Legendary

Established in 2003 as one of the original families in Akbayan, Legendary was founded by Allen Archibal and Ted Miranda. Today, we have grown to be one of the biggest families within the KAAMP program. Our members are known for being involved on and off campus as well as around our community. Whether it would be: holding leadership positions, partaking in the arts, advocating for social justice, or uplifting the well being and spirit of others. You will meet a genuine soul in each Legendary member.

We live by our motto, “Legends do it Best” as we are people who never settle for less; always seeking new opportunities and benefits that will better not only ourselves but for those around us. Our values in culture, leadership, the arts, and family inspire us to be the best versions of ourselves. We draw this motivation from our background, as this self-growth is our way to give back to those who gave us the opportunity to be in a position full of opportunities. Something you will see in every Leg.

Our logo, the Diamond Carabao, comes from the national animal of the Philippines along with the diamond texture. These two features combined, along with our bright blue and white colors, create a symbol for resilience, strength, purity, and ambition. As these are the values that Legendary lives by. 

Our chant: 

“Whats my favorite word?” LEG! “Why you gotta say it like short?” LEGENDARY!

While a fun chant, it can also be seen as our connection to the Bay Area and San Jose, referencing Too $hort’s song “Blow the Whistle”. 

We are proud to announce that this year, we have two of our very own Legends on our 48th Cabinet! Hallie Gwen Funcion as our Internship Coordinator and Jessica Zabat as our Vice President! We also have a large variety of Legs in many different Core’s from Programs to Pillars!
