PLCAA has provided opportunities for people to share their talents and skills through music, dance and art through its continuing projects: Penrith Community Filipino School, Penrith Filipino Gazette, PLCAA Glee Club, PLCAA Cultural Dancers, Filipino Cultural Heritage Youth Camp, and Carols on Wheels. We thank the volunteers for their dedication and commitment.


With the 2012 PLCAA Board, I am confident that 2012 will be memorable as we lead PLCAA to greater heights through collaboration and integration.

I also thank the Penrith City Council, Philippine Consulate General in Sydney, NSW Federation of Community Languages School, the Philippine Community Council of NSW and its affiliate- organisations, all of which have been invaluable partners in almost all of PLCAA’s community events. These partnerships have made a big difference towards our contributions to the community
