Filipinx in Liberal Arts and Humanities (FILAH) is a Filipinx American organization, as implied by its name, that unites Fil-Am students in events related to Liberal Arts and Humanities. FILAH was established as an organization at the University of California, Davis in March 1988. Although FILAH went on hiatus several times after its establishment, we have been going strong for over 10 years now. Our mission is to provide social, academic, cultural, and personal support to students in the various liberal arts, humanities, and social science fields. FILAH's programs adhere to this mission, allowing artistic and social outlets to its members, while contributing to the community at large with events that preserve Filipinx heritage and challenge current sociopolitical issues. It is also a means for expression within the UC Davis Fil-Am community.The organization is open to people of all backgrounds, not just Filipinxs.

FILAH is one of six Filipinx–American student organizations that comprise the Fil–Am at UC Davis.

FILAH holds these events once every quarter: open mics, career panels, kick-its, & dialogues.

America is in the Mic

America is in the Mic (AIITM) is a play on words based off of Filipino writer Carlos Bulasan's book, "America is in the Heart." AIITM is an open mic normally held during Fall quarter.

America is on the Stage

America is on the Stage (AIOTS) is a stage show that features short plays written and directed by students featuring student actors as well. Members get to experience the thrill of performing on stage in various plays utilizing the lighting, stage, and ambiance of our theater venue. AIOTS is held once every year usually during Winter quarter.

Halo Halloween and F*** Valentine's Day

Halo Halloween is a play on words of the traditional Filipinx dessert, Halo-Halo. Halo Halloween is held once every year in the month of October as a social gathering (kick-it) for our members. At Halo Halloween, members get to enjoy a scary movie, Halo-Halo among other desserts and goodies, and the company of others.

F*** Valentine's Day is an anti-Valentine's Day celebration. At F*** Valentine's Day (aka F*** V-Day), members get to enjoy food, cold and pricklies (anti-warm and fuzzies), video games, and an anti-romantic movie. F*** V-Day is held once every year in the month of February. Couples and singles alike are welcome.

Kinabukasan Magazine

Originally, Kinabukasan Magazine was a research magazine under Filipino Cultural Research Organization (FilCRO) until it was transferred to FILAH in 1999. Since then, the magazine has evolved to include personal writings, drawings, and photography along with the research articles about Filipino culture or heritage. Kinabukasan Magazine is traditionally released at the end of the academic year at Fridge-AH Banquet (a banquet in collaboration with Bridge), sometimes known as KB Release Party. If you would like to submit something to KB Magazine, please contact the current KB Editor or if you would like a copy mailed to you, please contact the current president.
