Filipinos in Liberal Arts and Humanities (FILAH) is a Filipino American organization, as implied by its name, that unites Fil-Am students in events related to Liberal Arts and Humanities. This organization serves in educating the masses about Fil-Am culture. It is also a means for expression within the UC Davis Fil-Am community.

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

FILAH hosts and participates in a number of events throughout the academic year. Our most popular events are: America is in the Mic, America is on the Stage, FILAH Idol, Halo Halloween, F*** Valentine's Day, Dialogue Meetings, and Kinabukasan Magazine. FILAH holds these events once every quarter: open mics, career panels, kick-its, & dialogues.

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 and Spring quarter.

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 Wyatt Pavilion. AIOTS is held once every year during Winter quarter.

For more information, please contact Christine Erfe (caerfe@ucdavis.edu) or Rissa Marasigan (cbmarasigan@ucdavis.edu).

FILAH Idol was founded by FILAH Core 2009-2010. This showcase features performers that vie for the title as FILAH Idol. The grand prize for becoming FILAH Idol is being featured in a music video with the current year's FILAH Core.

Halo Halloween is a play on words of the traditional Filipino 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 Feburary. Couples and singles alike are welcome.

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.

FILAH board is comprised of the following elected board officials: President, Internal Vice–President, External Vice–President, Treasurer, Secretary, Fundraising Chair, Publicity Chair, Banquet Coordinator, Community Chair, Outreach Chair, Herstorian, Kinabukasan Editor, Career Panel Coordinator, Videographer, and Webmaster.

If you are interested in applying for a remaining board position, please contact Christine Erfe (caerfe@ucdavis.edu) or Rissa Marasigan (cbmarasigan@ucdavis.edu) for a board application.
