Georgetown Club Filipino

Mabuhay!  Welcome to the website for Georgetown Club Filipino.  We hope this site will both be informative for current members and give prospective members a peek inside what we do as a Filipino club on campus. This site also seeks to show prospective members that we are not exclusive--we wish to promote, in accordance to the ideals of a Jesuit university, an inclusive environment in which members of different cultures can appreciate and experience the food, dances, initiatives, jokes, and customs that help define our "Filipino-ness".

Please, sit back and enjoy the site. It's currently under construction, but with due time, we'll have the whole site up faster than you can say, "Palakang Kabkab, kumakalabukab, kaka-kalabukab pa lamang, kumakalabukab na naman."

From here on, I will randomly post things as if it were a blog.  E-mail lmp49@georgetown.edu for requests.

Ooh! Filipino Trivia... (http://www.ex-designz.net/filipinofacts.asp)

1) In the Philippines, Filipinos were introduced to the English language in 1762 by British invaders, not Americans.

2) What is the world's 3rd largest English-speaking nation, next to the USA and the UK? The Philippines.

3) Los Angeles, California was co-founded in 1781 by a Filipino named Antonio Miranda Rodriguez, along with 43 Latinos from Mexico sent by the Spanish government.

4) The first Filipino-American in US Congress was Virginia Rep. Robert Cortez-Scott, a Harvard alumnus.

5) "What's still most impressive to me about the Philippines is the friendliness of the people, their sense of humor...," wrote Honolulu journalist John Griffin in a 1998 visit to Manila.
