Cultural Dance Director at Akbayan Pilipinx-American Organization at SJSU - San Jose, California, United States
Akbayan means, "Embracing in Friendship." Along with the SJSU community, other universities, the Filipino community, and the larger community, we strive to increase our knowledge of the Pilipino/Pilipino-American culture and share the beauty of the heritage. Akbayan started out with a group of Pilipino/Pilipino-American college students from SJSU gaining consciousness about their heritage and culture. The group was inspired to create an organization based on the Pilipino/Pilipino-American culture. In 1976, Akbayan was born. Initially, it started out as a social group where Filipinos had a chance to meet new people. Over the years, it has evolved to become an organization concerned with cultural and community concepts as well.Follow/Add Us on Social Media:Facebook: Akbayan SJSUTwitter and Instagram: @akbayansjsuFlickr: Akbayan SJSU-2020-2021 CabinetPresident - John Raphael YumulVice President - Cora AsuncionTreasurer - Ronaldo Legrama Jr.Secretary - Monica RamosCommunity & Political Affairs Chair - Anna VerzosaCultural Chair - Jessica YumulSocial Chair - Angelo-Joseph TinioAcademic Chair - Elizabeth DocenaKAAMP Coordinator - Ethan TownerPCN Coordinator - Maelin AquinoInternship Coordinator - Danielle CameglaPublic Relations Officers - Ian GarciaMedia Officers - Kevin Dabi, Joshua Iglesias, and Sydney Wong-Disclaimer:Akbayan SJSU is not affiliated with any local, state, national, or international organization.
