We are the co-founders of Shala Social Club and the founder of Sama Sama. Shala Social Club is a Filipino social club based in LA that produces gatherings that feed the soul. Sama Sama hosts community walks, hikes, and more to cultivate a space for folks to find joy in being outside, move at their own pace, and connect with others.

As founders of these communities, we hope our kababayans can unite to support those affected by the recent floods and typhoons in the Philippines. Our love for our motherland runs deep, and we recognize the urgent need for more relief funding. In partnership with 88GardenCafe and local nonprofits, we aim to make a small yet meaningful impact for families navigating the loss of loved ones and the devastation of their homes.

A small amount goes a long way. Salamat!
