“If you believe there is evil in this world than keep fighting it! As long as you share and spread the honest truth of what you believe. That’s all that should matter.” Happy one month to the PCN cast of Sampaguita 💚 Being able to share the stage with all of you for the last time as Mama Tagbánua was a dream come true and I’d do it all over again in a heart beat. The countless weeks and long nights till the AM were worth everything. PCN was my outlet to all my stresses and worries, seeing all of your beautiful faces almost every day and watching you excel in your aspects brought me so much joy! I couldn’t have done my part without all of your love and support. Growing into the character of Mama Ta was very challenging but she became a part of me. I hold her near and dear to my heart forever :’) Mama Ta will always be here to watch ya’ll rise and strive! Believe in yourself, use your voice to the best of your abilities, protect the forest, and stay away for mushrooms!!! Heheh 😉 #PCN30 #Sampaguita #SampaGetIt #MamaTagbánua #MamaTa #AkbayanSJSU #spiritsliveforever #youcantkillme #longliveMamaTa #spiritstaff #359yearsold (at Santa Clara Convention Center)

Opening night is about to begin and Mama Ta is ready for ya’ll! What does PCN mean to me? PCN is family, culture, and happiness. A way to honor those who have paved the paths for us and a way to keep our culture alive through dancing, singing, acting, and more. Nothing can compare to the feeling of putting on a cultural show for all our friends/family and for future generations to see 💚🇵🇭 #AkbayanSJSU #PCN30 #Sampaguita #SampaGetIt (at Santa Clara Convention Center)

My name is.. Tagbánua. Or you can call me Mama Ta for short 🌿🌼✨ Want to know who I am for this year’s PCN?

PCN is only ONE day away and I can’t wait to showcase alongside this amazing cast what we’ve put together for everyone 😭 #AkbayanSJSU #PCN30 #Sampaguita #SampaGetIt #TeaserThursday #MamaTagbanua

Get ready world!! SJSU’s PCN 30: Sampaguita is ONLY a few days away and to celebrate this memorable time, Akbayan has created a PCN spirit week! DAY 1: Director’s Appreciation To my acting directors Jared, Jeren, and Dom: Thank you SO MUCH for believing in me and pushing me to be the best Mama Tagbánua 😭 It’s been such a beautiful journey alongside you and the rest of our awesome acting cast. From auditions to now we’ve all grown so much, all thanks to ya’ll!! Can’t wait to kill it on stage and make all of you proud 💚 Ily all! To my Cultural director and best friend Carl: What an honor it’s been to be in a cultural dance taught by you! 4 years ago at a cultural workshop I saw how talented you were and thought you were so cool and wanted to be your friend so bad HAHAH. Over the years I’ve watched you become not only a great cultural director, but a phenomal cabinet member in two terms, a great friend, and an Akbayan legend. Thank you for being the light to guide and teach so many of us ✨ We love you!! All the weeks and hours of practicing will soon come to an end, but will all be worth it when we leave all our hard work on stage. We can’t wait to see everyone at our shows this weekend!! 🇵🇭 #Sampaguita #AkbayanSJSU #PCN30 #SampaGetIt #ilovemydirectors #acting #cultural #PCNspiritweek #iamMamaTa #cheerstomylastPCN (at San Jose State University)
