MSOpinion Philippine Columbian’s nationalist heritage “While PCA is proud of its glorious past, it is mindful of the challenges of the present, and hopeful of its future”
“While PCA is proud of its glorious past, it is mindful of the challenges of the present, and hopeful of its future”It was a time to reminisce its contributions to Philippine society that have spanned for more than 100 years and its role “in transforming our citizens into well-rounded [and] competitive individuals who… cast their lot in nation building” .
The construction of the first PCA clubhouse in Pasay was made from the P5,000 donation of philanthropist Don Teodoro Yangco. PCA’s role in shaping the democratic values of Filipinos was recognized by Philippine Presidents. President Ramon Magsaysay, speaking before PCA said “I welcome this opportunity because this club, the Philippine-Columbian, has always been renowned as a gathering place for those who believe in the principles of liberty and justice that typify our nation” .
Understanding the regional diversity of our country even at that time, President Garcia said that “the feeling of regionalism was rather prevalent and this [has] undermined the cohesion of our population. But [e]spousing the cause of equality among Filipinos in social, business and government circles, our Club greatly assisted in effecting the changes necessary to our oneness as a people.”
During the 100th Anniversary of Philippine Columbian in December 2007, President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo said “… the members of Philippine Columbian are leaders and prime movers of various sectors of Philippine society. And therefore, we can say that for 100 years now the members of Philippine Columbian have demonstrated [their] commitment to the nation’s peace, growth and pride in the Filipino” .
