Kapatid Committee
The English translation of the Tagalog word Kapatid is “sibling.”
PASU’s Kapatid committee is passionate about building relationships between the Filipino/FilipinoAmerican community at Stanford and that of local high schools. Kapatid builds and strengthen PASU’s relationship with Filipino youth by facilitating important cultural dialogue and mentorship between the two communities. Kapatid’s new mentorship program is primarily focused on establishing a longlasting connection with the Filipino Youth Organization of Fremont High School in Sunnyvale. Kapatid interacts with youth beyond its mentorship program through collaborating with other committees on youthfocused events large and small such as the annual Pilipino Youth Leadership Conference spearheaded by the Kababayan committee and quarterly hangouts put on by PASU’s Social Committee.

Kapatid Co-Chairs
Gilbert Rosal
Howdy! My name is Gilbert Rosal and I'm a sophomore and Kapatid Co-Chair for PASU. I love high school outreach and giving back to the community in any way I can (especially teaching!). Last year I was a Kapatid Intern. Some other interests of mine include game design, coding, and playing music. If you ever have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!

Hi! I’m Elle and I’m one of the Kapatid Co-Chairs for the ‘19-’20 PASU year. I am from Los Angeles, California, a pretty diverse area in every sense of the word. However, having gone to a primarily caucasian high school, I felt deprived of the ability to culturally identify with the people around me. Last year, PASU gave me a home I will forever be grateful for. Not only was my intern class the wackiest group of people I have ever met, but the upperclassmen were so excited to take us in and welcome us into their already strong pamilya. Through PASU I’ve been able to find friends who make me laugh, loudly burp in public with me, and dance their hearts out to Beyonce’s Love on Top. By co-chairing the high school outreach committee, I hope to bring neighboring high schools that same feeling that PASU brought me: pride, love, acceptance.
