Ma “BOO” hay:

Ma"BOO"hay is the annual talent showcase and charity event hosted in October in honor of Pilipinx-American Hxstory Month in October. The word “mabuhay” in Tagalog is an expression used in welcoming and showing hospitality. The "BOO" in Ma"BOO"hay was put in there originally as a Halloween pun, and we decided to stick with it. The Ma"BOO"hay Talent Showcase has also been a terrific outlet for up-and-coming artists to hone their talents in front of a large audience. Some past headliners include Drop N' Harmony, A.J. Rafael, a collaborative performance featuring Gabe Bondoc, Leejay Abucayan, and Jeremy "Passion" Manongdo, Ramielle Malubay, Kierra Folsom, Jeff Bernat, and Tatiana Manaois.
