Malakas at Maganda (2019)
In 2019, Greg was one of the chairs for the 28th annual Pilipino Cultural Celebration for Bayanihan at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
Titled malakas at maganda, or "strong and beautiful" in the Filipino language tagalog, the show focused on addressing the intersectionality of Filipino people and the LGBTQ+ community. Reina Mendoza, a college sophomore and student leader, struggles to navigate between the communities and responsibilities of being part of both the Filipino and the LGBTQ+ communities. She approaches the challenges of institutional, interpersonal, and internalized oppression that both of these communities face, and she begins to face the reality of what it means to practice allyship and advocacy. malakas at maganda shines a light on the injustices against the LGBTQ+ community and how they intersec with the traditional beliefs and historic struggles of Filipino people.
