VT FASA’s 24th annual Culture Show 3

History ofFASA

How It All Began …

It was the first meeting with FSA, the graduate Filipino association: older alumni, with families and good Filipino home cooking. Fun, laughter, stories and friends, what more could a young group of Filipino undergraduates ask for? Well, the age difference kicked in. FSA had their own memories and lives. This group of Filipinos wanted something else, something more in their league.

Ten years ago, in the fall of 1988, this small group of tight-knit Filipino friends started the tradition, potlucks and gatherings of their own. As they met more and more Filipinos, the events got bigger and better. It seemed that the only question that came up every week at the gatherings were, “Where’s the next meeting, Hunters Ridge or Terrace View?” And someone comes out with, “Why don’t we come up with a club of our own? An undergraduate Filipino Student Organization.” If FSA could be an organization doing all the things this undergraduate group wanted to do, like hanging out, eating home-cooked food, and playing basketball, then why couldn’t we do the same? At this point, FASA was already a club; it was just a matter of getting it down on paper and coming up with the actual name—FASA. Here comes FASA.

One evening, Gary Encarnacion called a meeting at Hunters Ridge. It was time. Gary wanted input on what the name of the organization should be, what the constitution should be comprised of, and of course, should there be dues? The following people who came to this meeting and helped in the planning process were the original founders of FASA: Gary Encarnacion, Elaine Castillo, Darlene DeVera, Randy Padilla, Kim Nicdao, Hedssen Serrano, and Marlene Mangosing.

Through these founders, FASA officially became a club at Virginia Tech by January of 1989. It became full-force meetings, events, and officers, from hanging out at different apartments, to organizing meetings in classrooms to plan such events. One big event was the International Fair. Food, fun, articles of culture, the fair incorporated it all, and gave FASA the chance to present its club to the public at Virginia Tech.

1st Annual Cultural Night

In the Fall of 1988, FASA had its First Annual Cultural Night. It was held in the Baptist Student Union and was funded by the initial FASA members themselves. There was no stage, people sat on the floor, and people in the back had to stand up to see what was going on. Costumes for the guys consisted of sweat pants rolled up, white T-shirts, and bandanas around the neck. But even with these constraints, this was their show, and they just wanted to make it happen. It was the first show and it turned out a success! The hard work and dedication led to the tradition that it is today. With Cultural Night being such a big hit, it was a sign that FASA was definitely here to stay.

Written for the 10th Annual Culture Night (1998)



Letter from The PresidentDear Family and Friends,

I would like you all to know that your son/daughter/brother/sister/niece/nephew/best friend is doing well. How would I know? Because they’ve decided to join FASA. What FASA is, is a home away from home, a place to relax and get away from the stressors of school, a family. We are unlike any other organization on campus because we strive for excellence, are proud of our now 24-year legacy, and focus on the happiness of our members. We create an atmosphere where all are welcome regardless of racial or ethnic background. I am most proud to say that FASA espouses the best values of Filipino culture: hospitality, food, and family.

When I became president, I was excited for the challenge of continuing FASA’s growth and adding value for the members. I was joined by a great executive team and wonderful group of officers who shared my passion for the organization. Together, we were able to set goals and achieve them. This resulted in a very successful fall semester where we were able to welcome a very large freshman class into our FASA family. FASA is growing. So long as we continue to show prospective members that FASA is family, we will continue to grow.

Unfortunately, college does end and we will all eventually leave Blacksburg. We decided that to add value for members, more professional opportunities were needed for FASA. My team and I were able to start building connections with school administration and professionals in FASA’s alumni network. Our meetings with school administration got FASA’s name out to the highest members of Virginia Tech’s leadership. These relationships will serve as an invaluable resource to future FASA leaders. Our familiarity with school administration will allow FASA to take on bigger and more ambitious projects. We were already able to host a mixer this year where school administration met students from all the AASU organizations and saw how passionate we are about making a difference at Virginia Tech. We have also begun projects to give our members more and better job opportunities. This work was facilitated by FASA alumni Patricio Tanyag. Our goal is to give the future leaders of FASA recognition and rewards for their dedication and love of FASA.

