About Us

Established in 1985, MABUHAY,

INC. was organized in response to a

felt need in the Filipino American

community for a support group -- a

network of individuals, families and

their friends who have similar concerns

about assimilation into the American

mainstream, interracial marriages,

raising biracial children, and

maintaining ties with the "old country"

-- the Philippines.
