CCE is a community of Igorots or Cordillerans residing in New York and the residing states, proudly representing the diverse provinces of ABRA, APAYAO, BENGUET, IFUGAO, KALINGA, and MOUNTAIN PROVINCE in the Philippines of the Cordillera region. Our mission is to honor and preserve our indigenous heritage, culture and history, which we consider as precious gifts worthy of passing to the next generations. We are guided by our sacred principle to promote better relationships, unity, and cooperation amongst each member and with other organizations in the region. We endeavor to support our objectives through social and charitable work by partnering and collaborating with other government and non-government institutions in NY and the nearby states.
The CORDILLERA CULTURAL ENSEMBLE is a BIBAK NY sub-group dedicated to promoting our cultural heritage and history through ethnic dances and songs in our traditional native attires, celebrating courtship, kinship and friendship, social gatherings and festivities.
