The Filipino American Leadership Council dreams and envisions the Filipinos in the United States to be equal partners of the American people in enjoying their legitimate rights, liberties, and freedom as guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States, and be afforded every opportunity, without bias, to achieve their greatest potentials, in their personal and professional life, and significantly impact the greater future of the United States as the most powerful nation on earth, and of the Philippines, our native land.
The Filipino American Leadership Council embodies the American Dream of all of its members and all peoples in America, where equality, tolerance and justice are as sacred and as revered as individual honor and human dignity themselves. FALCON shall provide the inspiration, vigilance and leadership in setting excellence among all Filipinos in the United States, enabling them to have a leveled playing field, a more just environment, and greater opportunities for them to achieve their best as citizens of this great nation, in rearing their family, educating their children, and in serving America and the Philippines by productively contributing to their progress and development .
