By Melody Gonzales @melodeeerose

Filipino and Filipino-American college students danced from one end of the room to the other in San Jose State University’s Spar- tan Complex as band members banged on drums and struck gong-like instruments in preparation for Pilipino Cultural Night. Pilipino is considered to be the traditional Tagalog spelling of Filipino, according to Pilipino Cultural Night coordinator Ann De La Cruz. Pilipino Cultural Night is an annual event that SJSU’s Akabayan, a Filipino-American organization, hosts in an effort to enrich the cultural awareness of the campus and sur- rounding community. Akbayan is celebrating its 26th annual Pilipino Cultural Night with a theatrical play titled “Barrio to Bayou” this weekend. The two-day event will consist of cultural dance, modern dance, acting, singing and tinikling, a folk dance from the Philippines, according to De La Cruz. “When people walk into the show they are going to feel like they walked into the Philip- pines,” De La Cruz said.
