Welcome to the Philippine Cordillerans (PhilCor) NSW website.

The objectives of PHILCOR clearly demonstrate the capacity and inherent quality of Cordillerans to be harmonious and caring as they practice brotherhood, to wit:

  • 1. To promote, preserve and maintain the Cordillera social and cultural values and welfare within the association, the Filipino community in Australia and the various communities where the individual members reside;
  • 2. To extend appropriate assistance to members in times of difficulties and to assist new migrants;
  • 3. To contribute within its means and resources to the welfare of the people back in the Philippine Cordillera villages.

LUPANG HINIRANG

Bayang magiliw,
Perlas ng Silanganan,
Alab ng puso,
Sa dibdib mo'y buhay.
Lupang HInirang,
Duyan ka ng magiting,
San mamlulupig,
Di ka pasisiil.
Sa dagat at bundok,
Sa simoy at sa langit mong bughaw,
May dilag ang tula
At awit sa paglayang minamahal.
Ang kislap ng watawat mo'y
Tagumpay na nagniningning;
Ang bituin at araw niya,
Kailan pa ma'y di magdidilim.
Lupa ng araw, ng Luwalhati't pagsinta,
Buhay ay langit sa piling mo;
Aming ligaya, na pag may mang-aapi,
Ang mamatay nang dahil sa iyo.

ADVANCE AUSTRALIA FAIR

Australians all let us rejoice
For we are young and free
We've golden soil and wealth for toil,
Our home is gir t by sea:
Our land abounds in nature's gifts
Of beauty rich and rare,

In history's page let every stage
Advance Australia fair,
In joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Australia fair.

Beneath our radiant Southern Cross,
We'll toil with hearts and hands,
To make this Commonwealth of ours
Renowned of all the lands,
For those who've come across the seas
We've boundless plains to share,

With courage let us all combine
To advance Australia fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia fair.
