BNK’s Hybrid Spring Program wrapped up its final in-class session in collaboration with Kawayan Folk Arts (@kawayanfolkarts). We’re deeply grateful to Tito RJ and all our Titos and Titas for sharing their time and knowledge, teaching us about Philippine instruments and guiding us through a full dance in under an hour.

We also learned about the Subanen, the earliest inhabitants of Mindanao whose name loosely translates to “people of the river.” Their traditional dance, Dumadel, celebrates a bountiful harvest.

Look out for information about BNK Summer Program soon!

Why is it important to learn about Filipino American history? 💜

Our students had the amazing opportunity to explore San Jose’s FilAm history while walking alongside a true community legend, Manong Robert Ragsac. As the founder of Pinoytown SJ, he shared powerful stories, making it even more special for our students to learn that he was born and raised right in Pinoytown.

Moments like these remind us that history comes alive when families and students learn together. It becomes more than a lesson, it becomes a shared experience, a connection, and a deeper sense of community.

What is your Filipino word of the day?

#filipinolanguage #tagalog #bnkfilamschool #filamyouth #bnkspringprogram

Welcome to our new 5th Generation students and our returning BNK families for the Spring Hybrid Program! We had a wonderful time learning together in our outdoor classroom at Delano Manongs Park San Jose, a beautiful Filipino American park built for our community in the South Bay.

Today our students explored the Philippines, learned about our flag, and discovered that the country is made up of 7,641 islands! We also practiced speaking Filipino, with some students learning the language for the very first time. We’re so proud of our young learners and excited for the weeks ahead. 💜

BNK Celebration Day! 🎉

As we wrap up our summer program, our amazing children shared all that they’ve learned in such a beautiful way! From songs, skits, and poems to a special cookbook project filled with family recipes, they truly shined. They even sang and recited in Tagalog, nakakabilib talaga! 💖

We are so proud of you, mga bata. Great job to all our Bayani ng Kabataan students! 🌟👏

During BNK Summer Session 6, our students explored what it means to be an aktibista. For children, being an aktibista can feel like being a real-life superhero! It means noticing when something is unfair, speaking up when others feel too shy, and imagining a world where everyone is safe, respected, and happy. Our students learned that activism can be as simple as standing up for a friend, protecting the Earth by recycling, or celebrating and sharing their culture with pride. Even small actions can make a big difference! Our BNK parents also had a parent dialogue to talk about the future of BNK.

We also spent time practicing for our upcoming Celebration Day, which is happening today! Our students are so excited to share with their families everything they’ve been learning at BNK. And the fun doesn’t stop there, next week is our final day and field trip, where we’ll close out the summer with even more memories together. We can’t wait to celebrate as a community!

We are excited to welcome Kristian Kabuay as our special community guest this Sunday, August 24, 2025, from 1–2 PM at Northside Community Center. Kristian will share about Filipino traditional tattoos through his book Little Mambabatok, and we invite youth to join this fun and educational event. This is also a great opportunity for potential BNK students to experience the spirit of our summer program.

If you’d like your child to attend, please email us at bnkfilamschoolsj@gmail.com to RSVP. The cost is $25 per child.

Note: Current BNK summer program students do not need to RSVP.

Kristian Kabuay is a Filipino American artist and cultural practitioner who brings the rich traditions of the Philippines to life. He is known for reviving Baybayin, the pre-colonial Philippine script, through creative ways like traditional tattoos, augmented reality, and multimedia art, helping families and youth connect with their heritage.

BNK Session 5’s theme is Bayanihan (pronounced: bah-yah-nee-han) a special Filipino word that means working together to help each other, especially in times of need.

A long time ago, in villages in the Philippines, when a family needed to move to a new home, their neighbors would all come together to help carry the whole house (called a bahay kubo) to a new place. People would lift the house using big bamboo poles, and many hands made the work easier. This spirit of helping one another without asking for anything in return is called bayanihan.

Today, bayanihan doesn’t just mean carrying houses, it can be any act of kindness where people unite to support each other, like helping during storms, sharing food, cleaning up together, or taking care of someone who’s sick.

Bayanihan is like teamwork, kindness, and being a good neighbor, all in one word. It reminds us that when we help each other, we are stronger and happier together.

Are you ready for BNK session 6 today? We are almost closing on BNK’s Summer Program and we learned so much!

Amazing BNK Session 4 with our community guests Tita Chef Charleen Caabay, the first Filipino American to win Food Network’s Chopped and Tita Joanne Boston, the co-founder of the Filipino Food Movement talking about pandesal and your favorite palaman.

We also had Kuya RJ Payomo founder of Kawayan Folk Arts who came and taught us Lapay Bantigue a dance from Masbate.

Also, maraming salamat to Tita Jobeth Devera with NBC’s California Live for visiting us and doing a feature story about BNK.

Three sessions down already, can you believe it? This week, we had an awesome visit from Silicon Valley Kali, who shared the art of Filipino Martial Arts with us. 🥋🇵🇭

Session 2 at BNK was full of heart and history! Our theme, Kuwento, came to life with a special visit from Lolo Oscar, Oscar Peñaranda, the very first teacher of Filipino American Studies. He shared stories that reminded us how powerful our voices are, and how storytelling (kuwento) can shape both culture and scholarship.

We also proudly introduced our BNK generations and welcomed this class as BNK’s 4th generation! Tita Ann had some fun with our Manang Dawn class, asking them their favorite Tagalog words, lots of smiles and laughter all around.

Who’s excited for tomorrow? We heard we’re learning about Filipino martial arts, see you there! 🥋🇵🇭

What Parents Say

Myles had a transformative experience in BNK’s inaugural class. His identity was affirmed; he saw himself in the stories, curriculum and experiences of his peers, which is different from typical school year experience. He learned about our Filipino symbols, language, arts and foods, which made him proud of where he comes from and our people. We look forward to being a part of the BNK family for years to come
