Culture
On November 16, OYFA will be a part of Global Expo, an event that will feature various cultural organizations around Grounds. We will be participating by performing traditional and modern dances!
If you are a first year or have never been a part of Family Weekend's Culturefest in the past, we encourage you to sign up! It's a great way to get involved in OYFA and bond with other new members! You don't have to know how to dance, we'll teach you  (Not me of course, since I can't dance...LOL)!
The first practice will be during Big/Lil Week on September 22, time and place TBA! See you there!

ISIP
Kamusta, OYFA!
Here is ISIP's weekly fact: A senator claimed that only taxpayers should be allowed to vote in elections to prevent patronage politics in the country. She says that those who don't pay taxes are among the poorest of the poor and vulnerable to receiving money from politicians. Here is the article for those who want to learn more.
Have a question related to the Philippines? Send us a question and we'll discuss it in the next WIO!
Much Mahal(love),
Jenny(jnh5ak) & Angeli(ame9vk)
