The History of
Pilipino Culture Night (PCN)

Pagkakaisa is one of the very first organizations in California to host a Pilipino Culture Night (PCN). It has been an annual tradition for decades and it continues to educate, advocate and spread awareness of the Pilipino and Pilipino-American culture, traditions, and prevailing social issues. In the case of Pagkakaisa, our Culture Night is known as 'Gising Na', or 'Wake Up'. 

Gising Na began as showcase that highlighted local talents and was produced by organization members. It consisted of skits, cultural and modern dance, as well as various performing arts.

Take a look at Gising Na through the years!
