History

Late in 1994, Manny, a senior technical instructor for a major software company in Canada at that time, came up with the idea of organizing a group of Filipino-Canadians who are in information technology profession. A meeting was held at the residence of Vic. He has been a long term computer programmer for a major hydro company. A plan was put in place to formally establish the group. This plan, however, was temporarily postponed when Manny was injured in a car accident in the spring of 1995. He suffered a broken neck which incapacitated him for a year. Manny resurrected the original plan and invited a volunteer group for a get together which was again held at the residence of Vic early in 1999. The first meetings held were to establish the group's code of ethics. The first meeting not intended for organizational purposes was held in March 1999 and featured "Careers in IT" as the subject of discussion.
