    WELCOME TO AKBAYAN!

    Akbayan means, "Embracing in Friendship." Along with the SJSU community, other universities, the Filipino community, and the larger communty, 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... Seeing how many other students on campus had their own clubs, fraternities, and sororities, 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 political concepts as well.

    Akbayan is more than just embracing in friendship; it is a place where people can learn more about themselves and the Pilipino/Pilipino- American culture and community.
    .. We have many events lined up for this fall and spring semester... come out and support us =]
    Don't forget to check our calender for dates!

    Hiya! I hope your Friday is going well so far. I just wanted to tell you about two free gifts I'm giving away on my website. Just go to my website mentioned on my page and I'll send them to you right away.
    When you join my club, you'll learn how to make some real money online like I do. Learn this stuff, it's not as hard as many people think.

    American Music Theatre of San Jose presents
    Flower Drum Song

    Filipino Heritage Night
    November 8, 2008 at 8p
    San Jose Center for the Performing Arts
    255 Almaden Boulevard, downtown San Jose




    Music by RICHARD RODGERS
    Lyrics by OSCAR HAMMERSTEIN II
    Book by DAVID HENRY HWANG
    Based on the original book by
    Oscar Hammerstein II and Joseph Fields
    Based on the novel by C.Y.
    Lee

    Set in the late 1950s, this new adaptation centers on Mei-Li who arrives in San Francisco's Chinatown after fleeing communist China. The naive young refugee is befriended by Wang, who is struggling to keep the Chinese Opera theatrical tradition alive despite his son's determination to turn the family theatre into a rowdy nightclub. A unique blending of American razz-ma-tazz and stylized Chinese traditions, this beautiful theatrical tapestry is highlighted by its wonderful score, that is both romantic and showbiz-brassy and includes "I Enjoy Being a Girl," "A Hundred Million Miracles," "Sunday" and "Chop Suey.
    "

    Part of the proceeds goes to
    Manilatown Heritage Foundation!

    To purchase tickets please visit: http://ev6. evenue. net/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ExecMacro/evenue/ev69/se/DisplayPromoList. d2w/report?linkID=amtsj&RSRC=&RDAT=&caller=PR
