DESCRIPTION:Ten years ago, “Diwang Pinay” (Spirit of the Filipina) was born. The 
 first visual and performing arts showcase of its kind, Diwang Pinay was 
 organized by a group of Pinays from the League of Filipino Students at San 
 Francisco State University. Since then, the legacy and gravity of this 
 event has continued as generations of Filipinas have realized that in the 
 midst of trials and tribulations, Filipino women always emerge triumphant 
 and, more importantly, beautiful. With the idea of putting Filipino 
 women’s struggles and talents at the center, the first Diwang Pinay 
 provided a space for Filipinas to share their stories, honor their 
 struggles, and engage with their community. Through art, poetry, music, 
 movement and theater, Diwang Pinay has become a hallmark event in the San 
 Francisco/Bay Area. Its significance, however, could not be contained as 
 Filipinas in other parts of the U.S., namely Los Angeles, Seattle and New 
 York City, also carry the namesake of Diwang Pinay.\n\nFrom the young pinay 
 MC Ruby Ibarra, to the delightful children from the local San Francisco 
 Filipino school, Galing Bata, to our cha cha dancing nanays and lolas from 
 SAMAKA, Diwang Pinay is an inter-generational space that welcomes people of 
 all gender identities, ethnicities, and walks of life and brings them 
 together to celebrate the essence and the spirit of the Filipina. Each year 
 has proven to be momentous, as it has highlighted important political 
 issues like domestic violence, motherhood, and immigration. This year, the 
 iVOW to fight VAW (Violence Against Women) campaign has been given a 
 platform, advocating the need to stand up and tackle all forms of violence 
 against women in our communities. Throughout the years, Diwang Pinay has 
 also paid tribute to the arduous but loving work of mothers, sisters, 
 lolas, and titas - all warriors of womanhood. \n\nDiwang Pinay is back with 
 ferocity in 2012 as we celebrate its tenth year anniversary! The longest 
 running event for Pinays, by Pinays - join Babae-San Francisco and The 
 League of Filipino Students (LFS) as we present Kilos Kababaihan: Hearts 
 Beating with the Movement on Sunday, December 9, 2012 from 6 to 9 p.m. at 
 theWomen’s Building in San Francisco. This year, Diwang Pinay is honored 
 to present a theater piece from the caregivers and workers of the Filipino 
 Community Center and Gabriela-USA’s CARE Project, who will proudly launch 
 Migrante-USA, a chapter of the international workers organization Migrante 
 International.\n\nWe cordially invite you to Diwang Pinay, and your 
 presence as a community leader would be significant at our tenth year 
 anniversary. We hope to you see you there! Please contact Melissa Reyes at

 your friends, family and loved ones and be prepared to celebrate, be moved 
 and come together as we call out: Kilos Kababaihan!\n
