CCE is a community of Igorots or Cordillerans residing in New York and the surrounding states, proudly representing the diverse provinces of ABRA, APAYAO, BAGUIO, 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 an independent group dedicated to promoting the Igorot cultural heritage and history through ethnic dances and songs in our traditional native attire, celebrating courtship, kinship, and friendship, social gatherings, and festivities.
