On Friday, March 7, from 6:00pm - 8:00pm, in place of Samahang Pilipino's Week 9 General Meeting, Pilipinos for Community Health and Samahang Pilipino are hosting a Winter Talent Show!
"Bigayan" in Tagalog means "giving," so the goal of Talent Show this quarter is to raise awareness and money in support of PCH's Medical Outreach Project to collect medical supplies for the Rural Health Unit of various communities in the Philippines.
Bigayan is a creative outlet for students to express themselves and their culture through songs, performances, spoken word, dance, or whatever talents they have to share!
Applications for performers are available in the SPEAR cubicle (Student Activities Center Room 105) and are due by Monday, March 3 at 5:00PM (Week 9).
OR, you can access the application by clicking: Bigayan Talent Show Application (.doc) (Please send filled out applications to pch@ucla.edu AND samahang@ucla.edu, and we will confirm through email when we receive it).
