In collaboration with other groups on Oʻahu, APO-Hawaii contributes to the understanding and appreciation of Filipino history and culture. APO alumni help with set construction as well as participate as part of the cast in historical plays written and directed by an APO brother, Raymund Liongson (Beta Lambda. 1972).

​

Among the historical reenactments APO alumni participated in are Kired, a reenactment of sakada life in Hawaii; Kasarinlan, a play on the Philippine journey to independence (1898); and Astig!, a musical tribute to the sakada in Hawaii. APO Hawaii looks forward to its participation in Kired2, a play celebrating the legacy of the sakada, the first Filipino migrants in Hawaii who came to the islands to work in the sugarcane plantation.

 

APO-Hawaii also takes part in the Filipino Community Center's Filipino Fiesta, putting up booths celebrating Filipino culture. The alumni have featured fiesta attractions such as Scaling Mt. Apo, Dumanonkayo, Apo, Sumangbaykayo, Apo, and Inapoy -- the magic of rice.
