Pilipino Council of Mabuhay Collective (PCMC)

Institutionalized in 2009, the Pilipino Council of Mabuhay Collective (hereafter referred to as "PCMC") is the principal students association council that oversees, represents, serves, and unites the Pilipino and Pilipino-American community at UCLA. In serving as an "impartial governing body" to undergraduate and graduate Pilipino students, PCMC Leadership, comprising the Cabinet and Senate leadership branches, brings together the 15 Pilipino-based constituent organizations. The PCMC motto is "Magkasama Bilang Isa, Mga Tao" translating to "Together As One, The People." The five pillars of PCMC are (1) academia, (2) culture, (3) politics, (4) profession, and (5) society. The Cabinet Branch of Mabuhay Collective comprises the Executive Office and Board of Directors totaling to 16 Administrators. The Senate Branch of Mabuhay Collective comprises one Senator and Associate Senator per constituent organization. PCMC is solely responsible for planning and executing its six annual community-wide programs called "Projects": Pilipino Welcome Reception, Pilipino American History Month Celebration, Mabuhay Winter Wellness, Mabuhay Benefit Festival, Mabuhay Formal, and Pilipino Farewell Celebration. The 15 Constituents are as follows: Anakbayan at UCLA, Kabalikat Kore, Kappa Psi Epsilon, Pilipino Recruitment and Enrichment Program, Pilipino Transfer Student Partnership, Pilipinos for Community Health, Pilipinos in Engineering and Science, Pilipinx Living Learning Community, Pilipinx Pre-Law Pipeline, Samahang Modern, Samahang Pilipino, Samahang Pilipino Advancing Community Empowerment, Samahang Pilipino Cultural Night, Samahang Pilipino Education and Retention, and Tinig Choral. PCMC strives to develop a cohesive, interdependent, and united Pilipino student population, and we are committed to supporting and uplifting the voices, events, and people of the Pilipino and Pilipino-American community at UCLA.
