SAYAW, a traditional Filipino folk dance
group, at Filipino Night 2008 last Sunday.
The Filipino American Student
Association put on the event, which had
performances ranging from dancing to a
martial arts demo.
UW’s FASA (Filipino American Student Association) hosted a program called “Press Play: Filipino Night 2008” to celebrate cultural pride. Many performances were done from dancing to singing to stand-up comedies and martial arts. There are also presentations made by the Filipino community, like F.A.M.I.L.Y group who featured spoken word acts and FILHARMONY choir sang.
The show has been a success and FASA members are excited to plan again for next year’s performance.
