PATAC (Philippine Advancement Through Arts and Culture)

Promoting Filipino heritage and community issues through culture and arts since 2007.

PATAC is an Anglicized spelling of the Filipino word “patak”. It means a drop of something and aptly describes the basic principle of the organization. “Patak-patak” is a common phrase that Filipinos say when they ask everyone to share whatever they can afford in order to attain a goal; whether it be to help someone or to buy a meal to be shared by everyone.
