PASS Penny
Wars was a huge
success in or der
to raise money
towar d PASS?s
3rd annual
Phi li ppine Cul tur e Night. Penny Wars in cluded
four dares in whi ch the losing team would get
their face pain ted, do a Fil ip in o dance call ed the
Otso-Otso, cross the Red Cedar River, and eat a
very special Halo Halo. The theme for Penny
Wars was Pokmon, in which the teams woul d
battle it out by donating either for their team or
against another. We would l ike to thank our
alumni for their generosity in donating towards
Penny War s. Please check out the State News for
a vi deo r ecap of PASS Penny War s.
PASS members also pain ted the rock i n the month
of October to celebrate Fil ipi no Amer ican History
Month. We also par took in a chal lenge given to
the Midw est Filipin o organizations known as
MAFA Filabucketl ist. This challenge involved
doin g cultur al dances, decorating your campus,
and postin g interestin g ar ticles related to Fili pin o
Ameri cans on the Midw est Association of Fili pin o
Ameri cans Facebook page. We are happy to
announce that PASS came in fi r st i n th is
challenge.
The pur pose of

commun iti es through our phil anthropy. For the

met w ith the season's fi r st snowfall , whi ch
challenged our commit tee and attendees through
the r ough weather. But special thanks to our
fr iends, famil y, and the Mi dwest Associati on of
Fili pino Amer ican members for tr avelin g near
and far to attend, we w ere able to r aise money
for the Phi li ppine Red Cross in aid of those

perf ormances such as Maglalatik and Banga, a
saxophone duet of the Phi li ppine anthem, a
power ful spoken w ord about Fili pino Amer ican

After attending the

were per for med. The
conference all owed members
to expand their n etw ork w ith

issues, and even learn how to
cook f il ip in o r ecipes. Also,
many m embers were able to unite or r euni te

well as
introduce
our selves to

as well as the whi sper challenge.
Dur ing our thi r d GBM, we in tr oduced
Fil ip ino folk lor e and pain ted the faces
of the losing team dur ing that w eek?s

This semester, PASS
welcomed our n ew
member s w ith our
year ly tr aditi on of dr ink ing bubble tea
at Bubble Island as our fi r st social of
the year. We spent hour s just dr in ki ng
bubble tea, hanging out , playin g board
games and gett ing to know one
another. There was a gr eat tur nout
and people seemed to enjoy bubble tea
and their fi r st social w ith the
organization th is year. This inspi r ed
our need for more sim il ar socials,
whi ch led to the Cider Mi ll social. PASS
took a small group to Uncle John?s
Cider Mil l in Saint Johns, Michigan and
in tr oduced some new and old
members to good ol?Michigan apple
cider and donuts. From tr actor tour s to
the beauti fu l w eather by the orchard,
it was defini tely a fun fi lled, r elaxing
social w ith m any photogr aphic
oppor tuni ties. Lastly, the AKA progr am
was once again a huge success. We
tr ied a blanket r eveal thi s year where
the ate/kuya would be on one side and
their new ading(s) would be on the
other side. When the blanket dropped
your new famil y was made It was
followed by a fami ly di nner at Charl ie
Kang?s and w ith the newest addi ti ons
of ates,
kuyas,
and
adings,
our
Pamilya
continues
to grow.
Aside
