Welcome to the Largest Student-Run Pilipinx American Event in the Nation

Friendship Games began in 1986 and features over 40 Pilipinx American Student organizations from college campuses representing California. These students come to participate in a day of friendly but competitive picnic games, performances, and to celebrate “S.P.U.F” – Spirit, Pride, Unity, and Friendship. Schools compete for the chance to take home 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place trophies, and the school that shows the most S.P.U.F is awarded an 8 foot tall trophy. Join us at California State University, Fullerton in October for the 40th Annual Friendship Games!

CSUF PASA Kaibigan started the tradition of Friendship Games and they take pride in being the host school each year. Find out more.

Celebrating 40 Years

 

Friendship Games started with the goal of connecting Pilipinx American college students and bringing them into one space to bond over their shared experiences and celebrate their differences. This year, we are proud to announce the theme of FG40 will be scrapbook. A culmination of the unique pride and rich history of Friendship Games is what allowed the event to thrive and continue over the years.

Meet Our Mascots

To commemorate 40 years, our wonderful team created three mascots named after the main regions of the Philippines and inspired by the national flag. The siblings represent one piece of Friendship Games with their own personalities and passions.

 

Mindee

Athletic and competitive, Mindee loves being outdoors and participating in the games. Her favorite game is Alpine because it gives her the chance to work in a team. Mindee spends her free time going on hikes through the mountain ranges to see amazing views of the Philippine landscape. She also loves reading and finding new places to travel from the comfort of her own room.


Luzai

Known for their bubbly personality and fervor for the spotlight, Luzai finds themself full of energy when connecting with other schools in SPUF. They love meeting people, going to concerts, and traveling to new places. Luzai also has a deep passion for history and learning. She especially enjoys eating and cooking traditional Filipino cuisine because it reminds them of their grandparents.


Vince

A bit quiet and introverted, Vince finds a passion for being on stage (sometimes). He loves to dance, showing off his moves whenever he is given the opportunity and is especially excited for roll call. Vince often goes to the beach to bathe in the sun and listen to the calming waves crash on the shore. He spends a lot of his free time drawing and watching B-tier horror movies with his siblings to annoy them.
