Mabini Message — Welcome Back AB Samahan!

AB? SAMAHAN!

Whether it’s your first time stepping foot onto campus or last time walking into Park Boulevard, we’re so happy to have you here!

Who we are.

Established in 1971, Andres Bonifacio (AB) Samahan is San Diego State University’s Filipinx-American organization. We are built upon the values of our namesake, Andres Bonifacio, who led the fight for Philippine Independence during the late 19th century. Ultimately, we strive to share the rich culture and history we hold as a collective people and uplift our surrounding community in doing the same.

Our general body meetings (GBMs) are from 12 to 2 PM every Friday in Park Boulevard! You can get to Park Boulevard by walking past the Cal Coast Credit Union Office next to Oggi’s in the Aztec Student Union.

WHO’S READY FOR FG?!

Friendship Games, hosted by Cal State Fullerton PASA Kaibigan. The event is built on the values of SPIRIT, PRIDE, UNITY, AND FRIENDSHIP, or SPUFs. Filipinx-American organizations from across the nation will compete in games, perform a dance for “Roll Call,” and go compete in chants (SPUFs) created by each school. Friendship Games will be held on Saturday, October 17th, 2026.
