***PATAK stands for "Pilipino Americans, Taasan Ating Kabataan" which is translated into "Filipino Americans, Uplift Our Youth" The word "Patak" in the Tagalog language means to drip, drop, or a drop of liquid. In terms of this educational series, "Patak" is symbolic for instilling drops of knowledge about educational, career, and life choices to our Pilipino American youth and community.
