HXstory

    The Pilipinx American Student Association of California State University, East Bay (formerly Hayward) was established in 1972 by our founder Randy Sabado. It was created to be a cultural organization that focuses on promoting the Filipinx culture throughout our East Bay campus and our community. In 2016, Pilipino was changed to Pilipinx. PASA is very well known on campus, not just as a cultural organization but as a community. As a community, we are proud of our Filipino-American students eager to learn more about their roots. We are also very proud of our students of diverse backgrounds for their open minds and enthusiasm in embracing our culture.
