Welcome
The remote island community ties of Loreto & Tubajon lie in the west central part of the
Philippines. Its location makes life's daily needs inaccessible
unlike the developed cities of the Philippines. We, who are more
fortunate, are committed to helping improve life in these rural communities.
Brought to you by the members of LUSCAN
LUSCAN is built on charity and love. We formed ourselves as a united
group whose mission is to care for fellow Loretenos by supporting each
other, preserving the Loretonian culture and tradition in America and
Canada, and helping others who are less fortunate and in need.
In America
and Canada, we enhance our lives in every reunion by sharing news about our
towns and barangays (barrios), remember our folks back home, create an atmosphere of
community, and talk about our common interest – that is to further our goals
to help others. LUSCAN has built a legacy as a united group with caring
individuals by building a learning resource center in Loreto. This center -
the LUSCAN Library - has become the source of knowledge for all high school
students and grade school
children. Also with LUSCAN, the medical missions of Fruitful Harvest, and
One World Medicine, the people back home has benefited medical care of this
charitable work. More....

What is LUSCAN?
LUSCAN stands for Loretenos in the USA and Canada. Loretenos,
also known as "Loretonians"
are originally from Loreto & Tubajon, located in the province of Dinagat Islands, Philippines. Loretenos have been in the U.S.A. as early as 1915. These
Loretenos, along with 30,000 Filipinos, came to North America as
“sacadas” or sugar plantation helpers in Hawaii. Loretenos in
the USA and Canada are passionate and concerned about
the communities in Loreto and Tubajon, Province of Dinagat Islands, Philippines where
loved ones still dwell in this remote but lovely place. |
