Siklab 2014: Why Control, a Benefit Gig

 

 

The Architectural Students Association of the Philippines – University of the Philippines Chapter (ASAPHIL-UP) is the largest student organization in the UP College of Architecture, with an inter-collegiate network in the Philippines, including schools from TUP, TIP- Manila, TIP- Quezon City, Bulacan State University and FEU.

 

We are proud to have been named an ASEAN Champion of Biodiversity by the British Council and Association for South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) in 2011 for our aid in achieving environmental architecture design solutions to the wetlands in Candaba, Pampanga and for creating awareness in sustainable architecture.

What Is Siklab?

Siklab is an annual benefit gig organized by ASAPHIL-UP. It serves as a fundraiser for “Artreach”, the organization’s annual outreach and arts workshop for kids. Now on its fourth year, Siklab aims to raise awareness for its beneficiaries, while serving as a stage for both rising and professional bands.

Last year, Siklab was held in Today x Future in Cubao, Quezon City with performances from Ang Bandang Shirley, Lions and Acrobats, Anton & The Salvadors, Ourselves The Elves, Slow Hands, Bullet Dumas, Luigi D’Avola and Harlequin Carnivale. The proceeds of the event were given to cancer-stricken kids at Philippine Children’s Medical Center (PCMC). The benfit gig yet again lives up to its name by sparking hope for a better future for these kids

Now, Siklab aims to raise funds for the victims of Supertyphoon Yolanda in Tacloban, Leyte. The team thinks that a benefit gig is very timely and it is never too late to help. This March 1, 2014, in Today x Future, Cubao, the stage would be set for another night of music with this benefit gig, which would be dubbed as “Siklab 2014: Why Control”.
