The Pilipino American Coalition (P.A.C.) and Kappa Psi Epsilon Sorority of CSULB have completed yet another successful year of their annual Christmas festival. Last Saturday, the 8th Annual Filipino Christmas Fest took place at the north lawn of the HHS-1 building on campus.

Although there was some rain in the morning, the students did not let the rain prevent the day from being filled with singing, caroling, dancing and Filipino food. There were also almost 20 vendors exhibiting Filipino arts, Filipino-American clothing lines and also non-profit organizations encouraging involvement in the community.

Myron Marten the host and member of the first Filipino-American collegiate fraternity Theta Delta Beta said, "the Christmas fest is a fun event to host because it promotes culture, unity and school spirit for CSULB. The event promotes Filipino traditions but is open to all other cultures to come and celebrate Christmas."

Highlights of the day included a hip-hop dance performance by the P.A.C modern team, Filipino artwork by Michelle Bautista and Christmas caroling provided by the ladies of Kappa Psi Epsilon.