I am sad that I will be leaving FASA so soon after Culture Night. Truthfully, the best thing any of us can and have ever done for FASA is to graduate. Graduation allows a new generation of passionate leaders to take the reins and make FASA their own. I believe that this year was outstandingly successful and that the future leaders of this organization are filled with love for the organization. I love FASA and hope that you, the friends and family, understand why your son/daughter/brother/sister/niece/nephew/best friend also loves FASA as well. I would like to thank all of you for continuing to support VT FASA as we complete our 24th culture night. I would like to especially thank the alumni for giving us such a special legacy to take part in.

Best Wishes,Grant Black



Letter fromThe Vice President

Welcome to the Filipino American Student Association’s 24th Annual Culture Night!

Today, Culture Night (CN) turns 24. That’s 24 long years of legacy, history, and tradition. I couldn’t be more thankful to have been a part of this organization for the past 4 years. Tonight will be the last time I preform on this stage. Tonight marks the culmination of my involvement with FASA. You would think that after two years of being an officer and one year as VicePresident that I would be relieved to finally be free of all my responsibilities for FASA. My emotions right now don’t even come close to that. A huge part of me is sad because I know that this is the beginning of the end.

Tonight’s show is twelve weeks in the making—twelve weeks of sacrificing our own personal time for dance practices, script practices, run-throughs, and behind the scenes stuff. When we came back from winter break, I was more than ready to get the CN season started. The season started off just like every other—full of excitement and anticipation for the upcoming weeks. But then the weeks went by and CN wasn’t so fun anymore. People started to lose sight as to why they signed their life away for Spring Semester. I asked myself during this time, “Why did I want to do this again?” It all came back to me as soon as I set foot into the first practice back from Spring Break. Watching the dancers with their inside jokes, laughing, and bonding helped me realize that this is why I wanted so badly to be VP. The people that will be performing for you tonight have inspired me throughout this entire journey. They are my purpose for Culture Night.

Every smile, laugh, tear, and breakdown was worth it because of the people that have helped put this show together. Yes, CN is about showcasing our Filipino heritage. There’s no doubt that we will accomplish this; however, it’s so much more than that. CN is FASA’s way of showing all of you how much we’ve grown into a family throughout this whole process.

I am so unbelievably proud of the members and participants. Let tonight be a representation of all of our hard work, dedication, and heart for this organization. More importantly, let tonight be a representation of our love for each other.

With that, I’d like to take some time to say thank you to a few people who have been by my side since the beginning. First and foremost, thank you to the two people who have influenced me over the past 21 years. Mommy and Daddy, it is because of you that I am the person that I am today. To my roomies, thank you for putting a smile on my face at the end of a stressful day. And of course, I’d like to say thank you to Ralph. Ralph, thank you for your constant patience and for always pushing me to be the best person that I can be. Last but definitely not least, thank you to my wonderful performers, participants, officers, and general members. It’s been a long twelve weeks and an even longer school year but we made it… together. I am honored to have been your VP and CN coordinator this year. All of you have surpassed my expectations for this show and have made my final year with FASA an extremely memorable one.

Now, let’s get this show started! Sit back, relax, and enjoy the Virginia Tech Filipino American Student Association’s 24th Annual Culture Night: Ang Aming Sakripisyo!

Love always,Mary Ann Calica

NationalAnthems

The Star-Spangled BannerNational Anthem of the United States of America

Sung By Vincent Fronteras, Hannah Johnson, and Alice Park

Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early lightWhat so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming.

Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,

O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming.And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave

O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Tagalog VersionBayang magiliw,

Perlas ng SilangananAlab ng puso,

Sa Dibdib mo’y buhay.

Lupang Hinirang,Duyan ka ng magiting.

Sa manlulupig,Di ka pasisiil.

Sa dagat at bundok,Sa simoy at sa langit mong bughaw,

May dilag ang tula,At awit sa paglayang minamahal.

Ang kislap ng watawat mo’yTagumpay na nagniningning,

Ang bituin at araw niya,Kailan pa ma’y di magdidilim.

Lupa ng araw ng luwalhati’t pagsinta,Buhay ay langit sa piling mo,

Aming ligaya na pag may mang-aapi,Ang mamatay ng dahil sa iyo.

