Welcome
LORETENOS IN THE U.S.A AND CANADA, acronym "LUSCAN" is a non-profit
charitable organization, tax-exempt under 501(c)(3) of the United States
Internal Revenue Code.
LUSCANS support each other, preserve the Loretonian culture and tradition in
the U.S.A and
Canada, and help others who are less fortunate and in need.
In the U.S.A and Canada, we enhance our lives through yearly reunions by sharing news about our
towns and barangays (barrios) of Loreto and Tubajon. We 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.
Brought to you by the members of LUSCAN
The remote island communities of Loreto & Tubajon lie in the west
central part of the Philippines. It's location makes life's daily needs
inaccessible, unlike the developed cities of the Philippines. LUSCANS,
who are more fortunate, are committed to help improve lives in these rural
communities.
LUSCAN has built a lasting legacy to promote learning in the communities of
Loreto and Tubajon. LUSCAN constructed the LUSCAN Library and has now become the source of knowledge for all high school
students and grade school
children. Also through LUSCAN, the medical missions of Fruitful Harvest and
One World Medicine, have benefited people back home with medical care
through this
charitable work.

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. |
