Pilipino Cultural Nights (PCNs) are a cornerstone of Filipino American college life—but what happens when you don’t feel “Filipino enough” to take the stage? In this episode of Pan de Soul, we explore the pressures, pride, and performance behind PCNs.We share personal stories, break down how PCNs came to be, and unpack the complex emotions that come with representing your culture while still figuring it out. Whether you were lead in your school’s historical trauma play, or just showed up for the pancit, this episode is for anyone who's ever wondered if they measure up to someone else's idea of what Filipino is supposed to look, sound, or act like.
🎭 Tagalog or not, tinikling or tik-toking—this is for the diaspora babies trying their best.
