BARKADA <3’s SCPASA!!!

SCPASA is not a separate entity. It is a space for Southern California Fil-Am clubs and organizations to come together. This is a space to support one another, to network, to collaborate and publicize events. We see that SCPASA is to be utilized as a median for the greater Filipino American community to reach college studies and vice versa. This means that “SCPASA” isn’t a body to be moved, but a place where our member organizations can work together to create allies, opportunities, and eventually – change. If you have two or more organizations together, that is SCPASA.

(SCPASA Facebook)


The Southern California Pilipino-American Student Alliance, or SCPASA, is, as the name implies, an alliance between Pilipino Organizations throughout Southern California.  It supports causes that promote culture, economical situations, and social justice pertaining to the Pilipino American community.

How do you become a member of SCPASA?  By being a member in Barkada, you already ARE a member in SCPASA!  But don’t let it stop there!  GET INVOLVED!!!