English TranslationBeloved country,Pearl of the Orient,The heart’s fervor,In your chest is ever alive.

Chosen land,You are the cradle of the brave.To the conquerors,You shall never surrender.

In the seas and mountains,In the air and your blue sky,There is splendor in the poemAnd [in the] song for beloved freedom.

The sparkle of your flagIs the victory that shines.Its stars and sunShall forever never dim.

Land of the sun, of glory and our affections,Life is heaven in your arms;It is our joy, when there are oppressors,To die for you.

Lupang HinirangNational Anthem of the Republic of the Philippines

Sung By Vincent Fronteras, Hannah Johnson, and Alice Park



Synopsis/Show Order

ABOUT THE SHOWThis story is about a young accountant named Amaro who works hard to provide for his family after the death of his father. Amaro’s mother is sick and bed ridden so his sister, Myra, is forced to stay at home to take care of her mother while Amaro goes out to work. Myra nags at Amaro to focus more attention to his family instead of work but Amaro argues that he needs to focus on work so that he can get a raise so that he can comfortably provide for his family.

One day Amaro is on his way to the District Attorney’s office to let him know that he is trying to take a case involving the audit of the current mayor of Lipa City, Lorenzo Florentine. The DA warns Amaro that perform-ing an audit of the mayor in current times could reveal things that could incite a riot. Amaro acknowledges how crucial this audit is but reasons that he feels that there is something wrong with the system. However, Amaro believes that if he has the opportunity to prove to the public sector that the mayor isn’t corrupt, then he is willing to take the risk.

The bamboos are meant to trap the birds as they walk between grass stems or run over tree branches. The skill is demonstrated in dancing between the bamboos and in keeping the feet from being caught between the bamboo poles, there is much fun, however, when the bamboo players catch the feet of the dancers. This dance is a favorite in the Visayan Islands, especially in the province of Leyte.

Rhonyll SeballosScholarship

EJ Bernabe started this scholarship fund in 1990. The first recipient was a Filipino American high school student in the Philip-pines. In 2000, the Virginia Tech Filipino American Student Association renamed its annual scholarship award the Rhonyll Seballos Memorial Scholarship to honor the life of one of the organization’s greatest advocates. Affectionately known by his family and friends as “Bong,” Seballos was an active member of FASA, dedicating much of his time to the club during his undergraduate years. His appreciation for his culture inspired other young Filipino American students to learn more about their heritage. Unfortunately, while visiting his homeland in January 2000, Seballos unexpectedly suffered cardiac arrest and died with his cousin at his side. Although his life was cut short at the age of 28, Seballos touched countless lives.

He was one of those individuals who never met a stranger. Seballos’ closest friends (most of whom are FASA alumni) and family members finished raising the $25,000 needed to endow a scholarship honoring Seballos and his commitment to enriching the FASA program at Virginia Tech. In a true community effort, the group hosted grassroot fundraising efforts—including concerts, socials, raffles, and yard sales—to meet their goals. Fundraising drive organizers said the experiences have proved valuable in promoting higher education and helping to foster a sense of accountability within the bicultural community. Applicants must demonstrate outstanding leadership skills and maintain a 2.5 overall quality credit average. Seballos dreamed of accomplishing great things, and through the scholarship he will. This scholarship fund is a way of keeping his spirit alive, while helping others reach their scholastic dreams.

Fashion Show/Vendors

The name “Manila Gorilla” came from a play off the founder’s initials. It has been around for the better part of a decade but the inspiration goes back to ancient times. It simply means quality goods - since creation. Manila Gorilla isn’t about Manila or wildlife more than it is about bringing you quality goods from our workshop in Philadelphia, PA, USA. Service is our only product.

In 2006, ETHNIKROOTS came onto the fashion scene with one goal in mind: to educate others through fashion. Blending street culture with the traditions, symbols and characteristics of different ethnicities across the world, ETHNIKROOTS strives to give the world something it has been seen before: a true mix of the traditional with the contemporary. We focus on bringing the cutting edge designs, while paying homage to those who came before us. Giving everyone the ability to wear history is our mission. Breaking barriers between cultures is our passion. That is the mission statement of ETHNIKROOTS.

