So you keep hearing about Philippine Culture Night, but what is it exactly?

The 5th annual Philippine Culture Night is FASA's big event of the year that tops off October's Filipino History Month. It showcases a variety of performances including modern and traditional dances, spoken word, musical performances, Noraysa Kulintang Ensemble, special guests Roxas Brothers and Ashlee Barrera, and more! If that's not enough to get you to go, there will also be authentic Filipino food served for dinner!
