BACKGROUND

The Philippine Society of Boston College (PSBC) is a diverse organization that strives to foster Filipino culture on campus. Through various events, PSBC promotes an atmosphere of education, understanding, and most importantly, friendship. Now in our 18th year, we hold the longest standing multi-cultural show, which showcases, in particular, Filipino dances. Through our show, newsletter, and forums, we endeavour to promote awareness of Filipino traditions and history.

PSBC is also an active participant in the Filipino Intercollegiate Networking Dialogue (FIND, Inc.). As a part of District One, PSBC works with nine other schools in the greater Boston area to network Filipino student organizations and promote unity through events like Kamayan and the Fall Dialogue. The club extends membership to all BC students; out "PAMILYA" is open to anyone interested in learning about Filipino culture!