Founded in 2009 by Virginia Tech Alumnus JR Bautista, “AiReal Appar-el” is a Virginia based clothing brand specializing in streetwear clothing and accessories. AiReal Apparel products draw inspiration from sports, music, hip hop culture, and cultural roots. The name AiReal is a deri-vationof the two words “air” and “real.” “Air signifies being “fly,” setting aspirations high and believing that “the sky is the limit” for everything in life. “Real” signifies staying true and “keeping it real” with one’s self, family, friends, and roots. Through out clothing, products, and initiatives in the community, we push out fans and friends to “Keep it AiReal!”

A healthy way of eating

It seems like just yesterday we were

both in high school, hanging out

during 4th block and waiting for

everyone else to get out of school.

And I still remember coming to visit

during my senior year to watch you

dance in a loincloth for your first

FASA Culture Night :) Look at how

far we've come since then. These

past years have been quite an

adventure, but I'm glad to have

experienced so much with you.

Live up the rest of your time here

and congrats on your last Culture

Night!

<3 Jessica Estariz

I'm proud of you roomie!

You're an awesome friend, strong

person, and overall great person.

Who knew that two years ago

when we met, we would become

such good friends, let alone

roommates? You might be leaving

when you graduate, but we'll be

friends for a long time.

1204C for life!

Joey Diaz

To one of the nicest, most humble

guys I know…

It's been 4 years already? Congrats

on graduating, Marky Mark! You're

gonna rock your last culture show. Love always, Anessa Caalim

Hey Mark! SUP DOE! This is your big

year where you move on & do big

things. It is great having you as a

friend for so many years and I hope

we will continue to stay in contact.

Jeff Chow

Congrats on your last Culture Night, Mark!

Markus! I will feel forever

responsible for giving you that

nickname! haha Congrats on the

last 4 years at Tech and 4

wonderful culture shows! Thanks for

all the great memories and all the

funsies we've had! I'll miss you lots!

Love Always,

Anne Dumadag :)

Hey, Mark! Congraduations! I don't

know quite how to say this but

something about being free of

school and now able to go create

the future he wants. Then be

awesome. Then end it with

"AVATAR STATE. YIP YIP."

I suck at these things.

You will always be my other big!

Thanks for all the good memories,

especially during my Freshmen

year at Tech. I definitely miss those

nights where we’d just hang out

with our HS friends at someone's

dorm & do random stuff, whether it

be making stupid videos, cracking

jokes at each other, or making fun

of the girls. Or that time when we

walked for miles in deep snow just

to get a can of spam? CHEERS TO

GREAT TIMES! I think the picture of

us sleeping together on the floor

defines our friendship very well.

Good luck in the future! Show 'em who's boss. Nik Buela

love always, The Courtyard Kids

Dear Markus, it’s been so awesome

getting to know you these past

couple of years and getting to go

to VT with you! It’s nice having

someone who can appreciate

Chinese frogs, playdoh, avatar,

and graphic designing! Espeially

since Jessica’s lameeee

(sometimes), haha. I’m excited we

have another year in Blacksburg

together so we can do things like

get smoothies together (did you

know the Trop Smoothie in

Haygood is the only one with a

drive thru?). Congrats on

everything you’ve accomplished,

Mark. You’re awesome!

Rachel Estariz

Dear Mark,

I love you. Good luck with the real

world and know that I got your

back anytime!

Love, Alex Ung

Instead of suggesting a PedoMark

photo, I suggested one where we

are displaying our forged bond of

BroHood. Because that's what real

friends do. Congratulations on your

achievements - you've done so

much & yet have so much more to

accomplish. I'm proud of you. I also

look up to you. This is getting too

emotional. Congrats again!

“BUT…BUT… BROS”

Matt Veland

Mark!! I can't believe you’re about

to graduate! It feels like just

yesterday that we were back in HS

walking in the hallways of PA. From

high school to now, it has been an

incredible journey with laughter,

memories, & our countless

adventures with the Courtyard

Kids! I know there are many more

memories to come!

Easha Patel

I'm so glad we got to have girl talk

even though Jaime was trying to

sleep. Nicole Mayaen

PS. Thank you Aileen “Clutch City” Dollete for taking care of pictures and cameras.
