When Typhoons Tino and Uwan devastated the Philippines in November 2025, they exposed more than the power of climate change, revealing decades of corruption, failed infrastructure, and government abandonment that turned storms into catastrophe. KALIKASAN (Tagalog for "nature") gathers Filipino and diaspora artists, scientists, and organizers for an evening of witness, truth-telling, and collective action in support of typhoon relief efforts for disaster victims in the Philippines.
Panel Discussion (5-6:30pm): "No More Floods, No More Lies: A Climate Justice Conversation" brings together journalists, organizers, climate scientists, and disaster medicine experts examining systemic failures and diaspora responsibility.
Performance (7pm): Kinding Sindaw & Concerned Artists of the Philippines NY (CAPNY) takes the stage with dances, songs, and art in motion.
All proceeds benefit Alibyo Cebu - Ayuda Network, a grassroots coalition of workers, farmers, students, and health workers providing community kitchens and direct aid to typhoon survivors, and the National Alliance for Filipino Concerns (NAFCON), supporting advocacy and organizing work on the ground in the Philippines.
More than a performance or exhibition, KALIKASAN is a practice of solidarity, transforming collective grief into action, diaspora resources into relief, and community gathering into sustained commitment to justice.

ABOUT KALIKASAN
The Association of Filipino Scientists in American (AFSA) previously hosted Kalikasan: The Philippines and the Climate Crisis on Earth Day 2023, featuring Mitzi Jonelle Tan, International Spokesperson of Youth Advocates for Climate Action Philippines (YACAP). That event examined the climate crisis in the Philippines through interactive discussion on devastating typhoons, mining operations, US military bases and the environment, and attacks on environmental defenders. This iteration of Kalikasan transforms that educational foundation into direct mutual aid and community response.
