WHAT IS SPUF? SPUF stands for spirit, pride, unity, and friendship. For most people, the broad definition of SPUF is entirely subjective. But regardless of personal interpretation, SPUF has been the medium through which friends have been brought together. Instead of trying to create one definitive answer—here are a few member responses to the question—“What is SPUF to you?” “Out of the four words in S.P.U.F, Pride and Unity stand out the most. We as a club come together to show others of our pride as Filipinos and as a unit. To think that so many schools from all over the state congregate in one place to do the same is just incredible. SPUF is a feeling that to me is essential to the club. Because if you’re not enthusiastic about Filipino culture, about making friends, then I don’t believe BARKADA would exist.” – Karima “Kay” Reyes
“I really don’t have a set definition of what SPUF is to me, but all I can say is that they can be used in our everyday lives. We need that sense of spirit and pride in ourselves to push through the day. Unity and friendship can help our days better. To put it in my little perspective, I think SPUF really is just something positive that goes beyond Friendship Games.” – Oliver “Oli” Rafols
