Kawilihan USA We are a non-profit organization based in Long Beach, CA. Kawilihan is an Ilongo word which signifies "fondness" or enjoyment." With the help of Fr.

The word is symbolic because Ilongos love life, enjoyment, camaraderie, and a sense of belonging. This feeling can be attributed to the elegant affairs and lavish fiestas that the Ilongos celebrate, be it for Baptism, Birthdays, Anniversaries, Weddings or in honor of their town Patron Saint. Kawilihan was born on Adriatic Ave., Long Beach, and the idea came from a group of Ilongos who used to gather every weekend. It has been a drinking spree; at the same time, the group would wile away the hours telling funny stories and singing Filipino and Ilongo folk songs. This gathering was held not only to console themselves from getting homesick from their loved ones back in the Philippines, but also to break away from the monotony of long weekdays of hard work. Nelson, this group was established in 1981.
