Liga Filipina was first established in the fall semester of 1992. It consisted of a few Filipinos trying to educated the Albany community about the Filipino culture as well as issues concerning Filipinos and Filipino Americans. Since then they have grown, and now collaborate with Filipino groups all across the east coast. They come together and have programs that is both fun and educational. Liga Filipina continues to grow today and continues to educate the community about Filipino history and culture. They keep the Filipino faith alive on campus as well as the rest of the community.
