CPP BARKADA

our Pillars

Pilipinx American Cultural Night is a celebration of our culture through an organized performance of a traditional two-act play with traditional and modern dances. PACN’s script is usually written by the Culture Chair, and dances are managed by Barkada’s Entertainment Company Coordinator. PACN is actualized by Vision Team, and coordinators in POD Squad choreograph and teach the dances to general members. PACN is usually scheduled during late April/early May. Other Cal Poly Pomona students may see general members practicing for the performance at the CLA Paseo between the months January to April.
