A Brief History of FilCom Oxford
FilCom Oxford was founded in 2002 by Sister Clare Joseph, a Filipino missionary nun from the religious order of Assumption. Fr David Hartley, the then Roman Catholic chaplain to the Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals NHS Trust (now at Sacred Heart, Blackbird Leys) also made a huge contribution to the formation of the Filipino Community of Oxfordshire.
The executive committee of FilCom Oxford was formed in 2004 with Mr Jose Ariel Lanada as Chairman and Mrs Geraldine Yebra as Vice-Chairwoman.
FilCom Oxford is now recognized by the Philippine Embassy, London and by the Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals NHS Trust.
Membership of FilCom Oxford is free of charge and an official identification card is provided free to all members.
