Filipina poet and activist,
Joi Barrios, will be making an appearance and giving a presentation at Northeastern University tomorrow at 7 pm! The event is titled Unmasking Power and it is hosted by our friends of District One.
She will be selling CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES as a fundraiser for the medical and legal defense funds of BAYAN (Bagong Alyansang Makabayan) and KMU (Kilusang Mayo Uno or May First Movement).
why should you come?!
You guys will have the opportunity to look at key players and events with a critical eye. The talk then addresses the inevitable question: "How can Filipino American students participate in issues like globalization, war, and human rights?" Through the talk, the speaker wishes to introduce concepts which may be useful to the students: cosmopolitanism, nationalism, diaspora nationalism, and internationalism.
remember. tomorrow. 7 pm- 9pm. northeastern university. you don't want to miss this!
it will be held in Curry Student Center Room 320-322.

Say hello to the smokinnnn hot
Ramiel Malubay from Miramar, Florida. Ramiele just made the top 24 of this years competition of American Idol. American Idol is always so much better when there's a Filipino-American that we can all root. Remember the season with Jasmine Trias and Camile Velasco?.. best season ever! Well, this year we can experience the same excitement. Let's support this Filipino-American artist. In the US. Filipinos rarely get a chance to shine in the Hollywood spotlight so let's make sure she gets far so she can rep for us Filipinos. Remember to vote, vote, vote if you can. I will keep you all updated with her progess throughout the competition. I gotta start watching American Idol ASAP!
Sorry about the long hiatus folks. The Barrel Man has been extremely busy the past few days. BUT i do have loads of news for you guys.
